I'm guilty of snacking when I've nothing to do. Most of the time, I just reach out and grab a bag of chips and snack away. Before I know it, the bag's almost out. I believe I'm not the only one who has these little moments.
How do we get over this guilty pleasure? My bet is on healthy snacking.
Although we're accustomed to eating salty chips or sugary treats for snacks, there are tasty yet healthy alternatives for us to munch on like:
- dried fruits instead of chocolate chip cookies
- freshly squeezed fruit juice instead of fruit flavored drinks
- ice-cold water instead of sodas
If you can't give up your favorite sinful snack of choice, then why not try to work with it? Try to trim down your serving proportions into a smaller one. One good way to do it is to not carry the entire bag or box with you. Instead, take some and put it on a plate to regulate your consumption.
By learning how to snack healthy, you prevent overeating and avoid gaining excess weight. Who knows, if you keep at it with this habit, you might even lose some weight?
