The Trick to Squashing Your Hunger Pangs

en your stomach is constantly growling and you feel light-headed or shaky
from hunger, it's really hard to stick with a weight-loss diet. The
uncomfortable sensations that go along with a low-cal diet were most likely
programmed into us from prehistoric times so we'd make it a priority to hunt
and gather. Way back then, any biological mechanism that helped a person
avoid starvation was valuable; nowadays, though, it just makes dieting
incredibly difficult. 

Rather than resorting to risky appetite-suppressing drugs that are
ineffective over the long term, try tapping into the power of foods that
keep you feeling full longer. The two nutrients that do the trick better
than anything else are fiber and protein. That's because both slow
digestion, which means that instead of delivering a big rush of calories to
your body, foods that contain these nutrients provide a more steady and
constant source of energy. 

Your best sources for fiber include cereals like All Bran, Fiber One, Kashi
Go Lean (the plain version, not Go Lean "Crunch") and shredded wheat; beans
and lentils (great in soups and salads); vegetables; 100 percent whole-grain
breads (some of the reduced calorie brands pump in extra fiber); whole-wheat
pasta; and whole grains such as brown rice, wild rice, barley, and quinoa. 

When choosing protein, always go for the leanest types, such as egg whites,
skinless chicken or turkey, low-fat cottage cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt,
fish, seafood, and pork tenderloin.
