Many people assume that for a diet to be effective, they need to severely restrict their food intake.

However, according to celebrity fitness trainer and author of "Tiny and Full", Jorge Cruise, there is a way to eat more and weigh less. Cruise has been featured on Khloe Kardashian's "Revenge Body," and his diet plans have been followed by numerous celebs, including Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, and Eva Longoria.

Cruise says that people have the ability to "turn off hunger" by consuming large amounts of foods that are low in calories and energy density (the number of calories a food has per unit of mass). It's a concept that was first introduced by Dr. Barbara J. Rolls, a professor and chair of nutritional sciences at Pennsylvania State University.

According to Rolls, low-energy density foods foods like fruits and vegetables that have a high water content are effective in helping people reduce their overall food intake.

As an example, Cruise explains the difference between eating potato chips or strawberries as a snack. He says you can either consume 100 calories by eating nine potato chips or by eating 23 strawberries. Because strawberries are less dense in terms of calories than potato chips are, you can eat a lot more of them, which will result in you feeling fuller for longer, therefore discouraging you from further snacking.

Cruise uses this logic to inform his diet plans, which allow his clients to enjoy all the meals they love, but just with some key substitutions.

So instead of having lasagna made with pasta noodles, Cruise suggests swapping out the pasta noodles with zucchini noodles. Or he'll sub a corn tortilla for pizza dough. One of his favorite desserts is ice cream made purely from fruits, like strawberry and banana, blended together.

The more fruit and vegetables you can incorporate into your diet, the easier it'll be to maintain a smaller waistline while still eating plenty of food.
