3) Fibre- Advantage
Try to include more fibre in your diet. This should include soluble and insoluble fibre for ensuring that the digested food in your intestines absorbs more water. This in turn ensures that the feeling of being full is achieved quicker.
Insoluble fibre is found in leafy salads that also help you limit your food intake naturally. This is because the raw state of most salad ingredients means that you need to chew a lot more. The extra chewing and salivating that accompanies it helps to control the hunger pangs for a few hours.
4) Keep the snacking habit under check
Snacking is perhaps the biggest sin a dieter can commit. To ensure that you stay away from the urge to bite into a chocolate or cookie, keep your mouth busy with sugar-free chewing gum. Try to sip iced or hot herbal teas prepared with a minimal amount of sugar throughout the day. These are low cal aids that help to establish the feeling of feeding yourself without consuming too many calories, preventing the urge to snack.
