Indispensable tips
Before telling you some tricks to fool your stomach, you have to do these things every day:
- Before eating, drink a glass or two of water, it will keep you hydrated and you will eat less.
- Avoid the temptation and, if you have craving for sweets, eat healthy snacks that will help you get over it.
Try the best smoothies with less than 300 calories
Very common ingredients for low calorie snacks
- Hummus: it is chickpea puree that you can spread on a slice of pita bread. Moreover, you can put some veggies (raw or cooked) in a dish to dip them in the hummus. For instance, you can use carrot, cucumber, courgette, tomato, etc.
- Boiled egg: it is a super healthy snack, combine it with sweet pepper or curry and you will not feel hungry anymore.
- Cereals and legumes: this is a great blend that provides a healthy and light protein.
- Tomato: it is an anticancer food. That is why we suggest to add it to your salads or eat it alone. It will provide calories and satiate your appetite.
- Fruit: fruit smoothies are delicious, quick and satiating. But they can become a problem if you drink too many depending on your objective or the calories you need.
What will you achieve with a satiating diet?
A great alternative would be eating 5 meals throughout the day, including these healthy snacks.
Three strong meals and two sandwiches or snacks
You need to find a balance between the intake of protein, fat and carbohydrates
Protein as snack
Nuts or eggs will provide a feeling of satiety that will increase the serotonin. This neurotransmitter will put you in a good mood and you will feel happy too.When it comes to proteins, a low calorie alternative are octopuses which have a meat rich in vitamins and antioxidants. If you steam it, it will provide the energy and a feeling of satiety that we expect from a satiating snack. Lean meats, like chicken, turkey, rabbit, pork or beef…
With little seasoning and grilled could be a very healthy satiating snack. You can eat them mid-morning or in the afternoon, it goes beyond what is “traditional”
Vegetables as snacks
Green leaf vegetables provide vitamins and minerals that will prevent heart diseases and they also have anticancer properties. Spinach stock is full of vitamin A and C, as well as iron, magnesium and folic acid. Moreover, its calorie intake is minimal, at least 22 per 100 grams.
We also have carrots whose components are great for the sight. In fact, it is rich in beta-carotenes, iron, vitamin C and E. You can eat it alone, raw or boiled, add it to a salad or use it to cook creams. If you want to satiate your appetite eating few calories, use mushrooms since they have a high fiber content.
Fruit as snack
Peach is very juice, it is full of fiber and made up of more than an 80% of water. This is perfect for a satiating snack, since it is also nutritious and diuretic, antioxidant and it strengthens the defenses.
On the other hand, we have oranges which provide vitamin C, energy and almost zero calories. Moreover, they have fiber that will help us regulate our intestinal transit. Melon is also a cleansing and dietary fruit with an 80% of water.
Finally, we want to mention avocados which are regarded as a superfood due to their fatty acids that increase the good cholesterol. In addition, it provides vitamin B and magnesium.
Do not fear healthy fats, they are fundamental specially for women in order to keep a good hormone balance
Dates are satiating snacks too. You may exceed more than 200 calories if you eat 100 grams. But it is a product that will satiate your appetite and the craving for sweets. However, you should eat them in small amounts.
