The scientific jury is out on this one…..
but here’s what works for me
The camp is divided… some believe that we
should keep to three meals a day and nothing in between, other advocate
snacking, or even dividing your daily food into 6 smaller meals…
I found that I got hungry in between my 3
main meals, and if I tried to fight it, I ended up bingeing on unhealthy food
when I just got too hungry to resist.
My strategy is to plan ahead, and make sure
I have healthy snacks quickly available, and I keep the biscuits and chocolate bars
completely out of the house.
Snacks you could try:
- Fresh Fruit
- Raw veggies
- Natural Yoghurt with fruit
- Small bowl of oats and fruit
- Boiled or poached egg
- Small Omelette
- Crispbread and grilled chicken
- Crispbread and cottage cheese
- Handful of nuts (only if you can resist eating the whole packet!)
- Low calorie jelly pot
