Lentils: They have the same effect as oatmeal. Try tossing lentils into your salad or eat them as a side dish to a meal.
Apples or soup: These foods both take up a lot of space because they have so much water, but they have relatively few calories. An apple is a much bulkier food than highly processed food.
Coffee: If you are healthy, you can drink up to four cups of coffee a day. The caffeine acts as an appetite suppressant. Some people get insomnia from caffeine, so have your last cup by 4 p.m.
