Be Pro Protein

Fiber is bulky and fills the stomach, while protein goes to work on sending those "stop eating!" messages to your brain. Incidentally, protein is great brain fuel - neurons are made of fat but communicate using proteins. Hormones and enzymes all over the body are made of and powered by proteins. On the other hand, simple carbohydrates - while a good source to feed your brain -- can leave you feeling tired and sluggish. Beans seem to be the perfect food when you're trying to combine the two: they're high in protein and fiber, plus they make an economical choice. Try low-fat dairy products, and limit your red meat choices to one to two servings per week.
