Lettuce your BFF? Chicken on top of greens everyday? Let me guess you are trying to lose weight? Most people eat like this when "dieting" but you should ask yourself if you are really full. To really fill up without the calories you don't need to eat boring foods. Be clever instead. Use portion distortion that fills up your plate and your belly.
Make it spicy!
Most herbs and flavorful spices are calorie free and send a satisfying message to your brain. They tend to trigger the sensation of fullness faster than bland dishes do. Plus some spices stabilize your blood sugar. BONUS!
Bar Time.
The salad bar silly! Try new veggies
and take the boredom out. Of course the salad bar is a bit pricier than cleaning and chopping your own, but when you factor in what won't go bad in the crisper bin, the cost evens out.
Air Head.
Air has no calories. That's why popcorn and egg whites are satisfying but don't have mega calories. Try eating puffed up foods.
Just Say NO to dry fruit.
You've heard that water adds weight. Right?In this case its a good thing. Water adds weight and volume to food, but zero calories. Think one small banana OR 2 cups of grapes, 2 1/2 cups of watermelon, or 2 1/2 cups of strawberries. That's a decent amount of food and it'll fill you up!
Maintaining a constant desirable weight can make you not only look younger but you will feel younger too!
