Redefine what a snack means to you. A snack is something that satisfies that “I just need a little something” voice inside. It could be as unimaginative as raw veggie sticks or traveling a few rungs up the indulgence ladder to a mix of dried fruit with or with nuts and seeds.
Try to make your snacks something that will really give you a weight loss boost rather than something that’s high fat, high calorie, or on the UnDiet borderline.
