Snacking on whole foods can curb cravings and support weight management from "summary" of Peak Nutrition by Maria Hines,Mercedes Pollmeier
When hunger strikes between meals, it can be tempting to reach for a bag of chips or a candy bar. However, snacking on whole foods can be a much better choice for both your health and your waistline. Whole foods are nutrient-dense and provide your body with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These nutrients can help to curb cravings by satisfying your body's needs for specific nutrients. For example, if you are craving something sweet, reaching for a piece of fruit can help satisfy that craving in a healthy way.
In addition, whole foods are typically lower in calories and higher in fiber than processed snacks. This means that they can help you feel full and satisfied for longer, reducing the likelihood of overeating or reaching for unhealthy snacks later on.
By choosing whole foods as snacks, you can support your weight management goals by making healthier choices throughout the day. Instead of consuming empty calories and added sugars, you are fueling your body with real, nutritious food that can help you maintain a healthy weight.
Next time you feel a craving coming on, try reaching for a handful of nuts, a piece of cheese, or some sliced vegetables with hummus. These whole food snacks can help you stay on track with your health goals while keeping you satisfied until your next meal.
