Snack Your Way To Weight Loss Success

The key to your success on a diet is to create a way of eating that suits you as an individual.  Once you decide your diet "style" then you can activate your plan.  There are people that are used to a certain way of life that revolves around breakfast lunch and dinner.  This is perfect for them.  They will do have the most success if they make some substitutions in their diet to "lighter" versions of foods.  This means choosing food that has less fat and sugar.  Another very important element for these people is portion control.  Many people can continue to eat what they eat now if they cut their portions way down.  This does not address people that have what they consider to be "food addictions" but that is another topic that will not be addressed in this article.  On the other end of the spectrum are snack people, or grazers that tend to eat through out the day.  It can be advantageous to be a grazer if you choose the right foods.

If you have any type of condition where you need to keep track of your blood sugar, snacking or small meals may be a good choice for you.  Eating every couple of hours helps to keep your metabolism elevated.  You see, when you eat, your body actually burns calories to digest the food you have eaten.  This way you keep burning calories.  Of course, if you add a small burst of exercise to this, you'll burn up even more.  Another bonus to eating often is that you won't get excessively hungry so you are less likely to binge.  Clearly, if you are a grazer then you can lose lots of weight, however you need to be conscious about what you snack on and the amount of food that you snack on.

You may be tired of hearing this, but fruits and vegetables are always great choices.  In order to make these choices more filling, add some protein.  Some examples of this are an apple with a teaspoon or two of peanut butter, strawberries and low fat cottage cheese,  large lettuce leafs with lean slices of turkey or vegetarian turkey slices and finally carrot or celery sticks dipped in yogurt.  Of course, the choices are endless.  It's important to keep sliced fruits and vegetables on hand.  You can buy them pre-sliced if you're short on time.  It's essential that you shop carefully so that you have great fresh healthy food on hand.

One of the newest items in the markets lately are the pre-measured snacks.  An example of this is snack cookies or crackers in small pouches which measure out a portion.  This can be a good thing.  If you choose to purchase this type of snack, make sure that it doesn't contain transfats.  This is the type of food to use a a desert or a once per day treat.  One of the best things about this type of product is it really shows you what a true portion is.

If this type of eating appeals to you but is a new concept, keep a food diary for about a week where you record what you ate, the portion size, when you ate it and how you felt when you ate it.  This will help you track your progress.  If you decide to weigh yourself everyday, see how you do after 2 weeks.  Other people use the fit of their clothes or some monthly tape measurements to see if they are losing weight.  However you decide to measure, try snacking to melt away your extra weight.
