Peaches steady blood sugar
At long last, peach season is here! And enjoying two of these sweet, juicy gems daily could cut your risk of diet-sabotaging cravings by as much as 70%, say Utah State University scientists. Thanks goes to key nutrients called polyphenols. They flood into the bloodstream within 30 minutes of the first bite, then quickly steady blood glucose. This prevents hunger-triggering blood-sugar dips.
Beef boosts feel-full hormones
Grilled burgers, steaks, smoked short ribs…beef is a summer staple. And enjoying four 6-oz. servings weekly helps you effortlessly eat 500 fewer calories each day (and shed up to 11 pounds this summer), say University of Washington investigators. They explain that when amino acids in beef reach the stomach, they prompt the release of three hunger-killing hormones, known as cholecystokinin, GLP-1 and peptide YY.
