Satisfy your cravings with healthy snacks and low on calories
Apr 28th
If you always fall into a yo-yo diet, it’s about time to concentrate on your food and how you take them. In case hunger strikes during the night, instead of taking those chocolate bars, why not grab or prepare yourself some healthy snacks. They are easy to make too.
Here are 6 healthy snacks for you to try at home and they are all under 200 calories.
Fruit and nut mix – combine 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots, 1 tbsp each golden and dark raisins and 1 tbsp toasted almond silvers for a mineral-rich office healthy snack.
Veggie sticks and salsa – Cut 1 large carrot and 1 stalk celery into long sticks. Serve with 1/2 cup vegetable dip salsa.
Easy smoothie – Blend 1/2 banana, 1 cup vanilla soy milk and 1/2 cup strawberries for a quick pick-me-up.
Fruit sundae – Combine 1/2 cup mango slices, 1/2 cup berries and 1 tbsp low-fat yoghurt for a calcium and vitamin C boost.
Yoghurt fix - Sprinkle 1 tbsp granola or muesli over 1 scoop low-fat yoghurt. Drizzle with 1 tsp honey as a wake-me-up bite.
Popcorn delight – Three cups air-popped popcorn seasoned with 1 tbsp salt will fill your rumbling tummy.

Weight Loss Motivation # 6
Apr 21st
Weight loss can be achieved by eating healthy food and in moderation.
If you are careful with what you eat, you will lose weight without realizing it.
Concentrate more on what you put in your mouth rather than worrying your weight. Stress can trigger weight gain so be positive, try to eat balanced meal (protein, carbohydrate, fiber/vegetables and fruits) and once again omit sugar or try to reduce your intake. If you must take something sweet, try honey instead because it’s healthier.
