Don’t let hunger creep in

When you are trying to lose weight hunger is the major barrier. Instead of eating less while dieting, try to stock up low-density food that will fill you up for a small amount of calories. The low-density fibres are high in water and fibre. 

DO NOT EAT THESE! TRY THE ONES MENTIONED BELOW!! 


Try these.

Eat plenty of green leaves, lettuce, tomatoes, green beans, melons and onions. Add these to stews, soups, pasta sauces. These are high volume, high satisfaction and low calorie stars! Avoid dry fruits and biscuits for munching when hungry. Dry fruits lack water and can pack a lot of calories in a small portion.

Drink plenty of water. Half of your total fluid intake should ideally be water. Make it interesting with soda, mineral water or herbal teas. Remember that fresh fruits and vegetables have lot of water. Stock them up!

Don’t skip starters. They are not just appetizers, they also lowers the energy density of your main meal. Choose a vegetable soup or garden salad with low-fat density.

Take loads of protein. You have plenty to choose from this category lean red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, soya, and grains. They make you feel full for long period, reducing the intake of other food.

Eat plenty of food containing whole grains. Do check the content for whole grains.


When you have proper and fuller meals, there is a less chance of you feeling hungry between meals. Even when you do feel hungry, never starve. Eat small quantities of low calorie food.
