If I star...It's extras that I don't think we need. If I start eating nuts after dinner, never mind that I've eaten a perfectly good dinner, I'll crack and eat half a dozen (or very likely more) just because they're there. <BR/><BR/>If you're overweight and you have a crisp or chocolate digestive habit, you know you won't lose weight until you stop eating them. But if you're constantly chomping on dried fruit and nuts, it doesn't feel like overindulging because they're supposed to be healthy. It's fine if you are eating less at meals to allow for them, but if you eat as much as ever at the meals, you're still not going to lose weight and it makes it harder to keep a tab on your food intake. <BR/><BR/>If you're at your right weight and eat fairly sparingly, I agree entirely that you might need to eat something in between main meals. It's the grazing without a limit that needs to be watched, I think.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970735824137943749.post-37934451047654125512008-12-01T13:44:00.000+00:002008-12-01T13:44:00.000+00:00Oh, I disagree - we do need to snack, especially i...Oh, I disagree - we do need to snack, especially if getting regular exercise. When I was at my fittest a couple of years ago and a svelte (for me) 14 stone 10, I ate every three hours. Just a little, a banana or some oatcakes or whatever, but without that I found my blood sugar, and therefore my moods, seemed a bit cock-eyed. I had more energy as a result, was happier, and ate a sensible amount at meals. But snacking on nuts, sweets or whatever is not generally a great idea.<BR/><BR/>Oooh, nuts for post-run are great though. A small handful. But as I can never stick to that, I don't tend to buy them any more.<BR/><BR/>I'm burbling.badgerdaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275758525851693777noreply@blogger.com
