There are times when we can’t explain our raging appetite, which leads to eating snacks that are high in fat, sugar and calories leading to weight gain. To prevent overeating and binging, many people rely on appetite suppressing drugs to curb hunger and lose weight. Rather than popping pills that may cause unpleasant side effects, why not turn to something safe and healthy such as FOOD!

It may seem contradictory, but there are certain foods that can make you full without loading you with calories. Known as ‘filling food’, here’s a list of 10 extra-satisfying foods that can help keep you full for long hours.

1. Greek Yogurt

Greek Yogurt has twice the protein of the ordinary yogurt and make up 20% of your daily calcium needs. It is also low in sugar. Greek yogurt promotes slow digestion of other carbs and that extra protein does wonders in keeping you fuller longer. You can enjoy it alone or add whole grain cereals or fresh fruits that are low in sugar and rich in fiber.
