Spearfishing

Posted by kathryn in Easier eating and Snacks

Great little post from Dietgirl about the munchies. Are you a person that walks in the door from work, opens the fridge straight away and starts pilfering around for food? It’s been hours since lunch, you’re not sure what you’re looking for, you just want something. Those cubes of cheese, few olives, spoonfuls of dip and handfuls of crackers can really add up kilojoule-wise and if you’re trying to lose weight, it’s these habits you need to question.

If it’s been four or five hours since your lunch, then yes, you’re going to be hungry. If you can’t wait until dinner, then it’s okay to have a snack, but make it a small one. Dietgirl (and her sister’s) advice, is to put a few bits on a plate and sit down to eat it. This means you’re controlling the portion, taking some time over eating and also having a a few minutes break from your busy day, to de-stress.

Instead of spearfishing, why not make yourself a yummy little mezze plate, take a seat and enjoy your after-work snack-time.

Update: I realised later in the evening that Dietgirl actually links to me at the end of the spearfishing article – I didn’t mean to be quite so circular!
