Snacking For Fat Loss: 3 Tips to Avoid Weight Gain

Snacking is crucial for keeping metabolism strong, but most get it wrong, leading to weight gain.

"Your snacks should contain very little or zero added sugars... Many 'healthy' foods have massive amounts of added sugars." - Fred Sassani, founder of Bodies By Design

Tips:

1. Avoid sugar: It's the #1 enemy. Many "healthy" options like protein bars, dried fruit, and juice are loaded with sugar and preservatives. Opt for protein, fiber, and complex carbs instead.

2. Portion control: Packaged foods often list >1 serving, so calculate total calories/nutrients. Keep portions petite to boost metabolism without extra calories.

3. Natural is best: Choose whole foods or homemade snacks. Even "healthy" packaged bars have preservatives/additives. Nuts, fruit with nut butter, hard-boiled eggs, or chicken on veggies are better options.

Your body and fitness goals will thank you. For personalized plans, consult a certified fitness and nutrition specialist.
