Snacks Won’t Harm You On Your Weight Loss Journey

Does snacking fit into your weight loss plan? Some people think that snacking can sabotage your weight loss efforts and this may have some degree of truth ONLY if you choose snacks that are not supportive of your health and weight loss goals. I encourage my clients to snack between meals if their body calls for it.

This is because it has a ton of benefits:
1)Eating the right combination of snacks can actually help you lose weight
2)Consuming a healthy snack between meals can suppress your hunger
3)Snacking can prevent overeating at meals by controlling your appetite throughout the day
4)Snacking provides necessary fuel needed to prepare and recover from exercise
5)It can help you close nutritional gaps in your diet

To make the most out of your snacks, WITHOUT sabotaging your weight loss efforts, Choose snacks that satisfy your hunger, supply your body with energy, and are rich in nutrients. In order to ‘snack smart’ choose from the following food categories:

Fruits and Vegetables – These are nutrient dense and have low calories

Whole grains­ – Rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates for an efficient energy boost

Dairy– Great source of protein which helps to reduce your hunger hormones

Nuts and Seeds – Provide healthy fat for satiety.

Watching your portion sizes and planning ahead by having healthy choices on hand can make your weight loss or weight maintenance plan successful.

Ghrelin The Weight Loss Sabotaging Hormone


Did you know that your hormones could be sabotaging your weight loss?

Ghrelin is a hunger hormone, which your body secretes more of when you engage in dieting and calorie restriction. Its main function is to stimulate your appetite, making you eat more calories and signaling your body to store fat. Ghrelin also intensifies your hunger, making it very difficult to lose weight. This is why you might be feeling miserable, cranky, ‘hangry’, and unable to lose and keep your weight off for good. Basically, the more you diet, the more your body works against you by making you want to eat more.

You can improve the Ghrelin effect by:
1) Not over restricting your calories
2) Eating enough protein
3) Reducing excess sugar intake
4) Avoiding processed foods
5) Getting adequate sleep
6) Managing your stress levels

It might feel like the cards are stacked against you when it comes to achieving sustainable weight loss, which is why to seek the right expertise and work with a nutrition professional that understands the science of how to lose weight and keep it off for good.

As a Registered Dietitian and Nutrition Expert I understand this science and translate this into practical applications for my clients.
