The Snack Attack Plan

Snacking for success

1. Snack on foods that are high in soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is hard for the body to digest so it takes longer and more calories. Examples of good high fiber snack are: Pea Pods - Buy them wash them, store them in serving size baggies, they are yummy and so easy. Fruits like apples, pears, berries, mangoes. Most vegetables with the exception of tomatoes, potatoes and corn

2. Snack on foods that are low on the glycemic index. Here are some low glycemic foods that you can snack on. Remember portion control, these are snacks. Cheese 1 serving about the size of 2 dice Nuts I serving about the size of the palm of your hand Info on nuts: hazelnuts and almonds are lowest in saturated fat macadamia and hazelnuts are highest in monounsaturated fat pistachios and macadamia nuts are highest in fiber walnuts have the most omega-3 fatty acids Vegetables 1 serving is 1 cup Fish 1 serving about the size of a deck of cards Eggs 1 se

Go for yogurt Yogurt is a great snack and it is portable. Studies have shown that women who eat 3 or 4 servings of dairy products a day lose 70% more fat than those who don’t. Take advantage of this yummy fast easy and beneficial snack. Add granola or walnuts or fresh berries on top to make the treat even better.

Pack some trail mix. Trail mix is a great combination of protein carbs and healthy fats. Make sure that you buy a brand that has no added sugar and divide it into serving size baggies. It is easy to eat handful after handful of granola and these extra calories will add up fast.
