“Snack food smarts - unhealthy snack replacements”
Snacking between meals does not have to be unhealthy, in fact, snacking is a good thing, as it keeps the blood sugar levels regulated and helps to prevent more weight gain. It sounds contrary, but it really isn't. Blood sugar levels need to be consistent and regular to ensure that there is no spike in insulin (to drop the blood sugar levels back to normal), as a continuation of this very irregular rate of insulin and glucose can cause some people to develop insulin resistance, which if it is not managed, can develop into diabetes type 2.
So, in order to keep blood sugar levels at a steady rate throughout the day, it is important to eat healthy snacks in between the main meals.
This part of the site looks at a variety of unhealthy snack foods, listing their calorie, fat, carbohydrate and protein content and comparing them to much healthier snacks that have better calorie, fat, carbohydrate and protein content, as well as better nutritional value in terms of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, to help with better food choices and aid in managing weight.
