📖 Overview

What this chart is built on

Sustainable weight loss requires high satiety per calorie. Protein, fibre, water content, and volume all reduce hunger. The right foods make calorie deficit feel effortless. The wrong foods (refined carbs, liquid calories) create constant hunger.

✅ Eat freely

🔬 The Science

Why this works

The evidence behind each food choice.

  1. 1Protein is the most satiating macro — eat 1.6-2.2g per kg body weight daily.
  2. 2Fibre slows digestion and reduces appetite hormones.
  3. 3Water content matters — soup is more filling than the same calories of crackers.
  4. 4Boiled potatoes top the satiety index — more filling than any other food per calorie.
  5. 5Liquid calories don't register as fullness — drink water, eat your calories.
💡 Tips

Beyond the food

Habits that multiply your results.

1
Eat protein at every meal — drives satiety hormones
2
Volume matters — fill your plate with vegetables first
3
No drinks with calories — water, black coffee, tea only
4
Sleep 7-8 hours — sleep loss spikes hunger by 28%
5
Walk 8000+ steps daily — non-negotiable
6
Weigh once weekly only — daily fluctuations are not fat
