items contain about 90 to 95% water, so you can eat a lot of these and they will

fill you up without adding on the pounds.

more sugar. Processed and canned fruits also do not have as much fiber as fresh fruits.

instinct; people eat when they know their body really needs it. Don't be an

impulse eater.

pangs if you are having them. Carrots are great because they satisfy hunger

and they are packed with nutrients.

baked. Fried foods are immersed in fat and oil. Even after the excess has oil has

been drained away, there is still oil absorbed into the food item itself.

egg intake to three a week.

but preferably five small meals. This will keep you from getting hungry during the

day and overeating out of starvation.
