Be careful of the 100 calorie snack packs!!!!
That’s right you need to be careful with this new food fad.
I am talking about all these 100 calorie snack packs that are on
the shelves now.
Sure they are great because they are only 100 calories. Let me
pick this thought apart a little for you. I am using the 100
calorie OREO candy bites as an example. There are 12 small candy
pieces per bag. They are small enough that you could eat them all
in 2 small handfuls.
Will that satisfy you?
Then the very first ingredient is “white confectionary coating
(sugar, palm kernel and/or palm oil). This means that the largest
ingredient in this product is sugar and oils.
Will that satisfy you?
I can tell you that it will spike your insulin levels, which tells
your body to store these calories as fat as well as trick your body
into thinking it is still hungry because of the insulin spike.
Finally it forces your mind to have a lot of self control and
discipline because after two small handfuls you have to stop so
that you stay at the 100 calories. The alternative which is
usually what happens is that you are going to have another pack or
two.
See how your calories just doubled or even tripled.
Remember the Fat Free Snackwell days?
Everyone thought they were the greatest food in the world because
they were fat free. Yet they wondered why they kept getting
fatter. It was because Snackwells were loaded with sugar.
Instead stick to healthy 100 calorie snacks that are going to
provide fullness instead of emptiness and having you crave more.
I know you can do it!
Yours in health
