Healthy Foods For Your Appetite

Whether you are trying to lose weight or you simply want to eat healthier, keeping hunger and cravings under control is essential to reaching this goal. To help you reach this goal quicker, Jumia Food, Nigeria’s no 1 food ordering platform, shares some healthy foods to control your appetite.

Yoghurt

Yoghurt’s thick, creamy texture helps to make the body feel full. You can add fruit or nuts to boost its satisfying benefits.

Water

Although water passes through the digestive system very quickly, it can still help decrease your appetite. Often, some people mistake thirst for hunger. Drinking water and staying hydrated throughout the day helps you control your appetite.

Almonds

Almonds are another great source of healthy fats and make for a great snack between meals. Note that the hunger-reducing effects of nuts tend to take about half an hour before you feel them, so eat them before you reach the point of being extremely hungry, or you’ll be tempted to eat more than you need.

Avocados

Avocados get their creamy texture from healthy fats, which take a long time for the body to digest and therefore, can help suppress your cravings. They’re also an excellent source of fibre, which forms a thick gel as it travels through the gut, slowing digestion.

Legumes

Legumes that include beans and peas are an excellent vegetarian source of protein that can be enjoyed in soups, salad and more. They are high in fibre which cannot be immediately digested by the bodies.

Meat

The high protein and fat content in meat means that it is digested more slowly than most foods. Meat also takes longer to chew, which also contributes to feeling full. To many, a meal is not complete without meat so it may make you feel fuller.
