Snacking is and was one of the most problematics issues in my journey to be fit and healthy but I was able to learn how to prepare snacks, measure them and what time is the best time to have them.
I am now in my vacations and committed to not to derail myself from my hard work since 2 months ago, so after reading, experimenting and paying attention to my body and mind I was able to make a decision, I will be snacking 80% of my day while on vacation.
WHAT!!!!????
Yes, snacking most of the day.
So I went from chips to cashews, salted almonds to unsalted ones, lots of hard veggies like carrots and celery, green apples and lots of water.
This may sound like a torture for many but let me explain you the reason why I am doing this.
Cravings are not a sign of hunger but a way boredom shows to our door and sometimes when we are not focus we response to that just opening a bag of our favorite chips, and we munch on it until the last one.... then we want more.
So as many you know I packed my apartment pantry with thoughtful healthy snacks (look at my last blog for the list) and the reason why is to keep my cravings to level 0, so I don't think about food, AT ALL.
So far is working.
I snack all day long and then have a healthy meal, like protein and salad, lots of protein and salad.
Some of the snack are:
Cashews
Almonds
Home-made pop corn
Carrots
Green Apples with PB
Celery
P90X Bars (they are amazing!)
Shakeology
I feel in control, I feel balanced and most of all I feel free, free of food, drinks, and outside stimulation.
Please reach out to me any time for advice and guidance, I was there and I struggled and still do my much stronger now with knowledge, ready to help others to achieve their goals!
