new to eating healthy

kate216

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to eating healthy and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on good, healthy, filling foods to eat. I have been trying to eat healthy but the foods I have been eating don't fill me up enough or taste good enough, so then I resort to binge eating.
Any suggestions?!

Great snacks -

Greek yogurt
Berries
Apples
Bananas
Oranges
Tangerines
Nut butters
Sugar snap peas
Baby carrots
Cherry or grape tomatoes
Red (or yellow or orange) bell peppers
Dip all those veggies in hummus
Popcorn (microwave your own in a brown paper bag & season it yourself with a little butter, olive or coconut oil, spices, etc, much healthier than the store bought micro stuff)
Nuts
Raisins

I've been eating better for less then a month but I find I'm not as hungry between meals as much anymore. Protein and complex carb in every meal. Same goes for your snacks. You'll find that will fill you up more so you don't need as much. All the snack ideas everyone has listed are great options. Keep water on hand to sip on. I use Mio or other low calorie additives to add sweetness when I need it.

All non starchy vegetables and low sugar fruits, try eating ten servings of those a day you will be stuffed for very few calories and there is an absolutely huge variety available. Then add in oily fish (every day ideally) or lean meat or eggs at each meal, three portions of reduced fat dairy, other healthy fats little and often (creamed coconut, cocoa, avocados, nuts, seeds, olives). If you are still not full small portions of beans or lentils. Avoid sugar and all white/ refined carbs, anything with many ingredients, limit wheat products because these spike blood sugar and can cause hunger.

Add flavour and texture with the healthy fats listed above, reduced fat hard or soft cheeses, garlic, chilli, dried spice blends, fresh herbs, Lo Salt, natural sweeteners and so on. Basically learn to cook, don't rely on processed foods.
