Snack Options:
I promised to be completely honest in this blog, so I'm not going to lie. When you first start out, a smoothie for breakfast and a salad for lunch is NOT going to fill you up. Bloggers that say you'll be "full and satisfied" for the day are most likely stretching the truth. Speaking from personal experience, I find myself getting hungry (especially when I started my health routine). Don't freak out.
Eat one of the following. (By the way, some experts say you should eat smaller meals throughout the day. These snacks will help you get closer to that if you're into it, and you can eat them at your desk. I think it's extremely hard to eat six meals a day, especially if you are working..."can I have four lunch breaks, please?")
A. Cucumbers. Dip them in apple cider vinegar. This also works for celery. The acidity of the vinegar helps break up/dissolve fat and other gross elements in your stomach. Trust me.
B. A serving size of almond butter spread on a serving size of low-sodium wheat crackers. Important: The only element in almond butter should be almonds and a TINY bit of salt. If the almond butter you buy or make yourself has any other ingredients, DO NOT BUY. IT IS AN ALMOND BUTTER OF LIES.
C. A small portion of Greek yogurt. Check the serving size, guys. Some yogurt is deceiving. You should have one serving of the greek yogurt at the most. Greek is important. Regular or light yogurt is NOT worth it. Greek yogurt contains healthier nutrients that will sustain you longer.
D. A handful of frozen almonds. On a hot day, these guys are yummy.
E. A paper cup full of watermelon chunks, fresh raspberries, walnuts, and blueberries. Party in a cup.
