New research shows the more someone snacks the healthier their weight profile is. The idea behind this is not the ability to eat more throughout the day, but to actually use grazing to help keep an individual from gorging and storing.
Smart snacking helps to control the appetite and to reduce large meals where the body ends up storing the glutenous load. High protein and complex carb snacks seem to be the key, not twinkies and zingers. Fruit, veggies, yogurt, nuts and the like fit perfectly into this category. Ideally, you snack never get to a starving feeling and then eat a more moderate amount of calories during a meal.
Down to 235.6. I think I have some nuts!
