I was waiting in line at the grocery store today and picked up a mag to read. In the inevitable diet article they were talking about healthy snacks. They were suggesting combining certain things to help cut hunger (not to lose weight, I remember that fad diet). This makes sense: don't just eat an apple but add 1 Tbsp peanut butter; the apple raises your blood sugar then causes it to drop causing you to feel hungry again. The peanut butter (protein) slows the rise and fall of blood sugar. The other one was 100 cal yogurt and 1/4 cup bran nuggets (I forget what those little hard things are called). Again this prevents spikes and drops of blood sugar. There were a lot more but it was my turn to check out so I put the mag back. (Stupid-I should have bought it!) Can't remember which mag.
So my question: what other combos would be healthy? Peach, if you see this I know you'll have some good ideas. I know there were some with veggies & ??
Thanks again guys for the help. Hope everyone is eating well and if not losing at least feeling great!
