What To Eat For Snacks

 Snacking is the number one downfall for most diets....

I know we all do it, have a quick biscuit here and there, you can never seem to stop at one!  

Here are some healthy snacking tips for you to follow and enjoy.  Always try to eat organic snacks, grains, vegetables, fruits and nuts.  These will help with sustaining your blood sugar levels. 

• Avoid preservatives, white flours, refined sugars, food colorings and artificial flavors. 
• Read labels and look at calorie amounts and fat content as well as salt and sugar levels.
• Snacks should be maximum of 120 calories or less.  Ensure that you build your snack calories into your day to day meal plan. 
• Avoid excessive alcohol as this adds loads of calories 
• Prepare your snacks in advance.  The worst thing is eating out of a packet or box as you are more than likely to eat the whole thing.  If you put them onto a small plate or into a ready made snacking back (portioned out), this will help. 
• Get rid of temptation foods.  So, if you have the wrong type of snacks available, you need to give them away or get rid of them. If there are no temptations in your fridge or pantry or cupboard, you are less likely to go off track. 
• Have healthy snacks available.  Put fruit out on the table so that these are easily reached. 

So what kind of snack ideas can you use:

• cruditities with humus or with a light dip
• handful of nuts,almonds, walnuts,cashews, peanuts, hazelnuts
• berries, 
• dried fruit
• fresh fruit
• Rye bread, or crackers with light toppings.

The main thing to remember is however many calories go in, you need more to come out.  
Exercise is essential for weight loss so I don't have to keep on harping on about it!

SO what is your favourite low calorie snack, share it with me in the comments below :)
 
The best one will get a box of Herbalife Snack Bars (flavour of your choice)!
