How many of you have failed with your diet because you were just flat out too hungry all the time?
It’s actually a lot more common than you think. When we diet, we tend to think less is best. This isn’t always the case. Now, I am not going to go into detail on how much of everything you should be eating because each person is different and each goal is unique. Instead, I am going to focus on a few select foods you can eat within your current nutrition plan to help keep you full until the next time you eat. Here are a few of my favorites:
1. Oatmeal. This should already be a staple in your diet not only at breakfast, but at any meal throughout the day. Just be sure to pair this with a high-quality protein. Oatmeal will fill you up and keep you full with its soluble fiber, protein, phosphorus, potassium, iron, and magnesium. If you have the option, go with steel-cut oats. They will keep you fuller longer.
2. Avocados. I could eat an avocado every day. In fact, ask my wife, I probably almost do. They have a big dose of monounsaturated fats and also contain a significant amount of fiber, almost upwards of 14 grams per avocado.
3. Broccoli. Broccoli is a part of the cruciferous family of vegetables, all of which are packed with nutrients. They have a load of antioxidants and fiber. One cup of broccoli has over five grams of fiber in it. Eat up!
4. Brussels sprouts. Don’t like them? You’re not alone. Why is this? Probably because a lot of people do not know how to cook them properly. Search for some recipes. You can make a healthy recipe and have great tasting sprouts. Over four grams of fiber per cup.
You can simply add these into your nutrition plan and stay full for hours and burn stored fat. Remember, portions are important, so like anything else, do not overdo it! Stay full, stay active, stay fit.
If you have any questions for me, don’t hesitate to reach out by phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
