Snacks can be a "good thing" for Your Weight Loss plan
Ever hear someone say "Don't snack before dinner you'll ruin your appetite"? What a glorious thought - that you can 'ruin your appetite' !!
If you snack shortly before dinner, this can be a helpful thing. Just be careful what you snack on. Most green vegetables are a good choice for this. Keeping cut vegetables handy in your refrigerator is a good weight loss tip. If you are too busy to prepare cut vegatables to keep in your refrigerator, many grocery stores sell cut/prepared raw vegatables in trays "ready to eat" and these can be kept in your refrigerator for a few days.
A few vegetables that are good snacks - healthy and low sugar content:
- Broccoli
- Celery
- Radishes
- Cauliflower
- Cucumbers
- green onions
And you can snack on these healthy vegetables "sparingly":
- carrots
- tomatoes - the cherry (small) tomatoes are great for just 'one bite' (as tomatoes are actually a fruit and are high in sugar)

Fats and Healthy Eating Habits
Saturated fatty acids - the "bad fats" - are found mainly in animal foods (eg. meat, cheese) and are solid at room temperature. Saturates also include "trans-fats". These are "transformed" from polyunsaturated vegetable oils into saturated fats by an industrial process called hydrogenation. They are found in processed foods like cookies, pies, cakes, candy and chips.
Saturated fats (including trans fats) are the least healthy type of dietary fat. An excessive intake of saturated fat is linked to elevated cholesterol levels, clogging of the arteries leading to coronary heart disease and stroke. With a couple of exceptions, (palm oil, coconut oil) saturates are found only in animal foods and is typically solid at room temperature. Since our body manufactures its own saturated fat we don't need to include any in our diet. For optimum heart health reduce your saturated fat intake, especially if you suffer from hypertension or high serum cholesterol, or have problems with fat-metabolism.
