Top 5 Diet Foods To Satisfy Your Hunger
\nWhen Following A Fat Loss Diet.<\/strong><\/font><\/center><\/p>\n

All bodybuilders share one thing in common. They need to eat a lot of food when trying to gain muscle mass<\/a>, and they need to reduce the amount of food they eat when losing weight. Of course your body type<\/a> and activity level play a vital role in the amounts you need to eat, but you get the idea. <\/p>\n

Our bodies are a funny thing, and our minds are evil. When I’m trying to gain weight, and eat more food, I often feel full quick. That’s when supplements come in handy such as protein shakes, or carbohydrate supplements, to help increase calorie intake.<\/p>\n

However when I’m cutting for a bodybuilding contest, I find myself hungry all the time. When your body is used to a certain calorie intake, from your “bulking” phase, and you begin dropping your total calories (usually by dropping carbohydrates gradually), you’re going to feel more hungry.<\/p>\n

Couple this with increased energy output from doing more cardio activity, and you’ll find yourself looking for foods that are high in volume and low in calories so you can eat more to satisfy your hunger, while still keeping your caloric intake low.<\/p>\n

As I mention on my supplement website<\/a>, supplements are useful, however diet is key in making progress towards your fitness goals. Supplements will not fill you as much as real food.<\/p>\n

Here are my top 5 tips to feel fuller, while on restricted calories.<\/p>\n


\nTip #1 – Eat More Cauliflower<\/font><\/b><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n
\nThis thing is like a magic diet food.
\nIn 100 grams of Cauliflower you’ll get…<\/p>\n

Energy 104 kJ (25 kcal)
\nCarbohydrates 5 grams
\nSugars 1.9 grams
\nDietary fiber 2 grams
\nFat 0.3 grams
\nProtein 1.9 grams\n<\/td>\n

\n\"Cauliflower\"\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Vitamins Thiamine (B1) (4%) 0.05 mg Riboflavin (B2) (5%) 0.06 mg Niacin (B3) (3%) 0.507 mg Pantothenic acid (B5) (13%) 0.667 mg Vitamin B6 (14%) 0.184 mg Folate (B9) (14%) 57 \u03bcg Vitamin C (58%) 48.2 mg Vitamin E (1%) 0.08 mg Vitamin K (15%) 15.5 \u03bcg Trace metals Calcium (2%) 22 mg Iron (3%) 0.42 mg Magnesium (4%) 15 mg Manganese (7%) 0.155 mg Phosphorus (6%) 44 mg Potassium (6%) 299 mg Sodium (2%) 30 mg Zinc (3%) 0.27 mg Other constituents Water 92 g<\/p>\n

Quite the list eh? The beauty about cauliflower is that it can be used as a rice substitute, a mashed potato substitute, or even a pizza base. By chopping up your cauliflower, or throwing it in a food processor, then dry frying it in a pan, you can create a low calorie \/ low carb rice \/ potato substitution. It’s perfect for adding volume to your meals, or to kill your hunger late in the evening.<\/p>\n


\nTip #2 – Low Calorie Dessert – Sugar Free Jelly!<\/font><\/b><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n
\nI love this stuff. I don’t even count the calories in this thing. Now I’m no scientist, but I’m pretty sure you’d burn more calories just eating sugar free jelly than what it actually contains.<\/p>\n

If you’re following a low carb diet, or carb cycling, then make sure to always have a sachet or 2 of this set ready in the fridge.\n<\/td>\n

\n\"Sugar\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

When you are dieting you might make it until about 8pm feeling good, and then all of a sudden your hunger creeps up on you. A bowl of sugar free jelly will kill those sugar cravings you have, as it tastes quite fruity, along with making you feel full due to how much water volume it contains.<\/p>\n

Couple this with a protein shake and you’ve got yourself a low carb meal that you can eat it whenever you feel yourself getting hungry.<\/p>\n


\nTip #3 – Just Add Mushrooms<\/font><\/b><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n
\nI have mushrooms all the time with eggs. Whether I’m scrambling them, or making an omelet, mushrooms are one of the foods I don’t even count calories on. (FYI though \u2013 the supermarket brand of frozen mushrooms I get do contain 12 calories per 100 grams)<\/p>\n

By adding mushrooms into your eggs, or as a side dish to any meal, it gives you a lot more food volume to eat, without racking up the calories.\n<\/td>\n

\n\"mushrooms\"\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

If you’re having steak, or any kind of grilled meat, you can’t beat adding pan fried mushrooms and onions on top to let the juices of the meat come onto the mushrooms for added taste.<\/p>\n
