Snacks

Americans spend $10 billion a year on salted snack foods such as potato chips, pork rinds, popcorn, and the like. And we spend at least that much more on sweet snacks.

Most Americans, children or adults, have no real idea what i's like to be hungry. From birth kids are fed almost constantly. The habit carries on through the years. We have become a nation of grazers.

But "grazing" is supposed to be a good way to lose weight! You eat a litle avary hour or so, all day. That way, you don't get hungry, so you don't overeat.

Actually, the calories gained from snacks and beverages can add up to more calories than some people should eat all day!

To fight for snack attack.....,

drink a big glass of water. It has no calories and requires no digestion. It passes right through, giving everything a good rinse.

but the best way is to remember that the calories you save by shunning snacks will gradually melt off unwanted bulges. No more doubt that the bigger the snacks, the bigger the slacks.
