Did you know that
when you are on a diet, if you eat something and no
one sees you - it doesn’t contain any calories!
Of course that's not true...but it is how many of us
think! Learn how to
beat the hunger pains
between meals.
Are you a secret
snacker? Do you eat when you are bored, upset,
and angry? Does every day mean a chocolate bar
for you? Snacking…the secret sins of most people
wanting to
lose weight.
Your diet does not
have to be like this.
You can
lose weight
without being hungry. You can learn to take
control of the “Snack Monster” and your program can be
one to set you up for success, not failure.
An important key is
to learn how to recognize what your body requires, the
signals it gives you, and learn how to respond to
those signals appropriately – diet and guilt are two
words that do not belong together.
Hunger is the
body’s way of telling us we need to replenish depleted
nutrients. Unfortunately our body can’t say “I need
more vitamin D”. That would make things so easy!
Many of us interpret hunger pains as our body saying
“I need more fat”; “I need more sugar”.
The keys to healthy
snacking are:
-
Know what foods
to avoid, and
-
Planning – get
yourself organized.
What Is A Healthy Snack?
One that contains
little or no sugar, little or no salt (sodium), no
white flour and no saturated fat. Check the food
labels to see what is inside. Many foods are now
labeled ‘fat free’ but are laden with sugars and will
still cause an influx of calories. Don 't assume that
‘fat free’ means healthy! Western societies are eating
more and more fat free foods, and yet obesity
levels are rising faster
than ever.
Here Are Some Healthy Snack Ideas:
Raw vegetables,
such as celery, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, green
pepper, green beans, cucumbers, mushrooms or zucchini
may be served with a low fat dip.
-
Fresh fruit in
season.
-
Low fat quick
breads and muffins, such as pumpkin, zucchini,
banana or bran.
-
·Non-sugared
cereals, snack mixes made with popcorn and whole
grain cereal.
-
Low fat yogurt
with fresh, frozen or canned fruit.
-
Shakes with low
fat milk or yogurt and fruit.
-
·A few squirts of
butter-flavored spray and a sprinkle of garlic or
onion powder on popcorn.
Organize yourself
to stay on track.
Plan to have a
small snack mid morning and mid afternoon. It is much
better to curb your hunger than to
starve yourself.
