These foods contain fibers that, in addition to giving a greater sensation of satiety and for a longer period, help in the reduction of fat absorption. They are also rich in B-complex vitamins, which contribute to muscle building.

Invest in fruit: it is rich in vitamins, minerals and water, which contribute to the proper functioning of the organism. As it contains fibers, it contributes to good intestinal functioning and increases satiety. On average, one piece of fruit contains about 70 to 100 kcl. The ideal will be to consume three pieces per day.

Stick to the seeds: consume flaxseed, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, as they are good sources of healthy fat. They help in the elimination of toxins and also have good amount of fibers that facilitate the digestion and withdraw the will to eat.

Control yourself at the table: Follow the tip of putting the cutlery between each time you bring food to your mouth. You should chew thoroughly before swallowing, prepare a single serving of food at a time, take a break in the middle of the meal and use dessert dishes and do not repeat.

Start the meal with a salad/vegetables: the fibers of these foods increase the volume of the meal, contributing to the feeling of satiety.

Always focus on what you are eating: enjoy food and avoid other activities while at the table, such as watching TV, tinkering with your mobile phone, or browsing the internet. This prevents you from eating fast and/or eating badly without being aware of being distracted.
