Most of us are focused on losing those extra pounds from holiday eating. Well here is a quick tip on how to do that when snacking.<\/p>\n
The time of day you eat a snack could impact losing weight.<\/strong><\/p>\n A study in the December 2011 Journal of the American Dietetic Association<\/em> concluded: If you snack mid morning, you won’t lose weight as well as if you snack other times of the day.<\/p>\n Here is why: Mid morning snacking tends to lead to on-going nibbling all day. And if you snack frequently, you take in more calories, unless you snack on the right foods.<\/p>\n Dietitians recommend low-calorie snacks (100-200) calories that have nutritional value. Or combine a protein, carb and a little fat.
