Beans: Dried beans contain what is known as “resistant starch," which produces more of a sense of fullness. They also cause a very slow blood sugar rise, helping your metabolism function more evenly and effectively.
Garlic: A member of the allium family, garlic contains glutathione, which helps the liver clear out hormone-disrupting chemicals that can slow the metabolism.
Berries: Berries contain anthocyanins, which studies have found to have metabolism-boosting properties. They also encourage fat cells to release a hormone that reduces inflammation, lowers blood sugar and can reverse insulin and leptin resistance.
Broccoli: Cruciferous vegetables have high fiber and high water content, a combination that helps you feel full and increases your body’s ability to burn fat.
Whole grains: Whole grains like oats and barley are loaded with nutrients and can help control your appetite. The short-chain fatty acids in whole grains stimulate fat cells in our stomachs to release leptin, the satiety hormone. And whole grain fiber also helps us feel full by slowing blood-sugar release and steadying insulin levels.

Need to lose weight, like me only 20 pounds, I need to focus on these food groups more.
I guess if you feel hungry at least eat foods that help your metabolism burn better.
With summer coming I need to eat more fresh berries for breakfast. And garlic can be added to almost any meal. Beans are good too, if you want to cut back on your meat intake as well, BEANS

Too bad you don't post often. You might be real interesting when you aren't a corporate shill.
