Prepare Delicious Diet Friendly Snacks

Research shows fat women tend to eat 20% more snack vis-a-vis a thin woman. Many of us have been bought up in such a manner that we consume snacks throughout the day. If we consume healthy snacks, it helps us lose weight as having small healthy meals do help us in weight loss.

Whenever you have craving for food grab a large glass of water; many times we mistake hunger for thirst. Water will also make you feel full and if you have anything after having water you will eat lesser than what you have without having the glass of water.

Do not have diet coke as thought they help you keep water in your body and would make your sweet cravings less; diet coke isn’t good for snacking. Diet beers have a very good taste; you can make a float with root beer along with a scoop of low fat ice crème or yogurt.

When you have cravings for chocolate; it is easy for you to grab a chocolate bar, but you would be consuming around 900 calories. You should try fruit sticks dipped in some salt pretzel and chocolate.

Another good snacking option is having a medium sized apple with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter; you can choose from salt & nut or sweet & crunch, this would have just 175 calories. Peanut butter is filled with protein and fibre; which are great for weight loss.

Try having whole wheat made crackers with some stringed cheese; this would give your body protein & fat in just 150 calories.

Soup can be had as many times as possible. You have many tasty options available from Progresso which would have less than 130 calories in a serving.

Chips become your biggest foe if you are dieting. Even if you have very strong cravings for chips you should always keep off potato and corn chips. Try whole wheat cracker with some tortilla (keep portion in check) and some low fat/calorie salsa dip. Opt for jello snacks which have just 10 calories.

Do not destroy your diet by making low fat snacks in advance. You should throw away all high calorie food; so that you do not have any temptation. Remember not to skip meals.
