5 Foods that Keep You Thin

Foods that Keep You Thin
Apples
Apples are a good source
of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber not only contributes to a healthy digestive
system and reduced cholesterol, but it also benefits smart eaters by yielding
no calories while keeping them satisfied.
And there's something else about the fruit that might help you feel full. A study in the journal "Appetite" found that when women added either three apples or three pears to their daily meals, they lost more weight than people who added three oat cookies to their diets -- even though the fruit and the cookies contained the exact same amount of dietary fiber.
Although the reason behind this finding may be a mystery, there is something to be said for the findings. According to Alan Aragon, a nutritionist and author of "Girth Control: The Science of Fat Loss & Muscle Gain," crunchy foods in particular can trick a person into feeling fuller. The act of chewing may send satiety signals to your body, he says, making you think you've eaten more than you really have and keeping hunger at bay.

Almonds
If you're looking for a
tasty midday snack, a handful of almonds are a well-regarded option. A study in
2009 in "The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" found that women
who ate nuts at least two times a week were more successful at keeping weight
off than those who didn't eat this food.
One particular favorite among some nutritionists is almonds, says Aragon. One ounce of this food contains only 167 calories, plus it packs roughly 6 g of protein and 3 g of fiber, both nutrients that can make you feel full. Furthermore, like apples, almonds are crunchy and require a lot of chewing, so they, too, can make you feel like you've eaten more than you actually did and keep you fuller longer.

Salmon
If you're uncertain
about fish, there's no need to fear. Seafood can be part of a healthy diet. And
there's some evidence that the fat in foods such as salmon can boost satiety
levels, says Aragon. For example, a study published in the "International
Journal of Obesity" found that when dieters ate salmon a few times a week,
they lost about two more pounds than those who didn't include seafood in their
meals.
And in spite of the mention of salmon's fat content, the food is relatively low in calories. One 3-oz. serving has just 175 calories. Salmon is a good source of protein as well.

Eggs
There's no doubt that
protein, like fiber, has impressive satiating powers. And while eggs seem to
have a bad reputation in some circles, there can be no contesting their ability
to help keep your weight in check.
Research has shown that eating eggs at breakfast can help you fight weight gain all day long. A study reported in 2008 in the "International Journal of Obesity" found that when dieters ate two eggs for breakfast for five days out of the week, they lost 65 percent more weight than dieters who consumed a bagel in the morning. Although protein is likely to fill you up whenever you eat it, some scientists suspect that having more in the morning can keep you feeling fuller all day long.

Tomatoes
It's true that most
veggies make for great diet fare. Non-starchy vegetables in particular, such as
carrots, celery and spinach, are filled with fiber. Like other foods high in
fiber, they can help keep you feeling satiated.
Plus, they're pretty self-regulating, says Aragon. You can't really overeat with nonstarchy vegetables. After all, how many baby carrots can a person eat without needing to dunk them in some ranch dressing?
So while there are many veggies that can help you stay slim, tomatoes might be a particularly good option because they're so tasty. And, besides, with that whole a-tomato-is-a-vegetable-no-it's-a-fruit argument, you might have forgotten all about eating them. One cup of cooked, red tomatoes contains just 43 calories, but tastes just as delicious as any number of high-calorie foods.
And that's at least half the secret, finding foods that are both healthy and tasty. The good thing is, they do exist. Over time, you'll discover what wholesome, filling foods you prefer, expanding your choices while shrinking your waistline.
