Why Stay Fuller for longer?
Today's busy lifestyles often challenge our best intentions for healthy eating. Skipping breakfast or eating on the go can leave you feeling hungry, making it more likely that you reach for that calorie-laden snack later in the day. The result? A bit of guilt, as well as feeling sluggish and bloated. So, what can be done?
Studies show that certain foods make us feel fuller for longer after meals. For example, foods high in protein or fibre (roughage) deliver a slower release of energy into the body, curbing hunger and appetite in the short-term. So, staying fuller for longer after lunch can help you turn down that extra biscuit and reach for the fruit instead, which is good news if you're trying to watch your weight or just eat more healthily.

- Fight the post-lunch dip with a high carb snack, such as a banana, biscuits with low fat cream cheese or a slice of wholegrain toast and honey.
- Never go food shopping on an empty stomach. Top up with a cereal bar or a handful of dried apricots before setting food in the supermarket.
- Double up on veg at your evening meal to boost fibre levels.
- Round off your evening with a bit of sweetness by choosing yogurt with fruit puree, or a tasty rice pudding.
- Aim for healthy drinks, such as water, tea, fruit juice, diluting juice or low fat milk.
