I know some of you are finding it hard to eat healthy snacks, especially when you have those savory or sweet cravings. Depending on what you’re craving, THAT is what your body is low on. Need a salt fix? Don’t reach for the potato chips, grab a pickle or two. It will satisfy that craving without you eating a whole bag. Sweet tooth acting up? Grab a couple frozen strawberries or raspberries or a spoonful or two of avocado pudding and you won’t want that cupcake or chocolate bar any longer.
Remember switching up the foods in your diet is just as important as working out. When you eat the same thing every day your body gets used to it which means it won’t burn as many calories digesting it. In the end, you are not keeping yourself in the fat-burning zone. Whether you want to lose weight or just keep toning that sexy body of yours, you need to keep your body guessing. It’s like men, the more you keep them guessing and on their toes, the harder they work to meet your needs :)
