Snacks can play a big role in a weight loss journey by helping you stay full between your main meals. But there are two big questions to tackle:
Below are key strategies and tips that work for people, inspired by the experiences of the Fitmate community.
The key to a snack that keeps you full is focusing on lean proteins and/or fiber-rich foods.
These nutrients are proven to curb hunger while providing long-lasting energy, making them essential in any weight loss strategy.
These strategies were generated by Fitmate members during their weightloss journey. We selected those that successfully helped them hit their weekly heathy routines that involved smoothies.
