“Health in a Hurry: 20 seconds that can change your life” – by Deborah Enos
Eat heavy foods
By heavy, I don’t mean heavy with calories but heavy by weight.
While the calories and far in food will help fill you up, so will the weight of your food. Did you ever wonder why you can eat a whole bag of rice cakes and you never get full? There’s nothing in a rice cake that will fill you up. Your body needs calories, fat, and “weight” to fill up your tummy.
You can eat less and still feel full if you choose heavy and healthy foods. Here are few examples: oranges, grapefruits, apples, broccoli, cauliflower, cooked spinach, bok choy, and cabbage.
Weekend tip: Lightly steam or grill broccoli and cauliflower. Put them in plastic bags and dip in hummus for high energy and filling afternoon snack.
Also, drinking more water and hot tea can keep you feeling fuller, longer.
To your health,
