Are These Snacks Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Goals?
It’s not just the obvious snacks like crisps, chocolate and pastry that are worth avoiding. Those labelled ‘perfect for dieting’, such as ‘low-fat’ or ‘low-calorie’, could ironically be sabotaging your progress. Choosing these foods can trigger MORE cravings, cause bloating and ultimately, slow weight loss progress.
Some 87 per cent of people in the UK admit to snacking between meals, according to a survey from Nestle. And it’s not an inherently bad habit. But your choices could mean the difference between weight loss, and weight gain.
Clarissa Lenherr, a BANT Registered Nutritionist focused on gut health, says: “‘Good snacking’ can help dieters maintain a healthy blood glucose level, can add good nutrition to your day and prevent binge eating at meal times, but eating the ‘wrong’ snacks can have the opposite effect.
