Christmas Eve is 3 days away...Is your fridge stocked with healthy snacks?

As many of us are well aware Christmas time is loaded with many temptations and we have to be wise about what we chose.  Yes, it is ok to indulge as long as you PLAN for it and do it in moderation.  But we also know that in order to be successful we must chose which treats we want the most because eating every high calorie item in sight will only lead us to dissapointment. 

My suggestion to you is to allow yourself one or two treats, but also pack your fridge full of healthy snacks.  The goal to permanent weight loss success is to ALWAYS plan ahead.  Don't fall into the excuse trap of "I didn't have anything healthy to eat. 

As we all know it is easier to stay on track with our weight loss goal if our kitchen is stocked with healthy snacks.  Below is a list of snacks I suggest you stock your fridge, not only at Christmas time but year round as well.

Fresh vegetables
Hard Boiled Eggs
Reduced Fat Mozzarella Cheese Sticks (Weight Watchers makes a very low calorie cheese)
Sliced lean deli meat: turkey--98% fat free (Oscar Meyer has a thin sliced turkey that is 98% fat free and it wonderful!
Hummus
Edamame (You can usually find these in the frozen section at your local grocery store)
Fat Free or Low Fat Cottage Cheese
Low Sodium Tomato Juice
Fresh Fruit
Fat Free Yogurt (Fiber 1, Weight Watchers or Light and Fit are my recommendations)
Whole Grain Crackers
High-fiber, whole-grain cereal (look for ones with at least 3 grams of fiber and less than 8 grams of sugar)
Whole-wheat bread

 Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

To Your Weight Loss Success!!
