Healthy Eating Tip of the Month
Whole-foods: a smarter strategy to satisfy your hunger
When it comes to satisfying your appetite, most liquid calories just don’t cut it. Enjoying whole foods, in general, is going to help keep you better nourished and keep your appetite in check. The best part — you’re less likely to overeat when you choose whole foods, without even thinking about it!
Liquid calories in just about any form — soda, juice or alcohol for example — are often “forgotten” calories. Typically the calories in these types of drinks leave you less satisfied than calories from actual food, which means they don't really help stave off your hunger cravings for very long.
