There’s no way around it: To lose weight, you need to cut calories. But eating less is a surefire way to feel dissatisfied after every meal. Instead of shrinking your portions, bulk up meals with foods that will fill you up without weighing you down, like fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy, suggests Barbara Rolls, PhD, author of The Ultimate Volumetrics Diet and director of the Laboratory for the Study of Human Ingestive Behavior at Penn State University.
