 If you think snacking between meals is bad for your waistline, think again. Weight loss experts – including those at the renowned Mayo Clinic – say snacking can be a valuable part of your weight loss plan.
Well, we do need to add that snacking is a good thing as long as you snack on healthy, nutrient-rich foods rather than salty, fatty and sweet treats like chips, fries or candy bars!
Diet-to-Go has long provided everything an individual needs for his or her main three healthy meals. Recently, we decided to satisfy your hunger for snacks too! (And we have a tasty offer for you at the end of this feature, so read on.)
We LOVE food. So our Executive Chef, John Stewart, and I volunteered to scour the planet to find the best snacks that we could offer our Customers. Okay, so we did most of our research from our office computers, but let me assure you that our virtual safari for snacks was just as fruitful as the real deal!
The end result: we are now offering snack items we feel confident enough about to put our name behind! The providers of these items should be proud they made the grade with Diet-to-Go. We are as picky about our snacks as we are about our meals –as you know, our low-fat and vegetarian meals meet or exceed the guidelines set by several major health organizations, including the American Heart Association.
We promise that you’ll find our snacks totally delicious. My personal favorite is the Almond Butter Ball which is so filling and ooey-gooey good! The nutritional information is a good fit too: 170 calories, 8g fat, 21g carbs: 5g fiber: 5g protein, and 8g sugar.
I grab one of these for my late afternoon snack and find that if I eat this before I go home; I avoid that hunger-driven crazy snacking while I’m preparing dinner for the kids. It holds me over just enough to prevent a binge that would weigh me down mentally and physically.
Our most popular snack - hands down - is the Chocolate Brownie. We bake them fresh in-house. You can’t imagine the delectable aroma that makes concentrating on work extra tough on the days we bake our brownies! They are definitely delectable – as good as any brownie you can find on the market only with fewer calories!
Our snacks are also a perfect fit for those of you who need to pad your recommended calorie goals for the day.
Still feeling guilty about your desire to snack? Check this out:
According to the Mayo Clinic, “Though you may feel guilty about snacking, snacks aren't necessarily bad. In fact, mini meals several times a day can help manage hunger and reduce bingeing.
“The key to incorporating snacks into your weight-loss plan is to plan them with variety, moderation and balance in mind.”
So now that you know snacking fits into a healthy eating plan, please try our new snacks! We’re so confident you’ll like them, we’ve whipped up a special offer just for you: Order any of our snacks and we’ll give you a second order (of another snack of our choice) FOR FREE!
