Just a handful is all you really need. Almonds are rich in antioxidants, vitamin E and magnesium. All three are proven to make your stomach feel fuller, according to the 2006 Obesity Society Annual Scientific Meeting.
5. Avocadoes
These bad boys are not only perfect for the guacamole dip you’ll be serving at this year’s holiday party, they’re also great for suppressing your hunger. The fiber and monounsaturated fat in avocadoes are enough to give you that full feeling.
6. Dark leafy vegetables
You can’t go wrong with spinach, broccoli, turnip greens, kale and cabbage, just to name a few. Because these veggies are high in water and fiber, the body takes longer to digest them, keeping hunger at bay.
7. Grapefruit
The properties in grapefruit help to regulate your insulin levels after meals. The result? You’re not starving throughout the day.
