Healthy, Science-Backed Eating Hacks That Will Transform Your Diet

To Feel Fuller, Eat More Fiber

If you frequently feel hungry, incorporate more fiber into your diet. Researchers know that high-fiber foods help people to feel fuller for longer. High-fat foods, even those with healthy fats, do not increase satiety, according to the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Why does fiber help? According to a 2014 study, fiber releases a molecule called acetate. When acetate enters the bloodstream, it tells the brain to stop eating. Cooking high-fiber meals could help you eat less and learn to balance your portion sizes.
