Let's see, you have brushed your teeth, because studies have shown that a reason we get hungry late at night is because we don't brush our teeth immediately after eating our dinner. This in turn leaves food on your tongue triggering your tastebuds to tell your brain that you are hungry. That didn't work. So then you drank a nice, tall glass of water, nope, still hungry.
So what do you do, make a late night McDonald's or Taco Bell run. Possibly grab that bag of Doritos out of the pantry. Yeah we all have done it, anything to satisfy that hunger bug. Because if you don't you won't be able to get a good nite's rest.
Now the guilt kicks in because you've just ruined a weeks worth of hard work. You start thinking to yourself, are there any healthy options, no matter what time of day it is? What are the best snacks when you are on a diet, besides rabbit food?
In the simplest form, the answer is YES. There are options. Just because you are dieting does not mean don't eat, in fact it's the complete opposite. You can actually learn how to strip away fat, while still eating and getting the body you truly deserve.
Here is a short list of some of the best snacks for dieters!
1. Fruits and/or Veggies - Yep, they are a classic snack to add to any regime for fighting hunger. Add some berries to yogurt, or have some a tablespoon of natural peanut butter with some celery or carrots. Switch it up and eat up.
2. Nuts, Almonds, etc. - Almonds, cashews, walnuts, peanuts, etc. They are all great, but without the salt. And no Almond Joys don't count either. Eat them by themselves, or bake them with your favorite spice, you can even eat them in a omelet.
3. Smoothies - This is number 1 on my list. The great thing about them is that they are so versatile. There are tons of varieties you can make, and you can have them as a snack, or as a meal. The important thing is that they fill you up, and you get all of your essential nutrients in them. Oh and they taste great!
