Hello Dear One!

Have you KNOWN that the act of snacking (and WHAT you’re snacking on) might not be the most helpful behavior in the weight loss effort?

Perhaps and perhaps not.  Regardless it’s often hard to stop.

Here are a few useful approaches to quell the urge to snack.

1) FRUIT AND VEGGIES

Honestly, though these items seem like a great idea in theory to eat predominately – they’re not.

Fruit is the WORST as the more you eat of it, the more of it you want to eat.

Fruit is also an quick way to get lots of simple, sugar forward carbs.  You’ll get full fast – but it won’t last, and you’ll be ready to eat again in no time.

Veggies are admittedly infinitely more virtuous as they don’t include the mega blood sugar spike and fall – but they still won’t last long in your belly.

2). GET FULL

EAT at your meals to the point of getting FULL.

Often when people wish to lose weight they end up winning the battle meal (small amount of calories) and losing the weight loss war (high level hunger later with less conscious choices made).

Please include protein and fat as those macronutrients will anchor your blood sugar (less insulin released = less fat stored), make you FEEL satisfied, and create a feeling of weight and fullness in your belly ensuring you do NOT need to reach for anything additional for quite some time.

3)  APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

Drinking 2 TBS in water with stevia is not only a SMART way to prep insulin and blood sugar levels (Apple Cider Vinegar and Weight Loss) before meals – but it is a natural appetite suppressant.

If you’re feeling a slight urge and do NOT wish to eat, or think you could hold on until the next meal if you had a little assistance – give this tactic a try.

It’s kind of amazing!

4) KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR WHY

The more often we eat the more often insulin is released.

The more that happens the more insulin resistant our bodies will be (easier to gain weight and harder to lose it).

If it’s a toss up as to whether we are REALLY hungry and need to eat, or if we could have some water (or water with Apple Cider Vinegar), sometimes reminding ourselves of the benefits of our choice can make making it easier.

5). BE LESS HUNGRY

When you’re less hungry and able to comfortably go for 4-5+ hours in between meals snacking isn’t even a thought, let alone a struggle.

One thing that makes weight loss SO MUCH EASIER in a Fat Burning mode is one IS less hungry when the body is happily running off of the fat on her frame vs the sugar in the form of carbs in her meals.
