According to one article, it said that foods with a high water content — fruits, vegetables, water-based soups and stews, and cooked whole grains — are low in calories but satiating.
These are the summary of the article.....to read more, click the link above~

- Whether consciously or not, many thin people follow the strategy of starting out with a sizable soup or salad, which leads them to eat less for the rest of the meal.

- Foods with a lot of water can help you perceive that you’ve eaten more.

- Successful weight maintainers tend to eat five small meals a day rather than three squares, which may make it easier to scale down portions.

- Genes are only partially responsible. Perhaps 30 percent of being thin is genetic — the rest is environment.
If you’re raised playing sports and eating healthy, unprocessed foods, chances are you’ll continue those habits into adulthood, significantly raising your odds of staying slim.

- Thin people don't skip meal. The number one behavior that leads people to lose control is skipping meals.

- People should increase the variety of low-calorie-dense foods they eat — such as vegetables, fruit, and soup — to get the nutrients they need.

- Thin volunteers were more likely to stand, walk, and fidget. The researchers noted that the obese participants sat, on average, more than two hours longer every day than the lean ones did.

- Simply moving around more, taking walks during the workday, and parking your car at the far end of the parking lot can burn many calories. But regular exercise is important, too.

- One of the findings of the NWCR is that slim people do weigh themselves regularly. At the first sign of weight gain, they go right back to their weight-loss plan.

- Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study of breakfast eaters in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association backed up other findings that people who eat breakfast are less likely to be overweight than those who don’t.

- Our bodies have a budget, like our checkbook. We should ‘spend’ on what we eat selectively, not compulsively.

- Understanding what causes you to put on pounds can go a long way toward preventing them.

- Because stress, sadness, anger, loneliness, and grief can send anyone to seek solace in a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, the successfully thin person knows mood-driven eating when she sees it and defends against it.
