How to STOP snacking
Have you been low-carb for quite some time, but maybe the scales have stopped moving? Could it be that your snacking is getting in the way?
When you first start low-carb, carrying low-carb snacks are critical to stopping sugary snacks and other high-carb snacks creeping back in. But as time goes on, snacking makes less of an appearance. And so you need to know how to reduce the snacking.
How does snacking stop weight loss?
If you are constantly snacking every few hours, you won't be giving your blood glucose or your insulin levels a chance to fall into the fat-burning range. So even though you may be snacking on healthy low-carb snacks, you need to stop.

5 top tips for snacking
- Add more healthy fats to your meals so you don't need to snack.
- Portion control your snacks because snacking all day long can add up to your fourth meal.
- Space out your snacks. Each time you feel the need to reach for a snack, look at the clock and try to push the snack out by a further hour or two. Eventually, you will stop that snack altogether.
- Count how many times you snack each day, then slowly reduce that number.
- Track your carbs. Stop the carb creep that may be triggering your hunger in the first place.
