Healthy Snacks - The Key to Losing Weight!

By Lyla Feldman


If you are serious about losing weight, snacking is the way to go! Only a certain kind of snacking and it doesn't include donuts, cakes, or cookies. Healthy snack foods are just as important healthy meals. By snacking throughout the day, you will be less likely to be ravenous and overeat during lunch or dinner. They can keep you fueled up and energized throughout the day.
That means you will be more productive, physically stronger and more mentally alert.

Try to ignore those evil vending machines at work and bring your own snacks. All it takes is a little preparation either the night before or as you're getting ready for work. It just depends on if you can get up early enough or if you're a night owl. Avoid temptations if possible. I know that it may be difficult especially in a work setting when everyone else around you is chowing down on fried dough and pastries. It may be a good idea to plan your snacks during certain times and just concentrate on snacking. That seems next to impossible, since most of us are always doing something during snacking. Also, do not skip meals as this increases the urge to reach for those high calorie foods.

If you think your choices are limited when it comes to healthy snacks then you are dead wrong. You may also give into the misconception that healthy snack foods are not going to fight your hunger pains but that is not true. There are many quick healthy snacks out there, some you may have forgotten about or some new ones to add to your list. The following are some of my personal favorites: air popped popcorn with low salt and butter, apple sauce, sunflower seeds, edamame, low-fat string cheese, yogurt, pudding, raw veggies, apple slices, and whole wheat pretzels. There are so many more to choose from - just find your favorites and plan ahead!
