SOME HEALTHY SNACKS
Everyone now wants to shed weight and there are umpteen people giving you various ideas, some of which are truly difficult to follow. One thing, for sure, that I can tell you is, I did shed a lot of weight by going on a crash diet as told by a Dr., eating just 2 slices of bread with 1 small cup of dal, a cup of boiled vegetables for lunch and dinner, in between having salads and buttermilk. But, I also ended by getting quite sick. Then found a better way to lose weight by not skipping any food, eating less of rice, more of vegetables and fruits and above all instead of 3 full meals, having 6 smaller meals. This makes one wonder what does a smaller meal mean, well, it can be any snack or fruits, or buttermilk, nuts in between your main meals.
1) Normally your snacks should be anywhere between 100-150 calories, even if you eat a full apple, your calorie will be around 70, depending on the size of the apple. Eating a full fruit is healthy, fewer calories but more of fibre and feeling of fullness.
2) Have 15-20 nuts- almonds, walnuts or pistachios, as they're rich in proteins, fibre, antioxidants, walnuts have Omega 3-fatty acids and also Vitamin E.
3) Have a bowl of salad with just salt, pepper and lime juice ( not the typical salad dressing), it will give you lots of fibre, less calories, also vitamins and minerals.
4) Have a small bowl of sprouts with cucumber and carrots, seasoned with salt, pepper powder and lime juice, it will give you protein, fibre and vitamins.
5) Add some berries to low-fat yoghurt, or you may blend it for smoothie with some honey and nuts, to give you enough protein, vitamins, antioxidants and above all a feeling of fullness.
6) Have a nutri-bar- which has some oats, nuts, honey or jaggery.
7) Avocado has Omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants- so have it with salt and pepper powder or if too hungry, toast a bread, spread half an avocado on it and no butter. I love it.
8) Have a glass of thin buttermilk or coconut water, which are healthy, when you feel thirsty.
What is important is the size and the calories, always stop when you want to have another bite, never eat stomach full. Keep drinking water in between meals, it will make you feel full and also keeps you well hydrated.
