So I get the 'Eat This, Not That' Daily newsletter...
...and there was something very interesting in it today, about how sometimes you're still hungry even after eating a satisfying meal. I know this happens to me and I end up eating a cookie or chocolate or something.
They list 7 reasons why this happens and one of the reasons was:
You Don't Stop for Tea Time
According to a study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, people who drank one cup of black tea after eating high-carb foods decreased their blood-sugar levels by 10 percent for 2 and a half hours after the meal, which means they stayed full longer and had fewer food cravings. Researchers credit the polyphenolic compounds in black tea for suppressing rebound hunger.
Pretty Interesting right? Looks like I'm drinking black tea after lunch!
Here's the link for the article of you're interested!

My ww leader once told me that you should drink hot tea, or coffee, after you eat something that's high in fiber as the heat from the liquid expands the fiber n your stomach. Not sure if that's really based on any scientific facts, but it definitely keeps me full for longer!
