This may help reduce overall food intake.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support Metabolism:<\/strong> Some food items can help temporarily increase how much fat your body burns or how much energy it uses<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/32331288\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">1<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21951331\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Help Control Appetite:<\/strong> Foods that promote fullness may help reduce hunger by controlling certain hormones (such as ghrelin and leptin) involved in appetite regulation<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31533291\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">2<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC2771510\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">6<\/a><\/sup>.

However, some foods can make healthy weight loss easier by providing protein, fibre, healthy fats, or other nutrients that support fullness and overall calorie control.
