I hope I’m on your low carb list. If not, please add me.
Oh, if you enjoy snacking, you can still snack on low carb. And still lose weight or maintain! Make sure you’ve got a minimum 12-15 hour fast every day (including your sleep). Then during your eating hours, you can snack pretty much all you want. Decide ahead of time on your quantity to fit your plan. I commute for hours a day and I enjoy chewing on food in the car.
First choice for snacks is of course protein, like beef jerky style snacks (I like my Epic brand “Bambi sticks” - what I call the venison ones in front of vegans, lol), string cheese, hand boiled eggs, etc.
Then there are the snacks that incorporate some of your carbs for a day. Like peanut butter packets or other nut butter packets. Or nuts if you can portion them properly.
Then your beloved go to fat treat. Mine is 92% dark chocolate. It is not sweet at all. It’s not candy. It’s an antioxidant high fat delicious natural food.
Snacking is ok but not on carbs!
Understand however, that every time you snack, regardless of what you're eating, the body is going to secrete insulin, which stops the body using your fat stores for energy, and makes it more difficult to overcome Insulin Resistance.
You guys are on my ping list now!
