Healthy Snacking!

I know that you've heard time and time again that you shouldn't be snacking in between meals. Truth is, snacking can be just what you need to hold you over until dinner. It also makes you feel less hungry so that you are less likely to over eat during your meals.

The key is to pick snacks that are healthy. Don't dig through your cabinets for Little Debbies and Moon Pies. I know, they're oh-so-good, but they're also packed with fat that will put flab in places you'd rather not see them! The best way to avoid this food disaster is to just plain not buy them. If you're like me and you have someone in your house who insists on these unhealthy snacks, put them in a designated cabinet and deem that cabinet OFF LIMITS to you.

My favorite healthy snack is baby carrots. I also like apple slices. Celery and peanut butter is delicious and most kids love it, too. Maybe fruits and veggies aren't your thing? Try the 100 calorie snack packs you can purchase at Wal-Mart or Target. These are yummy and low in fat. A glass of 2% milk might also do the trick.
