Snacking

bethanyplummerxo

when I'm at work, everyone brings in chocolate and I'm an absolute sucker for it. Have been ever since I started working there. Since dieting if I don't have any of the chocolate people bring I start to feel pretty tired without the usual sugar rush. What can I do/eat instead to keep from flagging?

Try a fat and protein based snack instead.... Or eat bigger meals and don't snack? I prefer bigger meals - when I ate lots of meals a day my energy levels went up and down like a yo yo.

I stick to protein and fat based meals earlier in the day and have carbs more around training (at night for me)..... Less energy issues!

I find that fatty foods just drag me down and make me feel even more tired. Even the stuff with natural fats!

Sugar rush is going to be psychological. If you've got yourself trained to it, you can just eat a much smaller amount of the same.....

My advice is to bring a chocolate protein shake that you can actually enjoy! The worst is when you're eating foods that you have to "tolerate" because of taste!

fruits.... apples, mangos, grapes, strawberries... they fill u up and has that sweetness. oh and very low in cals and nutritious and easy to eat
