Sooner or later almost everybody suffering from excess weight comes to a thought that these excess kilos/pounds make their life less comfortable, aesthetic and very often less healthy. Than this person makes firm decision – I must end with this excess weight problem! By the way to make such decision is a very vital step to succeed in weight loss.
Next stage is to choose right weight loss program. It is very important that it would suit exactly you. It must suit your state of health and your gastronomic affections cause the program will last not for a few days. To consult with your physician is compulsory! Together you can elaborate your diet plan. There is no need to include in it foodstuffs you do not like. Long consumption of disliked by you foodstuffs will lead to psychological discomfort and therefore to diet fail. If you do not like curd for example, then do not include it in your everyday diet plan. Substitute it with fruits, yoghurt, vegetable salad or peace of not fat meat.
There are plenty of variants. The main thing is not what you ate but how much.
Well, you have diet plan and firm, final decision to follow it. You think that now all things go easy. You follow diet and get good results.
In practice all goes much harder. What to do if breakfast is already gone but there is too much time till lunch? Thoughts about food don’t leave you. I think it is well known by you if you at least once tried to lose weight.
What to do in this situation?
The answer is – have a snack. You must know that split nutrition with not big portions speed up considerably your metabolism and prevent discomfort hunger feelings.
But having a snack you must follow these rules:
- Food for a snack must contain not more than 100 calories
- Use those foodstuffs that charge you with energy and positive emotions.
Let’s see now what we can have for a snack not breaking diet plan. Choose foodstuffs that suit you best and have a snack!
1. It may be any fruits. Prefer fruits with about 50 calories for 100g (3.5oz) of foodstuff. That can be apples, pears, oranges, grapes, kiwi. But some fruits can provoke your appetite and some can muffle it. For example apples do not muffle my appetite absolutely. Quite the contrary my stomach begins to rumble demanding more food after apples. So conclusion is – as a snack apples are not for me. What to do? I substitute apples with more carb fruit. It can be banana. I eat banana but hold the quantity of it less. Remember the main rule – snack must have not more than 100 calories.
2. It can be sandwich with vegetables. Take cereal bread. Then put a half of tomato, small piece of cheese and cut greens on it. Your snack is ready! You have plenty of variants. The point is – your snack must be with only one sandwich!
3. Dried fruits are very good for a snack. They have plenty of calories but it is not a problem. You will not eat many of them. 5-6 dried apricots, prunes will be OK. Drink water or any fruit tea but without sugar.
4. Nuts have also plenty of calories but are very health-giving at the same time. If your had no time for a low-calorie snack take nuts without doubts but not more than 40gr (a bit less than 2oz) a day.
5. Do not put aside yogurts and other sour milk foodstuffs. Remember - the fresher the most health-giving.
6. Berries also are very good for a snack. Blend them with curd or yogurt – your hunger will vanish without trace.
7. Piece of cereal bread with yogurt muffles hunger easily. Take only one piece of bread but no tough limits for yogurt. Big glass is no problem.
8. Two-three small pieces of chocolate can be a snack but not the whole bar.
As you see there are plenty of foodstuffs for a snack. Take them but follow 100 calories/snack rule. Turn out hunger feeling and discomfort!
Look after your breakfast, lunch and dinner. How balanced they are. Good results of weight loss will be for sure.
Be healthy,
