Feel Full with the Least Amount of Calories

Dr. Fuhrman claims that appetite is controlled by fiber, nutrient density, and calorie density ~ and not by the weight of the food we eat.

He rates foods that make us feel full with the least amount of calories... And no surprise, green vegetables take the gold. In fact, he states that the more of them you eat, the more weight you will lose! He encourages his patients (and readers ;o) to eat at least 1 pound of raw veggies a day; and an additional pound of cooked or frozen green - or non-green nutrient-rich veggies as well. 

Fresh fruits take the silver and legumes take the bronze. 

So don't forget to eat your veggies if you want to shed a few pounds after eating all those Holiday snacks...
