When I finish sharing all these fat-fighting tips from recent research studies, I will share some recipes that incorporate these wonder foods. In the meantime, here are more fascinating food tidbits.
8. Many studies have indicated that fiber curbs one’s appetite. Researchers at the University of Minnesota came up with a clever way to test this theory. They gave 14 subjects a bowl of cereal before turning them loose on a breakfast buffet. Those who had eaten the high-fiber cereals (Fiber One or Kellogg’s All Bran with Extra Fiber) ate significantly fewer calories at the buffet.
9. More on fiber – don’t just think fiber cereal. The pectin fiber found in fruits, is not just filling, it also lowers blood sugar levels to keep appetite in check. In a 12-week Brazilian study, dieters who ate three small pears or apples a day lost more weight than women on the same diet who substituted three oatmeal cookies of equal calories for their fiber.
10. Another surprise appetite suppressant – capsaicin which is found in chili peppers. Dutch researchers gave people tomato juice before breakfast and lunch. Half the subjects drank the juice spiked with chili powder and the other half drank it plain. Those who drank the spicy version consumed 16% fewer calories on average. Bloody Mary, here I come!
