Here, according to some diet experts, are other top foods for fighting hunger:
1. Almonds and avocados. These excellent snacks are both high in fat and fiber... A handful of almonds or half an avocado calms the appetite quickly.
2. Green tea. ... this popular healthy beverage contains EGCG, a chemical that has been proven in studies to curb the appetite. Stay away from sugary bottled brands and brew your own green tea from bags or loose-leaf tea.
3. Spicy foods. ....adding spice to your meals may help slow your appetite...
4. Coffee. Just like drinking a glass of water before a meal temporarily signals fullness to your stomach, research shows that coffee works the same way. But coffee also contains caffeine, which boosts metabolism and suppresses appetite... stay away from sweeteners and cream.
5. Fatty fish. Not only are fish like salmon, sardines, and herring rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, they also suppress hunger by altering the body’s level of the hormone leptin. Leptin is the hormone that tells your body that it’s full so you’ll stay sated longer.
6. Lean protein. ... Egg whites, lean turkey slices, or tofu can provide a prolonged sense of fullness without the swings in blood sugar that carbs create.
