Every day millions of dieters go hungry in the name of weight loss. But the truth is that while skipping meals and starving yourself will make you tired, crabby, and hungry, it won't make you lighter. That's why nutritionist Glassman wants you to ruin your appetite with snacks: studies show that people who snack when they're hungry feel more satisfied and consume fewer calories overall than those who don't. Unlike dieters who are ravenous between meals, snackers eat when their bodies--not the clock--tell them to, so they're less likely to overeat at mealtimes. Snacking wisely--on nutrient-dense foods like the delicious options in this book--keeps you feeling satisfied all day long. Glassman reveals how snacking helps keep your metabolism revved, maintain high energy levels, slow the aging process, put an end to hunger-related mood swings, and eliminate sugar cravings.--From publisher description.
