Foods that are high in fiber are the ones that fill us up quicker and keep us feeling full longer. You can get the fiber that you need from fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. They satisfy our hunger in two ways: by filling our stomachs and by providing essential nutrients to nourish our bodies. If you fill up on these foods, you will be giving your body the fuel that it needs and you will be satisfied with fewer treats.

Happy, healthy holiday tips - Fill up with water-filled foods
Our bodies are accustomed to a certain volume of food, and we tend to eat until we eat enough volume. Studies done at Penn State University have shown that people who begin a meal with a large, low-fat salad or a clear, broth-based soup tend to eat fewer calories than those who don’t have anything before the meal. Use this strategy before a big dinner or a party and have a salad or a cup of soup with lots of veggies before you go. If dinner is at your house, begin with a soup course.
