Lose Weight Without Being Hungry
When you're cutting back on calories in order to lose weight, you may struggle with feeling hungry. Your best defense is to choose foods that have a high Fullness Factor(TM). These are foods that fill you up with fewer calories.
The Fulless Factor rates foods on a scale from 0 to 5, with 5 being the most filling per calorie and 1 being the least. For example, potato chips have a fullness factor of 1.2. A baked potato on the other hand has a fullness factor of 2.5. That means that you're probably going to feel a lot more full if you eat 200 calories worth of baked potato than you will if you eat 200 calories worth of potato chips!
The Fullness Factor is a tool you'll only find on NutritionData.com. You'll see it listed on the nutrition facts page for every food. Nutrition Data even calculates the fullness factor of your recipes and mealplans!
Look for the Fullness Factor on the Nutritional Target Map
Tip: To find foods with a higher Fullness Factor, go to the Food Category Explorer and click on "Show me better choices for weight loss."

1 There seems to be a lot of comment spamming going on here. 2 There seems to be a direct relationship between the amount of water and dietary fiber in a particular food product and the product's fullness factor. The amount of carbohydrates and fats appear to make a food less filling, although that could be due to the lesser size of the portion. Good article all in all.
3 Great site! It has been an invaluable tool for me in managing my type 2 diabetes and weight loss program.

Thanks for the post really interesting information. I always find that I feel a lot fuller after eating some fresh fruit as opposed to chocolate bars or potato chips.

Me again Manjula! If your height is 5.3 feet (i.e., 161.5 cm), then your BMI is 25.5. To find out what that means for you, consult the following article: http://weightloss.suite101.com/article.cfm/how_to_find_your_ideal_weight
Also, if you want to feel "full", you need to suppress the appetite centers in the brain. Check out Myth #4 in http://weight-loss-motivators.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_right_way_to_lose_weight

Manjula, your doctor is correct that to lose weight you need to reduce the amount of carbohydrate that you eat. When I cut down on carbs, my BMI went from 24.3 to 19.2! To find out what not to eat, check out the following article: http://proteins-carb-fats.suite101.com/article.cfm/what_not_to_eat
Good luck!
