healthy snacks and healthy daily habits
During the pandemic most of us were on Furlough or working from home and for me personally eating unhealthy snacks was a daily habit, mainly from boredom. As part of our free coaching plans we suggest that you use the free myfitnesspal app/website to track your daily eating habits (No cheating.). Also, think about what triggers your habit, for example every afternoon when I made a cup of tea, it was an automatic habit to pick up the biscuits. On my book recommendation page, I suggested reading the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. It is a really interesting concept about habits and the daily triggers that we subconsciously execute every day.
I suggest using your own journal to review your daily eating habits, for example do you always have a croissant with your morning coffee or buy chocolate every afternoon when you feel short of energy. I also suggest reading my article about my food intolerance test and review with a nutritionist and how it prompted me to change my eating habits.
A few ideas for healthy snacks
Mixed Nuts: A handful of mixed nuts like almonds, walnuts, and pistachios provides a good dose of healthy fats, fiber, and protein.
Greek Yogurt with Berries: Opt for plain Greek yogurt and top it with fresh berries like blueberries or strawberries. It's rich in protein and antioxidants.
Hummus with Veggies: Enjoy hummus with raw vegetable sticks such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers. It's a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Whole Grain Crackers with Avocado: Choose whole grain crackers and top them with mashed avocado. Avocado provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
Kale Chips: Bake kale leaves with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt until they become crispy. They are a nutritious alternative to potato chips.
I have just included a few examples above but I suggest that you experiment and introduce healthy snacks that you enjoy and fit into your lifestyle.
