Most people are now addicted to foods that are high in sugar, fat, and salt, these types of food cause people to crave for more foods that are loaded with unhealthy ingredients.
This has led to instructions given to people to stop them from eating food high in sugar, fat, and salt. This has led to the conundrum of finding the perfect and healthy replacement. Most people have been left to do the research which is no simple task. Michael Pollan stated in In Defense of Food, scientists and the food media keep things much too complicated for the average person. This confusion keeps people trapped in a fat body.
All this been said, in this guide, we will show you better quality foods that won’t lead to overeating, will keep you full for a long time and quite easy to find at any local grocery store.
Listed below are the food list:
Banana
Not only are bananas available all through the year, they are fairly inexpensive as well. If you reach out for a banana when you feel hungry, you’ll nourish your body and you’ll be ingesting way less fat and sugar.
Eggs
Eggs are an excellent source of protein and as we know, protein is the “real diet secret”. Foods high in protein will keep you full longer. As long as you limit the number of egg consumption in a week below 10, they are good for you. In fact, a study showed that eating two eggs for breakfast helped women lose 65% more weight and decreased their waistlines 83% more than women who didn’t! Funny but true.
Almonds
Almonds are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and protein. Just one handful of almonds will keep you full for a long time because they are great at suppressing appetite and they are such an important snack foods
Avocados
Avocados are so misunderstood no wonder many people avoid them because they think they are fattening. If you are a keen follower of The Biggest Loser Season 8, you will rejoice each time trainer Bob or Jillian advised the participants to include ½ avocado at lunch time because it contains good fats (monounsaturated fatty acids). Plus, they contain protein that will fill you up nicely.
Peanut butter
Peanut butter is full of protein and honestly, it’s such a convenient food. You can spread some peanut on toast or crackers and you know that you’ll be full for many hours to come! It’s true that peanuts are high in fat, but they contain mono-unsaturated fats which are good fats!
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is another under-appreciated option in diet choices. It’s a great super food because it’s low in sugar, high in fiber, it’s so quick and easy to prepare. Between 5 to 10 minutes, your oatmeal is ready and you’ll be full for hours after eating a bowl.
Apples
There’s a known anthem common to mothers “one apple a day keeps the doctor away” you should know that there’s a reason for saying this. Apples are full of fiber, packing an apple for your daily snack will not only add one fruit/vegetable portion to your daily recommended intake, but the fiber will fill up your stomach. That way, you won’t be so obsessed with unhealthy food and certainly you may not be that tempted by the glazed donuts that Marcy brought into the office.
