Hi, this is Anita from Reluctant Low
0:08
Carb Life where we like to talk a lot
0:10
about the trifecta of health which is
0:12
about eating foods that are fresh, foods
0:15
that help you feel full or satiety and
0:18
fitness. And today I want to talk a
0:20
little bit about satiety. And I want to
0:22
talk to you about some foods that are
0:24
high in satiety, which satiety, you
0:26
know, essentially means that foods that
0:29
provide a feeling of fullness and
0:30
satisfaction
0:32
long after eating. You know, if you've
0:35
ever eaten a meal that's been high in
0:36
like carbs or high in allprocessed foods
0:39
and then, you know, you're like really
0:41
stuffed and then an hour or two later
0:43
you're like, I am so hungry. You know,
0:46
that's because the food that you ate was
0:48
not a high satiety food. You know,
0:51
typically a high satiety food is rich in
0:53
protein, fiber, healthy fats, and which
0:56
slows down digestion and keeps hunger at
0:58
bay. So, that is one reason why we're
1:01
great believer in choosing foods that
1:02
can help with satiety. So, you know,
1:05
satiety is very much a part of any type
1:07
of low carb or any type of healthy diet
1:10
actually because the idea is you want to
1:12
be able to, you know, eat food that will
1:14
make you feel full longer. And so then
1:17
you just naturally don't eat as much
1:18
because you're not hungry or you're not
1:20
grabbing snack that's not good for you
1:23
because you're essentially not hungry.
1:25
So, let's talk about some foods that are
1:26
high in satiety that you know you can
1:28
find at your grocery store that are good
1:30
for you. One of them is eggs. You know,
1:33
eggs is a great powerhouse of protein
1:35
and healthy fats. They make them
1:37
incredibly filling, and they're
1:39
versatile and can be prepared in a lot
1:41
of different ways. So, if you don't like
1:42
your eggs boiled, you know, you can um
1:45
have them scrambled, you can have them
1:46
poached, and all different kinds of
1:48
ways.
1:50
Avocados is another one. It's a rich in
1:53
um healthy fats and it's uh fiber and
1:57
which can give you this feeling of
1:59
fullness. So avocados, you can, you
2:01
know, use them in salads, mash them for
2:03
guacamole or blend them in a smoothie.
2:06
They'll add like some cream to a
2:08
smoothie. Greek yogurt. And when I'm
2:10
talking about yogurt here, I'm talking
2:11
about Greek yogurt, which is not
2:13
sweetened. You know, Greek yogurt is of
2:15
course another great food for satiety.
2:18
It's low in carbohydrates. It makes an
2:20
excellent choice. And you can add things
2:23
on top of it to make it, you know, add
2:25
berries on top of it. You can even add
2:27
your own sweeteners on top of if you
2:28
want it to be a little bit sweet and
2:30
that's far better for you than if you
2:32
buy the sweetened um type of yogurt.
2:34
Nuts and seeds is another one that they
2:37
can have a lot of, you know, great
2:38
healthy uh fats and fiber in them and
2:42
they can be good for you. You know,
2:43
almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, lean
2:46
meats, you know, chicken, turkey, beef
2:49
are all rich in proteins and they can
2:52
actually give you some satiety for quite
2:54
some time. Fish and seafood also can.
2:57
They're an excellent source of protein.
3:00
I love a gr a nice a nice grilled
3:02
salmon. Uh tuna is always very good to
3:04
eat. Those are all things which can help
3:07
give you more satiety.
3:10
Cottage cheese is a great one. Cottage
3:12
cheese can be used in many different
3:14
ways. You can even put into smoothies.
3:16
You can eat it with um fruits and
3:18
vegetables. You can use it for toppings
3:20
for salads. There's lots of different
3:22
ways that you can use cottage cheese.
3:24
All kinds of leafy greens. You talk, you
3:26
think about spinach, kale, Swiss chard
3:28
are all low in calories but high in
3:31
fiber, which can help keep you full.
3:33
Chia seeds is another great one. They're
3:36
high in fiber but expand in the stomach,
3:38
so they promote a feeling of fullness.
3:40
Berries. Berries are also great. They're
3:43
like strawberries, blueberries,
3:45
raspberries. They're low in carbs and
3:47
high in fiber, making them um, you know,
3:49
make them a sweet and a really great
3:51
option. And here's again where you could
3:52
use b fresh berries, stick them in some
3:55
yogurt is a great meal. Now you don't
3:58
have to go completely unsatisfied, you
4:00
know, to to do on low carb. Dark
4:02
chocolate, you know, is also can have
4:04
some healthy snack healthy fats to it.
4:06
We talk about dark chocolate, we talk
4:08
about over 70%
4:10
and so, you know, it can have some great
4:12
ant antioxidants. So, you know, just a
4:14
little square of dark chocolate every
4:15
day can actually be very good for you.
4:18
You know, just small piece of chocolate.
4:20
Olives are great things like, you know,
4:22
even olive oil as a healthy fat or or
4:25
olives themselves.
4:26
Cheese, you know, cheese can be rich in
4:29
fat and protein, make it filling and
4:30
flavorful. You can use it as part of a
4:33
salad. I I love, you know, I love feta
4:36
cheese on my salad. You know, you could
4:38
put in omelets, you can put it, you
4:40
know, topping for vegetables. Broccoli
4:42
is also another one of those, you know,
4:44
foods that has, you know, high satiety
4:46
to it. you know, high in fiber, low in
4:48
calories, and it makes it an excellent
4:50
choice for fullness. Cauliflower does
4:53
too. You know, uh, a lot of times I make
4:56
a cauliflower mash, or you can make
4:58
cauliflower rice, which also is a great
5:01
substitute for regular rice, but, you
5:04
know, cauliflower can be used to make
5:06
pizza crusts. You can make mash, you
5:09
know, mashed potatoes with it or mashed
5:11
cauliflower, you know, added soups and
5:13
stews and it adds volume and nutrition.
5:16
And so cauliflower is also another one
5:18
of these great foods that you can use.
5:20
So you there's different ways that you
5:22
can incorporate, you know, these type of
5:24
foods into your meal or your meal plan.
5:27
One would be to plan your meals. You
5:29
know, try to have a variety of high
5:32
satiety foods in your meal to make a
5:34
balanced meal.
5:36
You know, focus on protein. Make sure
5:37
you get enough protein. This is, you
5:39
know, protein is extremely important,
5:42
you know, and add in there some healthy
5:43
fats. Have some healthy fats like
5:45
avocados, nuts, um, olive oils to
5:48
enhance flavor. Include fiber. Have some
5:50
fiber. Choose fiber richch vegetables
5:53
and seeds that digestion. You know,
5:55
experiment with different recipes.
5:57
Maybe, like I said, you know, instead of
5:59
making a mashed potatoes, make a
6:00
cauliflower mash. Or if you don't really
6:02
like that, maybe mix a little bit of
6:04
potato and cauliflower together. Maybe
6:06
you'll have more of the consistency you
6:07
like. Whatever you can do to sort of
6:09
change things up to make it better for
6:11
you then that you will overall be
6:13
healthier because of that. You can, you
6:16
know, so with a little bit of creativity
6:17
and some planning, you can, you know,
6:19
make sure that you're having foods that
6:21
will be satisfying and can be healthy
6:24
and to be low carb uh foods. Satiety is
6:27
sort of the new way to sort of look at,
6:29
you know, things for diet now. There's a
6:31
lot of people that that look at satiety
6:33
and say satiety is one of the most
6:35
important things that we can have in our
6:36
diet. And part of the reason why I
6:38
believe that is because we live in such
6:40
a world that has so much multi-processed
6:43
foods. And multi-processed foods just by
6:46
their nature, you know, they're
6:47
basically foods that when you look on
6:49
the back of the package and there's so
6:50
many ingredients in there that you don't
6:54
recognize the ingredients that you you
6:57
really do not recognize all the
6:59
ingredients there. If you're eating a
7:00
lot of multi-processed foods then you
7:02
know you may feel full right after you
7:04
eat but then shortly within a very short
7:07
period of time you'll start feeling
7:09
hungry again. That is what allocessed
7:12
food does is it makes you feel hungry
7:14
because it's satiety is not there when
7:17
compared to eating like fresh fruits,
7:19
vegetables,
7:21
uh fresh meat and proteins and you know
7:24
even eating eggs other things like that
7:26
you will feel full longer.
7:29
So that is why high satiety eating keeps
7:33
you feeling full longer and helps you
7:34
resist the temptation to snack on
7:37
unhealthy options. Many of these foods
7:40
are easily available, you know, at a
7:42
local grocery store or you can go to a
7:44
farmers market. You can, you know, find
7:46
them in in many different places. So,
7:49
you know, there you can actually find
7:50
them. But the problem is that we are so
7:52
used to, you know, wanting to have
7:54
things that are convenient. So people
7:55
just offer convenience. I want to be
7:57
able to just open up a package and just
7:59
heat it up and eat it. But if you can,
8:02
you know, get yourself to start thinking
8:04
this way and to start thinking about
8:06
eating foods that will help you feel
8:07
full longer, then in the long run, you
8:09
will feel healthier and you won't get
8:11
hungry as much either. And it'll be a
8:13
lot of added benefits for like your
8:15
blood sugar level and you know, other
8:17
things like that. and you just will find
8:19
that you won't be eating as much as you
8:21
normally feel like you need to eat
8:23
because you'll be eating foods that keep
8:25
you satisfied. I've written a blog post
8:27
on this called top 15 high satiety foods
8:30
to keep you full found in your local
8:32
grocery store. We will put a link in the
8:34
description below if you'd like to read
8:36
more about that and to be able to
8:38
understand more about this. We hope that
8:40
you will join with us on this vision or
8:43
this quest that we have to be able to

have people understand that it's a
8:47
trifecta of health. It's about eating

full longer and about fitness. You know,
8:54
we realize that you won't be perfect all
8:55
the time. There'll be times that you
8:57
will eat all type processed foods. It's
8:58
just it's it's part of the way we live
9:00
today that you know, we live in those
9:02
this world that has a lot of
9:03
multi-processed foods. But if you can
9:05

satiety and also make fitness as part of
