Scooby Snacks

Well okay……we’re not dogs…I just thought that was a cute title for this weeks blog. So I’m on a snack thing. Snacks sound bad right? cookies, cakes, pudding, chips, snickers and sh*t like that right? but no my friends there are such things as healthy snacks.

In the past week my friend Telaya and I have been going over the idea of snacks. She’s actually been eating snacks. What is this fascination I have with scooby snacks? well it is true that your metabolism keeps burning when there is something  to burn. Usually, we have the mindset of eating three times a day or get it in where you can fit it in (meaning grubb). But here’s the kicker. If you eat 5 small meals a day this will do the following:

1. Eating frequently prevents hunger pangs and curbs over eating.

2. Eating more often keeps your metabolism working quickly so you burn calories more efficiently.

3. Food is also absorbed more efficiently and quickly when we eat regularly.

So having said that it’s time to EAT!!! Now that doesn’t mean eat like you’re  about to walk the green mile either…it just means eat small meals a day. This will lend to weight loss because of burning metabolism. Now considering I had Indian Food today and I had a gang of it in one sitting I should be the first cat to take my own admonition today huh?

Oh and here are some ideas for healthy snacks; natural peanut butter, beef jerky, pepperoni, string cheese, sugar free pudding, fruits and vegetables, cream cheese ball (made out of cream cheese, scallions and lunch meat in moderation), tuna and crackers, 100 calorie packs. Now those 100 calories packs of pastries MUST be in moderation as well. Hell, I don’t know if I’m telling yall or me cause I can eat the stank off a whole box!!!

So those are ideas folks. Well, I hope you either learned something new or remembered something you’ve forgotten. Until next time happy and healthy eating. Samooches
