  • The article explains that foods containing protein, fiber and healthy fats digest more slowly and can prolong fullness.
  • It recommends changing the composition of meals rather than simply telling people who snack frequently to stop snacking.

Some breakfasts leave the stomach rumbling within an hour, while others keep hunger away until lunch. The difference, the article says, is that foods do not suppress hunger equally.

Protein, fiber and healthy fats digest more slowly, which helps people stay full for longer. For those who find themselves constantly snacking during the day, the answer is therefore not simply to stop snacking.

The article recommends making some changes to the menu and provides further guidance on foods that can help keep hunger at bay.
