Overcoming Snacking
Need Help? Try These.....
In this short blog, we’re gonna look at a few ways to avoid over eating with foods that give you the feeling of being full, or satiety, to give it it’s correct term. These foods will help you stop hunger pangs before they surface. Snacking is extremely common, especially during the evening, and it has been shown to be the biggest contributor to weight gain.
Fish – White fish has been shown to keep you fuller for longer compared to salmon. Steam or grill some cod, or bass to stop you reaching for extra after you’ve eaten.
Potatoes – Potatoes keep you feeling fuller longer than most foods, and can keep you feeling full for around two hours after eating. Go for sweet potato for a slightly healthier option, and a fibre packed punch of carbohydrates.
Steak – A great source of protein, and packed with beneficial micronutrients including iron, a lean cut of red meat will go further in keeping your belly satisfied.
Eggs – One egg can contain around 6g of protein, and are high on the satiety index. Studies have shown that eggs are 50% higher than most breakfast cereals on the index. Eggs area a complete protein of the highest standard.
Oats – A great source of fibre with the added benefit of protein, it’s the breakfast cereal of champions. Add a little fruit such as banana for added energy and a dash of cinnamon to help regulate blood sugar levels, and you’ll be ready to start the day like a winner, not to mention warding off hunger for most of the morning.
Other great examples are apples, beans, and lots of greens. Try some for yourself, and find which ones work for you.
