Dr. Mehmet Oz answered:To feel full earlier, try the following:
1. Soups can be both filling and comforting. Try making a garden or bean soup with low-salt broth and store in portion-sized cups for later.
2. Eat a fiber-filled apple before a meal to help you feel full faster.
3. Savory 'umami' ingredients such as mushrooms, low-sodium soy, asparagus and olives can help you feel full and add an earthy, home-y quality to your healthy-dishes.
4. Eating water-rich foods such as melons, tomatoes and celery can help fill you up without adding too many calories to your day.
5. Foods with healthy fats such as olives, salmon and walnuts help you feel satisfied.
6. Got nuts with nuts. Eating a handful of nuts will help you stay full. Try soaking them in water for a different texture.
7. Go lean with bean protein. Beans are an affordable and healthy alternative to meats and are wonderfully filling.Helpful? 1 person found this helpfulTo feel full earlier, try the following: 1.

Doreen Rodo answered:Here is a list of foods that make you feel fuller, faster:
- Apples-if you have one before your meal, you will likely eat less.
- Lentils and beans are filling so include them in your meals regularly. It is as easy as sprinkling some beans on a salad.
- Nuts-if you eat a handful as a snack, you will find that you are not as hungry.
- Water-drink a full glass before your meal and you will feel fuller.
- Items with fiber also tend to make you fuller, so include whole wheat items in your meal plan regularly.

There are some foods that can help us feel fuller despite being lower in calories and good for weight loss.
- Soups, especially broth-based soups, have been proven to help curb your appetite. When consumed prior to a meal as a first course or pre-meal snack, soup is satisfying enough that you will likely consume less at your meal.
- Other foods that have high water and/or fiber content are also good options to help you feel full on fewer calories. Good choices are fruits, vegetables, and cooked whole grains.
- Protein also has a more long-lasting satisfying effect when compared to carbohydrate or fat. Include modest portions of lean protein sources such as dairy products and legumes throughout the day.
