Healthful SnacksStaying away from healthful snacks before a meal is not the best choice for controlling your appetite. A hand full of almonds are ideal to curb your appetite and prevent over eating when it comes time to eat. Whole-grain snacks are rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates. Fruits and vegetables provides a feeling of fullness with no fat and only a small number of calories. eeds provide protein, which helps keep you feeling fuller longer. Nuts and seeds contain mostly monounsaturated fat, a healthy kind of fat. Cheese, yogurt and other dairy products are good sources of calcium and protein, plus a variety of other vitamins and minerals. Dairy products can be high in fat, so choose the low-fat versions. The key here is moderation. A little goes a long way. Don't ever grocery shop when you are hungry, plan to have a snack available before you enter the store. Planing to have snacks handy and already proportioned is another key to successful hunger management. After you do it twice it will become second nature. Don't forget to buy baggies.
