When it comes to weight loss, there is one point that everyone can agree on: if you want to lose weight, you need to eat less. On some diet plans, it?s just plain less food. On others, it?s less of certain kinds of foods. But inevitably, something about your dietary intake has to give.
But here lies a problem that almost everyone will run into: eating less can leave you feeling hungry and unsatisfied. This is why most diets tend to work only in the short term. People are willing to ride the draft of a New Year?s resolution, or tough it out for a special event over the span of a few weeks. But few people are willing to go a lifetime in a constant state of hunger. There is an easy way to fix this problem– learn how to fill up on fewer calories. This allows for satisfaction with both portion size, and dress size. How successful you are at doing this comes down to one word: satiety.
Satiety refers to achieving and maintaining a feeling of fullness. Satiety is generally what makes us decide we?ve had enough to eat. Foods with high fiber content help us fill up on fewer calories. So do foods with a high water content, and volume. Foods with simple flavors, foods that avoid excess amounts of sugar or salt, and foods that avoid combinations of sweet, salty, and savory also promote satiety. Also try foods with a low glycemic load, and high quality protein.
Mother Nature has a long list of foods where you can find most or all of these attributes: vegetables, fruits, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, whole grains, fish, lean meats, eggs, and so on. Also try adding PGX to your meals and snacks to help you feel fuller faster. Filling up on fewer calories means portion control and satisfaction can coexist ? and that makes lasting weight control much more accessible. In fact, it?s pretty much having your cake, and eating it, too!
