How to lose abdominal weight and fix diet?
I have recently noticed that during the day I eat a lot of snacks. I think it’s also that when I’m studying I want to snack on something and keep myself busy. But wanting something to eat (besides breakfast, lunch, and dinner) usually ends up meaning walking to the kitchen, not finding anything too satisfactory, and grabbing a BAD food item, whether it’s a cookie, some chips, or a granola bar.
So for all those good-snackers out there: what should i do? What are some good snacks you munch on when working? I was thinking carrots and light ranch?? but anything else you guys suggest? I am trying to lose abdominal weight. So any ideas contributed to losing abdominal weight would be good too.
Also, has anyone tried writing down what they eat? I’ve tried. but I don’t really know how to use that data once i’ve written it. So, how can I use writing everything i eat to my advantage?
Thanks everyone. 10 points will be awarded to the best answer.
Hi
The munchies can blow anyones healthy eating plan but I do have some ideas.
Firstly I like the idea of recording what you eat - but doing it the other way round. The Diet in the reference credit gives you a sheet of what you should eat for the day and another one of weekly food and you just tick them off as you use up your allowance. So simple and it takes the guess work out of it.
But other than that here are some good snacks:
* 1 Tablespoon of pine nuts - keeps you fuller longer and 1 TBSP is only about 50 Cal’s
* 1 hard boiled egg - again the protein keeps you full and at 90 Cal’s.
* Granny smith apple - about 90 Cal’s again but the crunchiness and the tart taste
take away the cravings.
* 1/4 cup of pop corn air popped in a pop corn maker .
* 1 desp of really good quality Olive oil - just drink it off the spoon - good for the skin also.
* If the weather is cold have lots of vegetable based soup for lunch - not the creamy type.
* If you are really craving something sweet have a sweet banana.
* 10 little rice crackers ( plain) with hummus.
Best of luck with your efforts.
