Quick weight loss snacks during weight loss journey
Have you ever thought about the reasons for the failure of weight loss efforts? I have realized that the best results in the weight loss journey depends upon the quality of your snacks. In the name of healthy and roasted snacks, we see a lot of junk being sold in the market. Today let us talk about a few easy home made quick weight loss snacks that can bring a difference during your weight loss journey.
What is a healthy weight loss snack?
When we say ‘snack’ it means food consumed in small portions in between main meals. There are different views on snacking as an aid to weight loss efforts. According to some snacks in between meals helps to manage hunger pangs and regulate blood sugar.
Not only that, eating small portions of food in the form of snack helps in increasing nutrients in the body. Thus the best snacks are those that are rich in protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Yes, there is no doubt that you need to plan and prepare your snacks before hand so that you don’t reach out to unhealthy processed food when you feel hungry in between meals. Snacks help in promoting weight loss as it becomes a part of daily healthy food eating habits but only snacking can’t help you lose excess weight. Let us know how snacking can help weight loss goals ….
- Snacks must be full of good nutrients and contain a good mix of vitamins and minerals.
- Snacks must be had in small portions, as a small bowl of sprouts or one medium sized apple or orange.
- Snacks must have a good balance of protein and complex carbohydrates.
- A filling snack should contain some healthy fat as it helps in keeping full for longer.
- One snack should not be more than 100-200 calories. Ideally a good snack is 100 calorie one for weight loss.
