Easy, Healthy Snack Ideas
Letting yourself get too hungry between meals is counterproductive to your weight-loss efforts. You'll simply be tempted to overeat when mealtime comes. That's why The New Sonoma Diet allows snacking. Smart snacks can keep your energy up throughout the day and help you stay on track with making the best food choices. But like most things, snacking is more restricted during Wave 1 than it is during the rest of the diet. Between lunch and dinner, or between breakfast and lunch, you may have a small snack to tide you over.
Always try to include a small amount of protein, such as nuts, dairy, seeds, or even lean meats; they will help satisfy hunger. If you're a big man, or if you are a woman or man who leads a very active life with plenty of exercise, you can expand your snack menu a bit. Here are some possibilities:
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese with Tier 1 raw veggies or one serving of Tier 1 fruits
- 3 ounces of hummus, either homemade or store-bought, with veggies
- Low-fat cheese stick with carrots or celery
- 1 ounce of nuts
- 1 slice of whole-grain bread with one tablespoon of peanut butter and one serving of a Tier 1 fruit
- 2 ounces cooked chicken breast or turkey deli meat
