Trying to lose weight? A diet that's heavy on whole foods and plants, such as the Mediterranean diet, can help you reach satiety, so you don't feel deprived.
It also won't slow down your metabolism, so it won't sabotage your plans to shed pounds or maintain a healthy weight.
Some foods are particularly helpful for this, including non-starchy vegetables. Low in calories and loaded with vitamins and minerals, they're also packed with fiber and water, which help you feel fuller.
A good rule of thumb is: If it grows above ground and you can eat it raw, it's probably non-starchy. Reach for cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, salad greens and zucchini.
