Bad snacking habits can be a massive pitfall to an otherwise flawless diet regime, but they don’t have to be! Here are six tips to enjoy your snack without fretting about it!
1. Chew more
Rather than reaching for foods like chips that can be eaten quickly, choose items like carrots that take a longer time to eat but provide a crunch factor.
2. Plan your snacks
Although it might seem outrageous to plan something like a small snack, it could make the difference you need! When you’re planning your meals, add your snacks to the plan to fill in the gaps.
3. Pack it up
By preparing snacks ahead of time you can help avoid impulse grabs for things like fast food or convenient salty treats from the vending machine while on the go.
4. Rethink that drink
Instead of opting for a creamy or high-sugar beverage, rely on water throughout the day. If you need to satisfy your sweet tooth, try Hydroxycut Instant Drink Mix for a refreshing, sugar-free drink with an added energy boost.
Subjects taking the key ingredient in Pro Clinical Hydroxycut® Instant Drink Mix (C. canephora robusta) for 60 days lost an average of 10.95 lbs. with a low-calorie diet and 3.7 lbs. in a separate 8-week study with a calorie-reduced diet and moderate exercise. Scientifically researched ingredient caffeine anhydrous (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is shown to boost your metabolism and provide fast-acting energy so you can keep up with your busy lifestyle.
5. Mix it up
Getting sick of carrots and celery? If so, you might be tempted to resort to salty or sugary snacks. To avoid this, try some dried fruit or nuts to keep you from getting bored.
6. Mindful snacking
If you snack while focused on something else, you lose track of how much you’ve actually eaten. If you feel the need to snack, drop what you’re doing and focus all of your attention on your snack, then return to what you were doing. This way, you’ll be more aware of how much you eat, and you’ll want to eat less too!
Use these smart snacking tips and don’t let mindless snacking stand in the way of you achieving your weight loss goals!
