As I’ve written a lot recently, I’ve been on a major campaign (I won’t call it a New Year’s Resolution Diet) to lose those nagging extra pounds. I’ve lost 10 so far, thank God!
I do believe in eating something every 2-3 hours, as I’ve written in my book, “The Joy of Weight Loss.”
What to eat? Certainly NOT carbs! A little protein, some vegetables are best, I’ve found.
Celery is too stringy and gets between my teeth, although I do love the crunch. Carrots: too sweet and carroty to eat much of.
Here’s my secret snack – Belgian endive. It has almost no calories, no fat, is crunchy and a vegetable.
I like a little humus on the endive. Or a tiny bit of peanut butter (no more than 2 tablespoons a day, as that’s a serving of protein, and it’s really easy to eat way too much). Almond butter is great, too. Low-fat, low-calorie salad dressing, too is good, but not the kind with chemicals and preservative, or sugars.
What’s a healthy snack for you? Please comment below!
