3. Snack wisely
Avoid mid-morning snacking. A one year long study has shown that women who did not snack between breakfast and lunch lost on average 4% more body weight in comparison to mid-morning snackers.[6] But waiting too long between meals can also sabotage weight loss efforts. Snacking can help you manage your hunger better and help in making healthier choices at your next meal.
Choosing healthy snacks is important. Avoid junk food snacks and snack instead on nuts like pistachios and low calorie fruit such as apples, which contain a soluble fiber called pectin. Pectin promotes satiety (the feeling of fullness), and helps to slow down digestion.[7]
What can you do? Get into the habit of not snacking before lunchtime and always keep healthy snacks on hand to avoid the temptation of indulging in junk food snacks
