6 Easy Ways to Curb Hunger So You Can Lose Weight, Straight From a Trainer

This macronutrient metabolizes slowly so it makes you feel full longer. Include healthy unsaturated fats such as salmon, avocado, nuts, and seeds every time you eat — try this avocado and sunflower seed snack.

Another filling macronutrient! Aim to get 0.8 to 1.5 grams of lean protein per pound of bodyweight. What's great about lean proteins like fish, tofu, eggs, or turkey meat is that they help you stay satiated longer, keeping hunger at bay. They also provide you with lots of energy and burn more calories when digested.

Caffeine acts as a natural diet suppressant, so go for green or black tea or black coffee, or add coffee to your protein smoothie.

Veggies are packed with hunger-satiating fibre, so eating more will fill you up and keep you satiated for longer. You can also eat a high volume of them without overdoing it on the calories. Eating one huge salad for a meal once a day and eating veggies every time you eat (meals and snacks) are two ways to up your veggie intake.

Thirst is often mistaken for hunger, so when you feel like you want to eat, drink a huge glass of water, wait 10 minutes, and see how you feel. Often you'll find you aren't hungry anymore. Drinking water throughout the day can also keep your belly full. Aim to drink 80 or more ounces a day.
