Thread: Trick Your Brain Into Feeling Full

I read an article from MedIndia and I find it very useful. These tips aren't new and you probably heard it many times before. But I will share it anyway:

Eating low calorie fruits like apples and banana can help you shed pounds. This is according to the article from MedIndia titled "Tricking the Brain into Feeling Full". Here's a quote from the article:

Food items such as apples contain a high percentage of air and when digested in the stomach, produces a hormone known as GLP-1. This hormone sends a satiety signal to the brain which means that your stomach is satisfied even when the amount eaten is less than what you normally eat.

According to studies, when being distracted (sitting in front of computer, watching TV or eating with friends, we eat 70% more than usual. In times like this, it best to eat more fruits and vegetables to help us feel satiated.

Cool! i'll do that too... has anyone tried a banana-apple smoothie? I made on yesterday.. It was okay I guess.. hahaha

That's true..Apples and banana are a good choice of snack.. I'm planning to fill my fridge with fruits again this week.
