If you eat tons of refined carbs such as bagels, pasta, pizza, crackers, and baked goods, it's no wonder you're feeling hungry soon after! Registered dietitian Leslie Langevin, MS, RD, CD, of Whole Health Nutrition, told POPSUGAR to go for complex carbs. "They break down slowly in the body because of their high fibre content and help to keep blood sugar levels steady since they are digested slower," Leslie said. "They're also richer in nutrients than simple carbohydrates."
"Including some dense, slow-digesting carbs with your meals can be way more satisfying than having a meal of only protein and veggies," Marci said. Choose beans, sweet potatoes, quinoa, oats, wild rice, lentils, apples, raspberries, and blackberries. If you want bread and pasta, go for whole wheat.
