Your Herbalife Tip
The Best foods to fill you 
·       Common complaints from clients on a weight-loss programme are that they keep staying hungry!
·       What does it mean to be hungry? Hunger is usually felt first in the stomach – as blood sugar drops, the body releases hormones that stimulate the stomach to contract, and you get hunger pangs.
·       Some people confuse hunger with wanting to eat; this is called an appetite, not hunger!
·       To learn the difference, I ask you to let a moderate amount of hunger to set in – to really recognize the body’s signals that say “time to eat”.
·       Stop eating when you feel comfortable and not stuffed.
·       Add healthier, more filling foods to your daily meals as this will help cure the constant hungry feeling.

Here’s my list of some of the most filling foods you can eat.
________________________________________

 


Fish
·        Fish is one of the most concentrated sources of protein around.
·        Protein is the clear winner when it comes to satisfying hunger. And, since most fish is much lower in fat compared with meat or poultry, you get more protein per bite.
·        Fresh baked or grilled fish is great, but if you’re short on time, don’t overlook canned tuna and salmon, or frozen fish fillets, shrimp and scallops.

Berries
·        High-fibre foods take time to digest, which gives them staying power.
·        While all whole fruits provide some fibre, berries are some of the highest fibre fruits around.
·        One cup of raspberries has a whopping 8 grams of fibre – twice what you’d get in an apple – for only about 65 calories.
·        Frozen berries are always available, and they’re convenient add-ins to protein shakes!
·        You can also thaw them slightly and use to top yogurt or cottage cheese for a filling meal or snack.

Vegetables
·        Vegetables are high on my list of filling foods because they’re full of calorie-free fibre and water – so they fill you up, not out!
·        Broccoli is one of the highest fibre veggies -one cup of chopped cooked broccoli has 6 grams of hunger-busting fibre.
·        Loading up your plate with cooked broccoli will only cost you about 50 calories per cup.

Black Beans
·        Beans provide a one-two punch against hunger – they’re high in fibre and they also pack a fair amount of protein.
·        A half-cup of black beans will give you about 8 grams of protein along with 8 grams of fibre.
·        Navy, pinto and kidney beans all run a very close second. Toss some beans into salads, soups or stews to make them more filling and satisfying.

Quinoa
·        You can get a good amount of fibre from most whole grains – and they hold more water than ‘drier’ grain foods like crackers or pretzels, so they’re more filling.
·        Quinoa stands out because it also has more protein than most grains – about 8 grams per cup.
·        And, unlike barley and brown rice that require long cooking times, quinoa is ready in about 15 minutes.
·        Try it as a side dish, or as the base for a main-dish salad with chopped veggies and grilled chicken added.
ONLY AT LUNCH IF ON A MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME

No-fat Greek style yogurt
·        Most no-fat dairy products are good sources of protein, but Greek-style yogurt is a standout.
·        Since it’s concentrated, a single-serving of no-fat Greek style yogurt can pack nearly twice as much protein as the regular style – as much as 15 grams.
·        Try it for dessert – the protein will fill you up and help curb evening snacking.

Vegetable soup
·        Vegetable soup is low in calories, and since it contains so much water, it’s really filling.
·        Starting a meal with a cup or bowl of broth-based soup often means you’ll be satisfied with a smaller portion of your main meal.
·        A cup of veggie soup makes a great afternoon snack, too.

Improving your health energizes your confidence and understanding that you can do well for yourself.
Self-confidence is worth all the junk food in the world.
