Most people eat crap for snacks! Sorry but that's the case! Often carb or sugar loaded, these snacks can kill energy levels and often set the ball rolling for blood sugar highs and lows - the exact thing you want to keep balanced for high energy and minimal fat loss.
Some of my favourite snacks are raw vegetables.
- WAIT! Before you start thinking "Boring" - these snacks are/will: - Full of fibre so will keep you feeling full for longer - Packed with vitamins and minerals - Low in calories, so you don't have to worry about packing on additional kcals - LOW Gi so will balance blood sugar levels keeping energy high, and blood sugar sustained.
- Rich in enzymes that the body can use, so will benefit the stomach and your body as a whole.
The key is to be prepared.
Chop up carrots, cucumbers, peppers, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, radish, anything you can think of and store in the fridge in a Tupperware pot.
Fill it up each night and you have snacks on tap, and ready to take to the office, or the car.
Add a pot of hummus and you have a perfect snack! Other snack options could be; - Protein shake (easy to make and carry for work) - Handful of nuts - Boiled egg - Parma Ham and melon - Natural nut and seed bar - A piece of fruit and 6 nuts The key is to keep your snacks natural, and about palm sized, and as sugar free as possible.
This will keep you full and stop blood sugar levels wavering.
