It is not always necessary to starve in order to be able to lose
weight. You can sometimes lose weight by just changing a little bit of
your diet and eating foods which are healthy. Some foods take longer to
eat however, have lesser calories per gram.
The following foods are tasty and also trick your body making you feel satisfied with far less fat and fewer calories:
1. Salads: Prepare salads using tomato, carrot, cabbage, lettuce, cucumber or capsicum. These are all low in calories. You could use curd or lemon as dressing to make your salad tastier. You could also have these raw vegetables in sandwiches. The bread keeps you full but remember not to use cheese, butter or mayonnaise. A coriander and mint chutney can be used as substitute.
2. Grapes: Try eating grapes instead of eating biscuits or a packet of chips when you come back from work. They contain sugar but if you do not overdo them, they will be able to satisfy your hand and mouth movement in the same way with no fat being consumed. In fact, a hundred grams of grapes contains just about 70 calories.

6. Oranges: A lot of times eating fast leads to eating too much. The slower you eat, the easier it becomes for your body to be satisfied. And there is no snack that takes longer than peeling an orange and then sectioning it.
