The Simple Snack To Eat To Drop 2 Pant (or Dress) Sizes (no gym required)

 

By Kevin DiDonato MS, CES--Level 1 Precision Nutrition Certified and Certified Personal Trainer


You’re at the office and the hunger pang seeps in.

You have two choices: You can fight through the hunger OR you can have a small snack.

You weigh the pros and cons…

If you don’t eat a snack, you know you’ll be so hungry when lunch time comes that you will eat everything in sight…

But on other hand, if you have the small snack, you know you’ll be content for a couple hours and make it to lunch with no issues.

So, which do you choose?

A Small Snack In Between

For many people, during the mid-morning and mid-afternoon time periods, the familiar feeling starts to creep its way into their stomach.

You know, that mild – or severe – feeling that if you don’t eat, you’re not going to make it through the rest of the day.

Most people grab something healthy – an apple or a handful of nuts – while others make the short trek to the vending machine and grab whatever looks appealing.

For those who have the healthier snack, they may find that their appetites are satisfied; and, when they do eat their next meal, they may even eat LESS at that meal.

The reason for better appetite satisfaction happens to be protein.

The other group may not fare so well!

They may eat anything and everything they can to satisfy their cravings!  And this may lead them to gain fat and gain more weight compared to their healthier counterparts.

But now, a new study shows that if you have a small snack of whey protein combined with polydextrose, then you may have a better time managing your energy intake for the rest of the day.

The researchers wanted to see the effects of eating a whey protein bar – at mid-morning or mid-afternoon time – and how it would affect energy intake for the rest of the day.

Here’s what they found…

They found that lean men, who consumed the whey protein bar, had lower energy intake during the 14 experimental days of the study.

They also noticed that men who ate the whey protein mixed bar, had lower levels of ghrelin (appetite stimulating hormone), and glucose and higher levels of glucagon like peptide 1 and peptide tyrosine-tyrosine responses.

They concluded: “The manipulation of the composition of foods consumed as snacks is an effective way to limit subsequent energy intake.”

Lose Even MORE with Whey

If you’re looking to lose more fat this year, then eating a small snack during the morning and afternoon time may be the key.

But not just any snack…

Including a snack of whey protein may result in less energy intake (food consumed) throughout the day.

And when there is less energy consumed during the day, it may lead to greater weight and fat loss.

So, if you’re looking to lose more weight this year, then consider having a small snack – during the mid-morning and mid-afternoon hours.
