Avocados are not only bursting with nutrients and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats but there is also evidence to show that they may support weight loss. One study demonstrated that those who ate half an avocado with their lunch felt 23% more satisfied and had a 28% lower desire to eat over the next 5 hours.

5. APPLE SLICE COOKIES
130 calories per apple slice cookie
1 red apple sliced, topped with 1 tbsp peanut or almond butter, dark chocolate chips, coconut flakes and walnut pieces.
It’s conventional wisdom to associate dieting with living off low calorie vegetable sticks and whilst many would shy away from the higher calorie nuts, they are in fact a dieter’s best friend.
Numerous studies have shown that just a handful of nuts a day can significantly reduce hunger, leading to a lower overall calorie intake throughout the day. These effects boil down to their protein and fibre content which both have satiating properties.
And there really is nothing tastier than an apple topped with a dollop of indulgent nut butter and some healthy toppings to give it that extra crunch.
