Finally, something you like is actually good for you too.
That’s right – snacking can be a good thing when it comes to both weight loss and healthier eating. Although the very thought of a snack may fill you with both longing and guilt, snacking isn’t necessarily bad. In fact… enjoy! The fact is you should eat every 3-4 hours, and the right snacks help manage hunger so that you don’t pig out at the next meal.
Of course we aren’t talking about Twinkies or pudding. Choose foods that satisfy your hunger, supply your body with energy and provide important nutrients. You can eat larger servings of foods with low energy density, such as crunchy raw carrots, frozen grapes and air-popped popcorn.
Eating a healthy snack such as a piece of fruit or some raw veggies can: tame your hunger, help to stabilize your blood sugar levels, and keep your energy and motivation high. Isn’t it nice to know that your next “snack attack” doesn’t have to throw you off track?
