Health: Its Snack Time!

Snacking is one of the weight watchers' enemies. But it is difficult for me to stop snacks especially come to 4pm or 5pm in the afternoon after my lunch.

One problem with snack is that they are sometimes high in fat and empty calories but so addictive.

But I would like to share some tips how to lose weight by a few kg without having to diet, or exercise or a major life change. One good method that I found is snack swap.

Chocolates, chips, candy and crackers are the mainstay of the five o'clock stress snacker, but they can make up half of our entire daily recommended 2000 calories. One of the solution that work for me is that I get something healthier as my snack like having instant Quaker oats porridge in chicken as my replacement snack. More examples such as a cup of cabbage soup, or carrot, celery or cucumber sticks or wholemeal toast with lettuce..

These are some of the examples that I find in snack swap how many calories we can reduce by making a snack switch. You can try it to see some results

Snack sausage roll - Swap cup a soup - Down 154 calories

Snack potato chip - Swap seaweed rice crackers - Down 273 calories

Snack butter cookies - Swap ginger snaps - Down 140 calories

Snack buttery kaya toast - Swap peanut butter sandwich - Down 1,054 calories

Snack char siew bao - Swap popiah - Down 175 calories

Try some today and continue for a month and share with me your result or if you got any better suggestion, feel free to add your comment below. *Cheer*
