Snack Challenge…Last Week’s Top Fat-loss Posts!
The Power of SNACKS!
Snacks are a beautiful thing and I love them. Unfortunately they have a bad reputation… and for good reason considering what MOST people consider a snack! Between the stops at the vending machine and the grab-and-go at the gas station- most people are grabbing whatever is fast, sugary, and convenient. This is an easy way to increase in the jiggle in your middle.
Lucky for you, I love to help people lose the jiddle in their middle. With that in mind, snacks can be one of your greatest fat-loss allies! If you’re doing it right, snacks are great for keeping energy levels high, maintaining blood sugar, helping to nourish your body, and if you have kids, it shuts them up (who doesn’t want that: ).
Choose snacks that COUNT
Pick snacks that are high in protein, healthy fats, and fiber to help you stay full longer and won’t spike your blood sugar. Just because they are healthy, doesn’t mean they won’t taste great!
Here’s a list of 53 healthy snack ideas that will satisfy even the toughest of taste buds: paleogrubs.com/healthy-snacks
Remember:
- ALWAYS listen to your body
- QUANTITY: Keep your daily caloric intake in mind
- Only eat when you’re hungry
- Plan your snacks in advance
- Always have healthy snack options available
I know it’s hard to make smart decisions when your stomach is growling…that’s exactly why it’s SO IMPORTANT to make sure you’ve always got healthy snacks on hand.
One of my favorite go-to snacks is a protein shake with peanut butter. Simple, easy to make, tastes great, and will boost your energy while nourishing your body.
