Want to know some healthy
snacks for your belly
While
i listed some of the good fat burning foods i felt the
need to list down some of the healthy snacks too.
Here
are some more specific snacks you can eat that will
stay in your plan with flattening your tummy and losing
weight. Here are some healthy snack foods you can munch
on without feeling guilty... ;-)
- Popcorn
Don't saturate it in butter and/or salt ,this is a
very healthy snack. It's very high in fiber and low
in calories. The best kind to eat is the air popped
but if you're going to pop it on the stove make sure
you use oils with monosaturated fats like canola or
olive oil. Be careful with microwave popcorn. Check
the labels for sodium and fat content because it varies
from brand to brand.
- Almonds
and Nuts
The nuts contain monosaturated fat. This kind
of fat is actually good for you and can even help
clear your arteries.
Nuts help fill you up and are also high in Vitamin
E, fiber and magnesium.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps fight diseases
such as cancer, asthma, osteoperosis and a host of
other inflammations.
- Sunflower
Seeds
Sunflower seeds contain almost the same characteristics
as nuts do.The best way is to choose the ones with
low or no salt.
Many people like to lick the salt from the shell and
that's when a healthy snack turns into a not-so-healthy
snack.
The salted shells are fine in moderation but just
be sure to limit your consumption.
- Peanut
Butter
Peanut butter is a yummy It has a lot of the same
good qualities as regular nuts, and is great because
it will fill you up quickly.
Peanut butter is high-calorie food. So be sure you
don't overdo it.
You can make it more healthier snack just by adding
it to your fruit, crackers, or even a smoothie.
Acouple of teaspoons of peanut butter has 190 calories
right there and you get a load of protein
- Smoothies
Fruit smoothies are considered as best meal replacement
.
They can contain 400 and 600 calories which will keep
you full for hours.
The benefit to this kind of snack is you can get fruit,
protein, fiber and dairy all in one delicious serving.
Aint it a great choice guys !
Smoothies are very high in sugar - even though most
of it is natural
Sugar turns into fat when it's not burned off so I
wouldn't eat a smoothie everyday. Make sure to order
a "light" or "low sugar" smoothie.
6.Beef Jerky
How many of you know that beef jerky can be a healthy
snack too ?
On average one ounce of jerky contains about 70-80
calories, 12 grams of protein and around 1 gram of
fat.
The regular grocery stores generally have jerkies
with high sodium so better checkout from where to
get healthy one .
- Low
Fat Yogurt
An 8-ounce cup of yogurt generally contains 2-3 grams
of fat and around 150 calories.
Right option than something like ice cream.
A recent study showed people that consumed three servings
of light yogurt daily as part of a reduced-calorie
diet lost about 20 percent more weight than those
who only cut calories.
Keep this in mind that--------
A flat stomach is a process of TOTAL BODY FITNESS -
not just from spot toning your stomach with crunches.
Consult your physician too
