Wil je wat gewicht verliezen, maar kan je maar niet stoppen met snacken? Misschien hoeft dat ook niet! Wanneer je de juiste snack uitkiest kan dit zorgen
Want to lose some weight, but can't stop snacking? Maybe you don't have to! Picking the right snack can help keep you feeling full for longer, according to Roberta Re, Ph.D., nutrition research manager at Leatherhead Food Research in Surrey, England. According to Re, snacking plays a major factor in gaining weight. However, if you opt for, for example, (unsalted) peanuts, nuts or other fiber-rich snacks, this can cause your total food intake to decrease throughout the day. Re cited a study in which participants ate almonds as a morning snack, which resulted in participants feeling full longer and eating fewer calories during lunch and dinner. A small side note that must be made here is that peanuts and nuts often contain a lot of calories by themselves. However, they are packed with healthy (essential) nutrients. So swap the chips or candy for peanuts, nuts or something similar to take a step in the right direction. But here too the following applies: snack in moderation, enjoy!
