Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

The health experts recommend us to eat healthy snacks between meals, snacks because they help suppress hunger severe and thus the risk of over-consumption once we sit down to dinner at a main meal.

Main Meal

Set schedules for snacks
If you do not usually eat healthy snacks between meals, you must learn to respect the hours of snacks, and do not eat snacks when you’re hungry only.

The idea is to bring snacks in your daily diet as a way to prevent you from getting hungry between two main meals. Then you should set a schedule for eating healthy snack between breakfast and lunch, then another hour between lunch and dinner. This way, you avoid overeating when you sit at table to eat one of your three main meals of the day.

Choose the place to eat healthy snacks
Experts recommend eating snacks in the kitchen, which they believe is the best place to eat healthy snacks, as if your meal was a main meal.

Do not eat snacks at your office desk. If you keep snacks or snack foods in your desk drawer, you prepare mentally (sometimes unconsciously) to over-indulge and treat yourself without moderation, which is not good feeding behavior – (from the perspective of healthy eating).

Sitting on empty calories, unhealthy, often means that you are likely to consume more calories unnecessary. Then try to keep your healthy snacks at work in the kitchen (if your employer has provided a kitchen area), or in a common refrigerator (if available). This way, you will get up to go to your office to your place to store snacks, and you move during the day is a good thing.
