"I am trying to lose weight
but I can't keep my hands off of candies!", "My sweet tooth always
gets the best of me!", "Sodas are my weakness", "I cannot
stop munching crisps!".
No more excuses.
All too often, people fail to
stick to their diet plans and eventually give in to their cravings. It's okay, we
are only human! However, your sweet tooth can still be trained to be satisfied
by the sweet taste of an apple or another fruit - even though we both know that
anything that comes close to REALLY satisfying your sweet tooth isn't going to
be the epitome of a healthy meal, you eventually get used to it. With a healthy
snack, you can have all the snack-time you want, minus the calories and the
resultant flab. It may seem like the end of the world, but it's all in your
head, believe it or not. All it takes is persistence, consistence, patience and
perseverance (asking for a little much, aren't we?) well, you know what they
say; no pain no gain! But rest assured, the pain is temporary, and before you
know it, you will start to warm up to it. It is, after all, worth it. Know that
anything that will hamper your weight loss regime is FORBIDDEN, because it's a
deep, dark pit. Once you fall in, there is no coming back (sorry for
being so dramatic, but you'll thank me later). Anyway, let me cut straight to
the chase; here's a list of weight loss friendly snacks to help you get through
the day without feeling guilty:
1. Grapes and walnuts -
The ultimate, power-packed combo of fiber, protein, and sugars (the good kind)
and healthy fats. Once you start snacking on a cup of grapes and a handful of
nuts, there is no stopping; and the only thing you will gain is ENERGY!
3. Apple with... cheese?-
That's right! Apples are celebrated for helping in preventing weight gain!
Pairing a little bit of apple with a little bit of cheddar cheese makes the
perfect sweet 'n' sour combo for you to snack on.
4. Almonds-
Good ol' almonds; aside from making one sharp, they help in weight loss as
well. Chewing almonds thoroughly throughout the day makes one feel full and
hence, prevents them from consuming too many calories.
5. Grapefruit-
Hands down, ALL fruits make for better, healthier snacks. Grapefruit, for one,
has been rightly dubbed as "diet food". Grapefruit works by lowering
insulin levels and as a result, managing appetite. A study found that when
people ate grapefruit with each meal, they lost up to 3 and a half pounds over
the course of just 3 months! Moreover, - grapefruit is beneficial in any and
all forms; grapefruit juice, grapefruit smoothies etc. Be creative!
6 Greek yogurt with raspberries and
honey- It comes as no surprise that fruit plus dairy equals zesty,
rich and delicious! This sweet and creamy trio is just what you need to satisfy
your sweet tooth whilst also pacifying the growling monster your stomach turns
into, at some time of the day. This snack is loaded with fiber, protein and
fats (the healthy kind) as well as the ever so essential Vitamin C, which
increases the body's fat burning abilities.
Psst. No more hiding in corners
and snacking on unhealthy food. With these healthy and nutritious snacks, munch
your way to a smaller waist!
