We all do it - snacking! The question is, are we really hungry when we reach for a snack. The answer is sometimes yes, but more often, no. Before you reach for your next snack, ask yourself the following question. Am I really hungry? Think about that for a couple seconds and you will often find the answer is, no. Sometimes we snack out of boredom. If boredom is the reason you are reaching for a snack, go for a walk, call a friend, watch a movie, etc. instead of eating. Sometimes we snack when we are really just thirsty. Before grabbing an unhealthy snack, drink some water, have a cup of tea and see if your desire for a snack fades away. If you truly are hungry instead of grabbing an unhealthy snack, try some fresh veggies, a handful of nuts, a low-fat cheese stick, or a piece of fruit.
