If you were to make a habit out of consuming filling foods primarily vs. empty calories, think of how much more satisfied you’d be and how much more likely your weight could be maintained.
I understand it’s much easier to say this than acting upon it if you don’t fully understand what a comprehensive “filling foods” list looks like.
Here are 16 filling foods ideas to get you started
- Watermelon
- Apples
- Grapes
- (Really all fruits)
- Oatmeal
- Fish
- Eggs
- Lean Meats
- (Really protein in general)
- Air-popped popcorn
- Water
- Green vegetables: broccoli, spinach, lettuce, bok Choy
- (Really all vegetables)
- Soup, make it broth based
- Quinoa
- Rice
Tonight for dinner Ryan and I had cod with a mango-mint salsa and steamed Brussels sprouts with sea salt, basil and olive oil. All of those foods are filling and fantastic!And absolutely fantastic! It’s definitely a habit I can adopt for life!

You will heal. I will help.
Great list. I’m on the 4 hour body plan and missing apples and oatmeal! While it may be working for weight loss, I don’t see it as sustainable. Like you say, they have to be habits we can adopt for life.
Yeah, I can’t cut out foods unless I know I’m intolerant to them. I’ve just realized that does not work for me anymore!
