Apples are a great snack to have around. I especially like to refrigerate them so they are cold and crisp. In the evenings when I get that urge to snack on something I simply keep a bag of apples in the crisper and pull one out and my cravings are taken care of.
In the past, I would pick something processed and salty and pay for it in extra weight and water retention. It is strange how when you eat these processed foods, you can never seem to stop when you start. The apple makes a lot more sense. Actually, any fruit would make more sense then downing a bag of chips or pretzels.
You can over-do it on fruit as well. In my diet plan I am only suppose to have 4 fruit a day. I just spread them out over the day.
This is one of our favorite foods. Our local Diet Center sells Orange Muffins in a package of six. Essie and I each eat one muffin in the morning for breakfast and it counts as one starch and 1/2 fruit. We simply budget in this purchase in our food costs for the week.
These muffins are very satisfying and they do have other flavors, we simply have gravitated to the orange.
One of the important lessons I’ve come to learn is that it is critical to keep healthy snacks available rather then count on the processed food snacks you can buy.
Carrots are currently my favorite, as well as the boys. They love to grab a couple and just munch on them like others eat cookies.
