The 10 Most Filling Foods for Weight Loss
If you were to describe The Perfect Food, it might go something like this: healthful, delicious, bigger than a morsel and filling enough to fight hunger for hours. “Foods that promote satiety”—a feeling of lasting fullness—”do exist,” insists David Katz, MD, founder of the Yale University Prevention Research Center.  read more

TOPFIT says:  Just remember that when it comes to yogurt and oatmeal it means plain, unflavored and unsweetened (and NOT instant oatmeal).....you can add fruit to flavor and sweeten it.  As for potatoes, always eat the skin, not just when you want to "feel even fuller".  And, when it comes to yogurt, don't get all caught up in the greek yogurt fad unless you truly like it better AND can afford it.....regular yogurt still has tons of health benefits and fits perfectly into most people's nutrition plan.

What foods have you found that provide you with few calories but promote satiety?


TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Back Workout and Heavy Bag
I had a lot of projects to work on today, but I still made time for a workout of weighted pullups, DB rows, chinups, and hanging scapular depression/retraction.  Later I went back out into the gym for a 30 min heavy bag workout.

About Your Trainer

Medford, OR, United States
Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
