Nutritionists have long understood that vegetarians and people highlighting the fruits and vegetables in your menu are weak and elegant compared to those who are subjected to all sorts of diets and consume many processed foods.

Now it is clear that the issue is not just a few calories in fruit and vegetables, tomatoes are extremely rich in ‘lycopene’, which according to scientists makes people feel the City for a long time and suppresses the hormones responsible for increased appetite.

Scientists from the University of Reading made his discovery as tested the effect of bread enriched with vegetables in 17 women aged between 18 and 35 years.

Volunteers receive a sandwich with cream cheese or bread enriched with tomatoes and carrots, you are asked to record how they feel City.

Scientists had expected the extra fiber in the bread with carrots to induce a feeling of satiety in women, but it appears that such is the effect of tomatoes.

"This is a small study and the results may not be as clearly defined, but are certainly indicative" said Dr. Julie L., a specialist in food metabolism, which leads the project.
