4. Add Fiber-rich Foods to your Diet
Apart from filling your diet with proteins, it is also recommended to add fiber-rich food on the plate. Just like proteins. Fiber foods are known for their ability to give you’re the feeling of satisfaction and being filled up just after a moderate consumption.
5. Drink Water Regularly
Instead of consuming a bottle of coke every other minute, it is best advised to drink a cup or bottle of water instead. The trick to fighting obesity with water is to see that you drink at least two full cups of water before each meal; when you do this, you will be filled up even before you start eating.
