Mix Your Meals

Always mix protein, carbs, and fat when you eat.

You need the blend to fuel your body and stay satiated. Whenever you have one group alone, you're more likely to feel hungrier sooner and consume more food. And don't fear healthy fats. They'll take longer to break down in the gut, so you'll feel fuller longer and will end up consuming less calories.

Instead of spooning fat-free yogurt, for example, choose low-fat. Stir-fry veggies in olive oil, or spread peanut butter on a bagel.
