in Health and Weight Loss
We all relish snacks. So much so that more than one half of Americans consider them to be excellent meal replacements, if a recent report by Nielsen is to be believed. This isn’t all that bad. Healthy snacks, particularly those rich in protein can dampen appetite, enhance dietary quality and even fast track the weight loss process. Nevertheless, quite a large number of snacks can rapidly lead to weight gain when consumed immoderately. Most of these snacks tend to make us feel that we consuming less calories and therefore lead to weight loss, but some might addictive due to high refined sugars. Below is a review of 20 worst healthy snacks for weight loss, which you should be aware of.

    Those are the 20 worst? Really? Also, I know the jury is still out on MSG, but how many calories are in it, do you think? Yeah, that's what I thought. This article is idiotic.

    I love my snacks. The linked article is just silly. Of course if you eat too many snacks, you'll gain weight--if you have a calorie surplus, you'll gain. I have snacks everyday but stay within my daily calorie limit--I'm eating at a caloric deficit, so I consistently lose weight. :)

    So this article just assumes that people have no self control, by saying "these foods may only have x number of calories, but eat too much of it and you'll get fat" o'rly? Too much of any food can make you fat? I never knew that.

    I didn't get past the part that says almonds are bad for me because they are roasted at high heat.

    Under "Plain Rice Cakes"....... "This means they can offer a rush of energy, but will leave you feeling hungry in just a matter of a few hours after consumption."
    Erm, isn't that absolutely normal? What an idiot.

    Especially since a rice cake is only, like, 35 calories...? I'd say it's a pretty good bang for your (kcal) buck.

    Welcome! Thanks for posting the link to the article.

    It's really easy to be fooled by the nonsense in the article. Food type has nothing to do with weight management, it's all about how much you eat. In other words, you can eat anything you want ad still lose weight as long as you eat less calories than you burn.

    However, I do agree that a lot of those wonderful foods in that article are calorie dense and easy to overeat if one is not paying attention. That's where weighing food on a scale and logging everything you eat comes in, and making sure you are eating correct portions.

    The part I put in bold is silly. Weight gain does not happen rapidly unless you are eating way over your total daily energy expenditure or you have a medical issue that needs attention. :)

    Of course rice cakes are dangerous! I mean, a plain one tastes like cardboard -- so, slather on that peanut butter! hehehehe

    {peanut butter in any form... for me, it's dangerous because I can eat too much without realizing, which is of course the point of using a scale, which I do.}

    1. You're buying the wrong almomds if yours are roasted in oil. Dry roasted almomds are my world

    2. Gluten free isn't synonymous with healthy? Alert the presses!

    3. Are rice cakes still a thing? Does the GI index matter once you put peanut butter on them?

    4. So chocolate chips are fine if I can find them individually wrapped? *wanders off to buy some Hershey's kisses*

    5. When you add calorie-dense foods to frozen yogurt the calories go up? Again, I'll stop the presses for this one.

    6. Granula... I'm done.

    Did anyone actually make it to 20?
