HOOK
Ever finish a meal and feel hungry again an hour later? The problem may not be willpower — it may be what’s on your plate.

KEY POINT 1
First, build around protein. Foods like eggs, Greek yogurt, chicken, tofu, beans, and fish help you feel fuller longer than a meal made mostly of refined carbs.

KEY POINT 2
Next, add fiber-rich foods. Vegetables, fruit, beans, and whole grains slow digestion and help meals feel more satisfying — without adding a lot of calories.

KEY POINT 3
Then, don’t skip healthy fats. A little avocado, olive oil, nuts, or seeds can make a meal more filling and help you stay satisfied longer.

KEY POINT 4
Try this simple formula: half your plate non-starchy veggies, one-quarter protein, one-quarter high-fiber carbs, plus a small serving of healthy fat. It’s not a diet trick — it’s a structure that helps control hunger.
