10 ideas for guilt-free snacking)
Enjoy your favorite snacks without worry by following these simple steps:
1. Include snacks as part of your meal plan.
2. Plan ahead so you have foods you like on hand when you want them.
3. Put your snack on a plate to help you eat the right amount.
4. Make snacking a conscientious activity—avoid snacking
absentmindedly while watching television or reading, for example.
5. Choose lower-fat snacks because they’re lower in calories.
6. Pick nutrient-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
7. Eat meals regularly because that helps limit snacks.
8. If craving a high-carbohydrate food, substitute it for planned carbs.
9. Keep food in cupboards or the refrigerator—out of sight, out of mind.
10. Discuss your snack habits with your diabetes educator, who can adjust
your meal plan or medication to maintain good blood glucose levels.
