Avocado
Packed with healthy fats and fibre, avocado makes a fabulous choice for staying full. You can spread it on toast, toss it into salads, add a few slices to a sandwich or blend it into a smoothie for a scrumptious and satisfying treat.
Oats
Oats are the champions of breakfast foods when it comes to staying power. They're rich in complex carbohydrates and fibre, providing a steady release of energy so you can last until your next meal. Plus, you can top them with fruits and nuts for an extra dose of deliciousness.
Legumes
We’re talking, lentils, chickpeas, beans etc. These little guys are loaded with protein and fibre, a dynamic duo of the food world that will keep you feeling full for longer. You can whip up a tasty bean salad, throw some lentils into a curry, or blend chickpeas into hummus for a filling snack.
Nuts
Nuts are brimming with healthy fats, protein and fibre making them great for seeing off hunger pangs. All you need is a small handful.
Protein
Whether it's from lean meats like chicken or plant-based sources like tofu and tempeh, protein takes the cake for its hunger-quenching abilities. It helps stabilise blood sugar levels and keeps you feeling full for longer.
Water
Don’t forget to drink enough water! Sometimes, our bodies confuse thirst with hunger, leading us to eat when all we really need is a refreshing glass of water.
Finally, how you eat can be just as important as what you eat.
Slow down and enjoy your meal. When you eat too quickly, your brain might not register that you're full, leading to overeating. And don’t eat while you’re distracted, like watching TV or working at your desk. Let your meal be your focus, eat slowly, and savour what you’re tasting.
