Never feel hungry diet: bananas
For a fuss-free snack on the run, you can\'t go past the humble banana. For slower-release energy choose green bananas. The riper the banana the higher the energy hit, so if you\'re in need of fuel fast, the yellower, the better!

Never feel hungry diet: berries
Swap the humble apple for a pot of berries. Of course, fresh is always best, but frozen berries are still packed with the same nutrients and antioxidants as their fresh-from-the farm counterparts. You can purchase them in pre-packed pots, which eliminates the mess of dividing a pack into portions.
Cheese please

The \'never feel hungry diet\': cheese
For a protein hit minus the fat, opt for extra light Laughing Cow cheese smeared on one wholegrain toast, topped with sliced cherry tomatoes. Wholegrains are rich in phytic acid which reduces the glycaemic index of food, so that you will stay fuller for longer.
