 | | 4 / 7 4. Fill up with healthy between-meal snacks
Come snacktime, make sure you have the healthier foods on hand. And keep temptation out of sight by stashing cookies and other high-fat, high-sugar treats hidden from sight in the back of the cupboard or refrigerator. Here's some ideas for snacking well:
Listen to what your body wants before you reach for a snack. Is it something sweet? Or salty? When you are more mindful, you're more likely to be satisfied sooner rather than later.
To satisfy your sweet tooth, try fresh or dried fruit, frozen sorbets, low-fat yogurts or even dark chocolates. If you're looking for something you can sip, blend your own milkshake by combining skim milk, yogurt and fruit in a blender, or try flavored teas.
Need something more filling? Look for protein-rich snacks, such as an hard-boiled egg, slices of turkey ham, or low-fat cheese.
