'here's to your health!'
So you want to lose weight or maybe you want to keep it off without starving yourself(which doesn't make you lose weight by the way as body comes to it's defense to protect itself) and feeling deprived and hungry all the time. Well besides exercise and a balanced diet of the different food groups, having healthy snacks on hand when sugar level drops in between three meals a day is a good idea. Drinking plenty of water and making your own juices daily in a blender rather than drinking sanitized juice from super market. Is also a natural,cheap way to detoxify your body. It fights cravings as literally changes your taste buds so don't crave sugar,chocoate or salt. Juices can contain a mix of veggies and fruit like kale,carrots,apples,melon,oranges and grapefruit. When you drink them you immediately feel better and happier as are swallowing alot of vitamin C!
Some other options that come to mind of healthy snacks are: a piece of fruit like an apple,orange(has vitamin C. Great to fight depression) or a peach,yogurt in a variety of flavors like real blueberries (great to keep brain healthy), strawberry(rich in antioxidants) Yogurt also contains acidophilus which prevents yeast infections. A banana is another option rich in potassium which is good for your heart. Other healthy snacks include cheese(don't over load on it as can make you constipated) and crackers. Raisins is another. Graham, ginger snap and animal cookies are low in fat, calories. Trail mix and granola are other healthy snacks. So is popcorn.
Some Indian healthy snacks also called chaat, are: banana chips, Karaboondhi, Vadai, Pakoda, Kozhukattai, Murukku. These and other Indian healthy snacks are rich in beans, flour and rice.
Stay clear of potato chips, which are full of salt and cooking oil and Doritos which has monosoium glutomate which can cause hives if allergic. Don't eat candy bars to fill the belly if on the run either as sugar is bad for teeth. Stick to healthy snacks like ones listed above to stay fit and healthy. Remember your body is a finely tuned machine. If you want it to do what you want it to do, you must feed it healthy snacks and food.
After 8 pm is when most people snack. This is the worst time as then you go to bed say around 10 pm and it just sits there in your gut. If you must snack as are nervous or need to satisfy your oral fixation, then go with one of these healthy snacks mentioned but don't over indulge. Many people are emotional eaters who aren't eating just because they're hungry. They eat often all day whether happy,sad,nervous,bored,etc. One really needs to look at what are doing. A food journal is a great way to track your thoughts,feelings and behavior so can get some control over self and life. Just like if you like to shop, the best place to go and do the least damage is a dollar store, eating healthy snacks is a great way to control the hunger and the cravings. Here's to your health!
