Win the Snack Attack: 17 Healthy Snacks to Keep You Trim

 

(FeatureSource) Rummaging through the cupboard in search of a healthy snack?

Don’t let nighttime nibbles add extra pounds. Instead, curb cravings with

munchies guaranteed to satisfy hunger and keep you slim.

 

“Eating for optimal weight and health doesn’t have to be a difficult task,” says

weight loss guru Carson Burke, author of “Thin Lies Within: 6 Universal

Principles of Weight Loss and Well Being” (1st Books Library, $22.95,

www.thinlieswithin.com.). “You just need to learn which foods are nutritional

powerhouses and which are nutritionally bankrupt.”

 

A nationally recognized weight management and lifestyle consultant, Carson

Burke’s unique strategies for losing weight and staying fit have helped hundreds

of clients reach and maintain their weight-loss goals.

 

Unlike other weight-loss consultants, Burke explores the physical, mental and

spiritual motives that drive overeating, inactivity and the powerlessness to

change. Her innovative holistic approach provides a fresh, effective and

comprehensive plan for losing weight and improving life.

 

In her practice, Burke sees many clients struggle with snacking. When zapped

with the snack attack, Burke says to stop and determine if your body is really

in need of food and energy. Ask yourself two questions: “Am I really hungry?”

and “Why do I want to eat right now?”

 

If you really are hungry, avoid the temptation to indulge in “bad” snacks (like

candy bars, chips or doughnuts). Keep the refrigerator stocked with fresh fruits

and veggies, and fill the pantry with rice and grains.

 

“Cook large bags of frozen vegetables and bake extra white and sweet potatoes,”

says Burke. “Keep canned beans on hand to utilize as a quick, great source of

protein.”

 

Here Burke shares 17 of her favorite snacks, all guaranteed to curb your

cravings without adding extra pounds. Stock them at home, and when possible, at

work.

 

Organic Whole-wheat pretzels

 

Brown rice cake topped with organic nonfat cottage cheese and chopped vegetables

 

Fresh organic Fruit

 

Low-fat or baked non-gmo corn chips with guacamole/salsa/organic bean dip

 

A small handful of non-gmo soy nuts

 

Plain Low-fat organic yogurt topped with berries

 

Organic whole grain crackers topped with hummus

 

Whole-grain organic muffin topped with apple butter

 

Fruit salad topped with organic nonfat yogurt and chopped walnuts

 

Organic popcorn

 

Whole-wheat pita bread, toasted and spread with hummus

 

Organic whole grain bran muffins

 

Celery sticks stuffed with non-hydrogenated nut butter or hummus and topped with

dried fruit

 

Organic Baked sweet potato topped with nonfat cottage cheese

 

Organic Whole-grain cereal with non-gmo soymilk and fresh fruit

 

 

 

Carson says our bodies are designed for frequent refueling in order to keep

hormone levels steady and to maximize mental and physical energy. Eating light,

nourishing meals interspersed with healthy snacks to keep hunger at bay can help

prevent you from indulging in uncontrollable eating at a later time.
