It's Monday - Don't forget to be awesome!
As we roll into week three, let's talk about snacks!
Snacking often gets a bad rap when it comes to working toward a healthy weight loss, but in reality, snacking is a perfectly healthy habit, provided you’re making thoughtful choices as to which foods you’re nibbling on and are mindful of portions! A quick, measured-out Greek yogurt + berries + granola parfait is one of my favorite snacks.
Common Snacking Pitfalls to Avoid-Eating Straight From the Package: Eating from a small bowl instead of straight from the bag curbs unconscious overeating
-Falling for "Healthy" Traps: Watch out for granola and protein bars—they can sneak in ton of sugar and calories. Sneak a peek at the label first
-Snacking Out of Boredom: Distinguish between emotional hunger and actual, physical stomach rumbling. If you are simply bored, try drinking a glass of water or taking a quick walk to reset
-Late-Night Grazing: Avoid heavy late snacks; they bed can negatively impact how your body burns fat and often increase total calories
What’s your game plan for managing snacks this week?
