1. Protein, Protein, Protein
Lean sources of protein such as chicken, fish, turkey, etc. are great at helping you satisfy your hunger. It is an important macronutrient that you should try to include in every meal and snack that you eat throughout the day. It is good for you and will help you stay fuller longer! Aim for at least 15-20 grams of protein in each meal, more if you can.
2. Water filled foods
You can trick your body into thinking that it is full by consuming foods with a high water content. Think of your stomach as a container, if you eat foods with a high water content, the water will take up more space in your stomach causing you to feel full. Therefore, you should aim to more leafy veggies and fruits such as melons, pineapples, and berries. They are not calorie dense, but they have so much water that they will fill you up fairly quick.
3. Fluids
Just drink more water! You should be drinking water already for its great health benefits, but it can also aid you in your weight loss journey. Try drinking a glass of water before each meal to fill some of the space in your stomach. It will cause you to eat less, but you will not feel deprived of food afterwards!
Just a side note for my readers. Losing weight is something that can be difficult for a lot of people, but just like anything worthwhile it takes work to achieve. Just keep your head up and always keep pushing forward.
The only way you can really fail at losing weight or achieving any goal for that matter is if you completely give up. There will be mishaps and mistakes along the way, but in the end you are the one that is in charge of your destiny and your results.
Find what motivates you and what inspired you to lose weight in the first place. Keep this in your head the entire time you are on your journey. Especially keep it in mind the days that you struggle and hit bumps in the road.
You will be so happy you stuck with it in the end, let's get to work!
