End Winter Weight Gain With Healthy Snacking

Written by Kathryn Martyn, M.NLP

It's that time of year we all start thinking about putting on a healthy layer of fat, just like repparttar

hibernating bears. From a nip in repparttar 131360

air to a massive snow and ice storm, there is a palpable difference in repparttar 131361

air. We've generally accepted that it is nature's way of helping us provide a little extra winter fat, storing up for repparttar 131362

winter, just in case. But how long since you last had a food shortage or had to wait out repparttar 131363

winter for your next meal?

This year can be different.

Today consider making one small change. When you make a small change, it is easier to handle, you are more likely to incorporate it into your daily life and you are more likely to succeed, than if you try to make a global change to your whole way of being.

Instead of taking something away, start by adding more fresh fruit and vegetables to your diet. Just for today, throw out your rules, if you typically follow a diet that forbids fruit or fresh vegetables because fresh foods are too important to miss. Fresh foods are sweet, satisfying and full of vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids, and other things that your body requires for optimum health.

Choose a few you particularly enjoy. This time of year apples are great, citrus fruits, bananas are available year-round. Get some fresh fruits you like and start carrying a food sack everywhere you go. Try little packages of baby carrots, or cut up cauliflower and broccoli. A fellow I know always has a bagful of chopped cauliflower, carrots, and others vegis he munches on. That's smart.
