Lose Weight Without Feeling Hungry – The Anti-Hunger Foods

Many people don’t like the idea of going on a diet to lose weight because they think they will have to feel hungry to lose weight. However, a sensible low GI food diet is less likely to make you feel hungry as a diet based on low calories.

An anti-hunger diet is based on a balanced diet containing 55% complex carbohydrates, 20% protein and 25% fat.  An exceptionally low fat diet on the other hand can aggravate hunger making it very difficult to follow.

The key factor on a hunger free diet is that it has lots of carbohydrate foods with a low Glycaemic Index (GI), which measures the rate in which the blood sugar levels rise when a particular food containing carbohydrate is eaten.

A diet based on foods with a low GI rating will help you feel full for longer as they keep the blood sugar levels constant with a long-term release of energy.

Protein and fat should also be eaten as part of a healthy anti-hunger diet, although they are not rated as low GI, they work in the same way.

Foods with low GI rate include:

• Pulses
• Apples
• Dried apricots
• Peaches
• Grapefruit
• Plums
• Cherries
• Avocado
• Courgettes
• Spinach
• Peppers
• Onions
• Mushrooms
• Leafy greens
• Leeks
• Green beans
• Broad beans
• Brussels sprouts
• Mange-tout peas
• Broccoli
• Cauliflowers
• Natural yoghurt
• Milk
• Peanuts
