Salads are a good way of getting a nutritious, fiber filled meal. Fill up your salad bowl with tomatoes, capsicum, lettuce and cucumber. All these vegetables are low in calories.

Munch on grapes. They are high on sugar but low in fat. It also serves as a great side dish for your lunch!

• Potatoes

No, we are not talking about those chips or fries. Bake them or boil them, potatoes are a great food to satisfy your hunger cravings. Have them mashed and add a little pepper with a dash of lime.

• Cereal

This list would never be complete without high fiber cereal. Oats, muesli, grain! Eat them all up for breakfast. Drench it with skimmed milk.

• Water

Drink lots of it! Water has no calories and it is a great way of silencing your stomach when it’s demanding to be fed!

Use it as dressing for your salad. Or if you are cooking,  use olive oil. The monounsaturated fat is good for your heart and helps you burn calories.
