Don't miss out on the best kept Weight Loss Secret. You'll be glad you discovered it!
Dieting is not about starving yourself and going hungry, it's about choosing the right foods and enjoying them often.
Here are some healthy snack foods you can munch on without feeling guilty...
Popcorn
As long as you don't saturate it in butter and/or salt (a.k.a. movie theatre popcorn) this is a very healthy snack. It’s very high in fiber and low in calories. The best kind to eat is the air popped but if you're going to pop it on the stove make sure you use oils with monosaturated fats like canola or olive oil. Be careful with microwave popcorn. Check the labels for sodium and fat content because it varies from brand to brand.
Almonds and Other Nuts
You've heard the old phrase "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Well now people are saying the same thing about a handful of nuts. The biggest weapon contained in nuts is the monosaturated fat. This kind of fat is actually good for you and can even help clear your arteries. Nuts help fill you up and are also high in Vitamin E, fiber and magnesium.
Sunflower Seeds
These will also work as they are like a cousin to the nut and contain a lot of the same good characteristics. If you choose to eat these, be sure to choose the ones with low or no salt. Many people like to lick the salt from the shell and that's when a healthy snack turns into a not-so-healthy snack. The salted shells are fine in moderation but just be sure to limit your consumption.
Beef Jerky
Who knew? Beef jerky is actually a very healthy snack contrary to popular belief. On average one ounce of jerky contains about 70-80 calories, 12 grams of protein and around 1 gram of fat. Just remember to buy your jerky at a health food store. The kind you see in regular grocery stores are generally high in sodium.
Low Fat Yogurt
An 8-ounce cup of yogurt generally contains 2-3 grams of fat and around 150 calories. This is a much better snack food option than something like ice cream. A recent study showed people that consumed three servings of light yogurt daily as part of a reduced-calorie diet lost about 20 percent more weight than those who only cut calories. Some recipes will even call for low fat yogurt to replace sour cream.
Alternatively, you could also have a good supply of apples or other fruit handy or a low-fat cereal bar for when you feel peckish. It is not too difficult to lose weight without starving yourself.
