I was wondering if some of you could give me some suggestions on natural ways to curb the appetite. I'm not talking drugs or herbs or anything like that. But aren't there certain foods that make you feel fuller longer? I eat oatmeal for breakfast and that seems to work, but I can't eat oatmeal for every single meal. I'm most often "snacky" at night. I know part of that is psychological, so I'll fix myself a cup of tea and often that works. But lately it's not working and I snack all evening and never feel satisfied.
As an example of a typical dinner for me, I eat steamed veggies (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower), brown or jasmine rice (cooked in chicken broth for extra flavor, sometimes with toasted slivered almonds added), and sometimes a small bit of grilled boneless skinless chicken breast. Lately, I've been eating out a bit more for dinner due to a temporary change in living circumstances, but if I cook at home it's almost always the above menu.
Sometimes I'll have whole wheat bread toasted with peanut butter on it, and that seems to help, but I'm not sure that's the healthiest snack in the world.
Thanks in advance for some advice.
