"I don't feel full when I try to eat healthy."

  • Choose low-calorie, high-fiber foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to feel full.
  • Adding healthy fats and protein to your breakfast will keep you feeling full throughout the day.
  • Changes in diet sometimes take a few weeks to feel normal. Be patient with yourself as you choose healthier foods.
  • Skipping meals confuses your body—eat consistently throughout the day.

At your next meal, eat slowly and enjoy. You'll feel more satisfied than when you rush.
