LEGUMES FOR SATIETY

Legumes which include beans, lentils, peas are good for you. According to nutritionist it should go without saying that a diet geared towards quashing hunger and overeating should include a daily dose of them. Researchers at the University of Toronto did a review of some studies and confirmed that beans and their counterparts can bolster satiety by up to 31%.  It is suggested one eat a veggie-laced bean salad to take advantage of the legumes' fiber and protein hunger-fighting effect. Research shows plant-based protein can be just as effective at bolstering satiety and prompting weight loss as does animal-based protein.
