HEALTHY SNACKS
Snacking should be as mandatory as
breakfast.
Dietitian Rachel Beller, a nutritionist on The
Biggest Loser, told Redbook magazine that
grazing during the day has big impact. If you
get too hungry between meals, that can
deplete your willpower and make you
consume more calories overall. The trick to
snacking for health? Choose nutrient-rich
foods and filling combos of protein and
fiber, like these popular picks from top
dietitians and weight-loss bloggers.
