11 tips for feeling full and satisfied on a vegan diet

I talked to Business Insider about how to feel full on a vegan diet:

Consume whole and minimally processed plant-based foods

“Don’t fall prey to the standard American diet, by replacing your fast and processed animal-based foods with fast and processed plant-based foods,” said registered dietitian Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN .

Try to move toward eating more whole foods, she advised, and making a fully rounded, nutritious meal. Be sure to top a potato, for instance, with some avocado, non-starchy veggies, and nuts or seeds for a balanced meal instead, she recommended.

Be sure to vary your intake

While it’s tempting to eat the same foods, Feller advised eating a wide variety of nuts, seeds, beans, greens, starchy, non-starchy vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices at each meal.
