Snack Your Way To Weight Loss

Stop eating empty calories.

Eat snacks for healthy weight loss instead!

I don’t know about you but I LOVE snacks. I love sweet treats and crunchy salty things. The down side though is that they do not love me. I know exactly what is going to happen when I eat a rich pastry or a bag of chips. It is all going to turn straight into sugar and BAM I’ll feel bogged down and just left feeling empty and craving more. 

That is why it is super important to have snacks for healthy weight loss snacks on hand. When we have those midmorning or mid afternoon or nighttime lulls we start itching to grab something. By failing to plan your snacks you are essentially planning to fail (this goes for meals and workouts too by the way). It could even be one of those things that makes or breaks your healthy weight loss.

Snacks are an important part of your daily consumption. They keep your blood sugar from dipping too low if you go too long between meals. Eating healthy snacks also helps prevent your blood sugar from spiking too high as it would with an unhealthy snack. When following a clean eating lifestyle you really aren’t even having snacks, they are mini meals. 

Another important part of snacks is that they can help keep you from getting TOO hungry and then over eating at meal time. 

One thing you desperately need to watch out for is the packaged so-called “healthy” snacks. These are junk food in disguise. They are cleverly marketed with you as their target audience.  Knowing what YOU need to stay away from makes the journey a lot easier. Processed and packaged foods are NOT snacks for weight loss.
