Snacking Can Be Good
When you first learn that you have diabetes you can't help thinking
about how much your eating habits will have to change. Thankfully, you
can eat healthfully and still enjoy snacks. Some people with diabetes
are told to avoid heavy meals and to spread their eating throughout the
day, so you may actually be encouraged to snack! The key to success is
to monitor what you eat over an entire day and stay within your
individualized nutritional goals.
Healthy Snacks
Many traditional snacks fall under the heading of healthy snacks. A
piece of fresh fruit, carrot and celery sticks, pretzels, and low-fat
yogurt are just a few examples of low fat snacks. Other foods can
become healthy snacks with only a few modifications. A few squirts of
butter-flavored spray and a sprinkle of garlic or onion powder on
popcorn make a tasty snack that avoids high concentrations of fat and
sodium. Using low or fat free dressings to dip bite size vegetables
instead of sour cream based dips reduces the fat content considerably.
