Worse, your body doesn&#8217;t account for them the way it registers solid calories, so you can keep chugging them before your internal &#8220;fullness&#8221; mechanism tells you to stop. Instead, try unsweetened coffee or tea, or flavor your own sparkling water with a slice of lemon or lime, a sprig of fresh mint, or a few raspberries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eat more whole foods.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-4454\" src=\"http:\/\/seragpsych.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/high_protein_salad-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"high_protein_salad\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you eat more unprocessed foods \u2014 such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains \u2014 you&#8217;ll fill yourself up on meals that take a long time to digest. Plus, whole foods are full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber and tend to be lower in salt \u2014 which is better for your blood pressure, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find healthier snacks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-4458\" src=\"http:\/\/seragpsych.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salad_serving-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"salad_serving\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Snack time is many people&#8217;s downfall \u2014 but you don&#8217;t have to skip it as long as you snack wisely. Try carrot sticks as a sweet, crunchy alternative to crackers or potato chips, or air-popped popcorn (provided you skip the butter and salt and season it with your favorite spices instead). For a satisfying blend of carbs and protein, try a dollop of sunflower seed butter on apple slices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just weight control can save you from stroke , new studies confirm.
