Power Tip #15 – Banish Unhealthy Snacks
Written on July 27, 2011 – 11:30 pm | by Russ Turley
The power tip this week is dealing with having healthy alternatives handy. It is very possible that people just get an overwhelming desire to snack, or there are situations where you are just used to snacking with the family while watching a movie for example.
It’s all about being prepared. Let’s start out with something really simple like fruit. An apple is probably one of the best examples. If you always have some apples handy, it gives you something to munch on, it’s full of fiber so you will feel like you ate something, and it’s low in calories. And here is another suggestion. If you’re always catching yourself looking in the fridge when you walk past it, even if you’re not hungry – it seems to be more of an old habit. Always have a bowl of water with carrots and celery in it. The water keeps them really crisp, and if you grab a few every time that you pass the fridge – there is no harm done. Another suggestion would be to have hot air popcorn handy. The calories in plain hot air popcorn aren’t too bad, and when people get the munchies, sometimes its better to eat something that takes time to eat.
