wemay start the year vowing to loose weight but twothirdsof us give up by the end of january. and the biggest cause of throwing in the towel is having a ‘snaccient’ – reaching for a snack by accident, then convincing overselfs we’ve blown it and may as wellhave 20 more.reaserchers found that a large nuber of people quit after falling off the wegon. so, here dieticians and experts show howyou can stick to your good intensions while still enjoying a daily snack.
healthy snacking, 200 calories a day, can help you curb hunger pangs and cravings and increase your energy level before your workout session.
stock your fridge and cuboards with healthy snacks that are ready to eat this way when a snack attack hits, you can tuck in immediately.
studies show we forget what we eat when distracted,then eat again. don’t eat while watching TV, emailing, texting or gaming.
a lot of us snack on autopilot or because we are bored. But being tired, stressed, angry or sad can also be a trigger. keep a diary of what you eat.
one in six of us don’t taste the food snack on, so slow down, chew every mouthful and enjoy the taste, texture and flavour.
take crisps, chocolates, biscuits and ice-cream out of packaging and serve in bowls or on plates. seeing food will help you recognise how much you eat. keep wrappers too. in one study, students ate many fewer pistachios when facedwith the empty shels.
