If the theme song for every diet you've tried would be “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction,” you should keep reading. “One of the biggest challenges when you’re trying to lose weight is combating hunger and the desire to eat,” says Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD, and Health’s contributing nutrition editor. The simple solution: eat filling foods that stick with you. “Foods that contain fiber, protein, and plant-based fat tend to be the most satiating,” Sass says. These nutrients slow down digestion and the absorption of nutrients, a process that helps you feel physically full for longer, and also means no blood sugar or insulin spikes.While you might find some of the research that follows surprising, there are no magic potions or super bars on this list. They’re all nutrient-rich whole foods, which a recent study revealed increase calorie burning by roughly 50% compared to processed foods, adds Sass.

TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Jacksonville Forest Park Hike (#200 trail run/hike in 2014) and Squats
Today I completed my 200th hike/trail run of 2014.
I usually do something crazy like a backwards run up a Table Rock for an occasion like this, but today I took it a bit slower and easier by introducing Mason to the Jacksonville Forest Park trails. He found a dozen different types of mushrooms, learned about moss and ferns, and saw lots of waterfalls.....in addition to many puddles to jump in when we were up on the road.
Afterward I spent about 30 mins in my gym doing BB squats, DB split squats, and jump squats.
