Snacks
Longer daylight hours and can lend to more snacking. The goal is to choose snacks that don’t stimulate insulin. Remember these 3 tips to do just that: ⠀
- No “naked carbs”
- If you want a food that is higher in carbs (fruit, grains, sweets) add a fat or protein to buffer the glucose absorption. So if I am using the term “naked carbs,” this would be an example of putting some clothes on my carbs. Get it?
- Better yet, have a protein or high-fat food like nuts or cheese with some vegetables to hold you over until your next meal.
Remember, snacks are bridges to our next meal, not a mini-meal and also it is okay to be hungry (I wouldn’t say famished). The best ingredient in a meal is an appetite. What are you snacking on this season? ⠀
