Weight-loss drugs like Ozempic have gained popularity recently for their ability to support weight loss, which can mostly be attributed to their appetite-suppressing effects. Ozempic is in a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic the hormone GLP-1. This slows down gastric emptying and sends signals of fullness to the brain. Basically, this means food stays in the stomach longer and tells the brain that you are full and don’t need more food.
Needless to say, starting your day with a hearty bowl of oatmeal to help you feel more satisfied throughout the day. Lentils are rich in fiber and protein, both of which support weight loss by promoting satiety and steady blood sugar levels. Fiber in lentils slows down digestion, mimicking the effect of GLP-1 drugs. The protein content in lentils also helps trigger fullness hormones, making it a great plant-based option to help with appetite control.Apples contain pectin, a type of soluble fiber that expands in your stomach and delays digestion.
Like oats, barley is another whole grain with high beta-glucan fiber levels. This type of fiber increases GLP-1 production and slows digestion, supporting appetite control and prolonged fullness. Just one tablespoon of chia seeds added to yogurt, smoothies, or oatmeal can help you feel more satisfied for hours.
