High Satiety Foods
These foods are high in fiber and water, so they fill up your stomach and leave you satisfied without making you consume extra calories and fat. Tasty high satiety foods include chickpeas, broccoli, raspberries, and more. For a great high satiety recipe, try this green bean hummus, which uses two high satiety foods (green beans and chickpeas).
Chewy Foods
These foods are great for slow eating because they require a lot of work on your part and naturally slow you down! Lean meats, celery, and raw pears are healthy chewy foods that will slow you down a bit.
