It's become a bad habit that Americans don't know when to stop eating and continue doing so until they're stuffed. We tend to forget that it takes about 20 minutes for the body to send signals to the brain telling it that we are full and by the time we realize it, we are in a food coma.
There are certain foods you can add into your foods that will prevent this from happening on a regular basis. There are going to be some days when you want an extra portion of your favorite dish, but for everyday purposes these tips can help your cause.
Check out the foods you should be eating to keep you from putting a little too much on your plate!
Avocado: People are under the impression that avocados are a fatty food that should be eaten with caution. They don't realize there is that this fruit contains the good types of fat we need to remain slim. It also contains protein which keeps you full throughout the day!
Almonds: Instead of reaching for your mid-day granola bar, munch on some almonds. This special nut has lots of monounsaturated fat and protein that it can keep you full until your next meal.
