153- That's how many fewer calories women consumed when they ate pasta with extra beggies added into the sauce, Penn state researchers say. Fiber-rich vegtables have a low calorie density, so they fill your plate (and belly!) without packing in calories.
Surprising Way To Kick Cravings- A daily dose of cardio doesn't just blast off fat-it may also help rein in your appetite. That's right, research in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that women who viewed pictures of food right after a 45-minute morning run were less hungry (based on brain-wave measurements) that when they viewed the photos on rest days. So contrary to populaar belief, exercise doesn't necessarily make us hungrier. "Our attention to food-related information changes immediately following exercise." says Michael Larson, PhD, a study author and assistant professor at Brigham Young University. Why? Working out may cause fluctuations in hunger hormones, decreasing the appetite-stimuliting ghrelin and increasing the feel-full hormone PYY. Simply put: If you want to curb calories, lace up your sneakers.
