What’s a good food to help you lose weight? Try the pulses-such as beans, peas, chickpeas and lentils-because they will help make you feel fuller, says a new study.
People who eat 160 grams of dietary pulses every day feel 30 per cent fuller than those who don’t include them in their diet, say researchers from St Michael’s Hospital in Canada. As a result, they eat less, and don’t suffer sudden hunger and food cravings.
Pulses are also low glycaemic foods, which mean they break down slowly and need less blood-sugar to do so.
