2Healthy Food Choices Dos and Donts of Snacking
Late-night munching, gulping down the whole bag
of baked chips and looking for another, expanding
your stomach to take in countess glasses of soft
drinks, keeping your mouth busy crunching cookies
A snack attack can happen anytime, anywhere and
to anyone. Theres no denying that chocolate
bars, cream-filled doughnuts, cheesy nachos,
flavoured smoothies and French fries are just
irresistible to almost all of us. Given the
considerable amounts of trans fats, saturated
fats, high fructose corn syrup and other
not-so-healthy food chemicals stuffed in our
favourite snacks, however, snacking has developed
a bad reputation for itself for a long while.
So, does that mean you should give up all your
snacking habits? Well, theres a better way out.
Being smart about your snack choices can help
make snacking work for you and your body. Here
are some dos and donts that will tell you
exactly how you can turn snacking into a healthy
habit.
3Dont Create More Cravings Yes, cravings are
hard to resist. But you dont want to go out of
control and yield to your cravings and munch and
munch and munch until you drop. With high-carb
snacks and high in sugar foods, its like the
more you consume, the more you crave it. So, pay
attention to what goes inside your mouth and keep
your cravings in control.
4Do Schedule Snack Time Establishing regular
snack times is an imperative aspect of healthy
snacking. You take a meal and the chances are
youre going to feel like snacking twice or more
before your next meal. To make sure you dont end
up overeating every time you starve, plan a snack
time between your meals. Not to mention, add
snacks that are filling yet healthy rather than
just stocking up on appetizing but unhealthy
stuff.
5Do Keep Calories Down Strategic snacking is
mostly about keeping calories down. Keep your
calorie count 150-200 calories and your snack
will help you maintain your energy level, blood
sugar and metabolism. Gluten free snacks like
gluten free granola bars, Quinoa snack bars, and
air-popped popcorns and frozen yoghurt are some
low-calorie treats that let you enjoy your
snaking breaks without worrying about your waist
line and weight.
6Do Have a Snack Bag of Nuts Dried fruits and
nuts are definitely your go-to option when it
comes to satisfying your hunger while keeping it
all well and healthy. High in fibre, protein and
heart-healthy fats, nuts make for a great treat.
Make an individual bag of nuts, so you can take
it your workplace or grab some when youre on the
go.
7Dont Stock Up On Snacks Believe us, keeping
your favourite chocolate bars, whipped cream
pudding, packaged cookies, candies and potato
chips in your drawer or on your desk will only
set you up overindulge. The more you see them,
the more you crave and consume. Keeping your
snack stuff at a distance will help you prevent
over-eating. Every time you feel like snacking,
youll have to get up and move around, which is a
good thing for your energy level.
