6 Foods that can help you eat less

In a world of processed foods, nutritionist Mark Hewett from Gains Nutrition says there is an easy way to take back control – and it's not about counting calories or killing half to death in the gym, the US media New York Post writes.

According to Hewett, it is crucial to understand what drives hunger if you want to make better choices. Many focus solely on willpower and overlook important factors such as the glycemic index of foods (GI).

This number that you can easily look up for any food tells you how it affects your blood sugar – and how quickly your so -called 'cravings' return after a meal.

Hewett explains that prioritization of low -gi foods can be the fastest and easiest way to learn how to control your appetite naturally, which is vital if one has a desire to lose weight.

« Most people focus on calories, but research shows that the way foods affect blood sugar can be just as important to manage hunger, » he says.

« Foods with a low glycemic index (55 or less) are digested and absorbed more slowly, giving a more even change in blood sugar instead of strong fluctuations. It helps regulate appetite, keep you saturated longer and reduce cravings naturally. »
