The Satiating Diet

Over the years, nutritionists have been suggesting several methods for people to lose weight effectively. But as we know, it depends on various factors including genetics, our physical and physiological composition, and different bodily responses.

Recently, researchers say that there are certain foods that prove to be effective in helping us lose weight or burn fat. But, one caveat to this is that simply eating these types of food won't be the only thing you need to do to get a slimmer figure. In any case, these foods can help induce weight loss.

The answer, it turns out, may be a diet constructed from healthy foods that are especially satiating; that is, foods that create feelings of fullness and satisfaction. Nutrition researchers have discovered many such foods, which improve appetite control and decrease food intake, conditions necessary for sustained weight loss.

A satiating diet includes foods that are high in protein (such as fish),; high in fiber (whole grains, for example) and high in fruits and vegetables. It contains healthy fats, such as the polyunsaturated fats found in avocados, and includes dairy products such as yogurt. Perhaps surprisingly, it might also include capsaicin, the substance that makes jalapenos and other peppers so hot.
