Chic-Shuk Secrets

Trust me- I know what it`s like. I`v been there, done that- yes, my many diet mistakes, especially while working eight or more hours a day in a public office. Agree with me on that one- It can be very difficult to eat healthfully and stick to your diet routine and the secret is simple: plan your desktop snacking- ahead of time!
Research shows that eating every four hours helps in keeping your metabolism charged and your energy level high, however before you turn into the vending machine, which normally contains fatty snacks that can easily ruin your healthy diet, plan ahead and stash low-calorie, high in fiber, nutritious snacks in your cabinet, drawer, or even in your briefcase. Each of these snacks will normally be less than 200 calories and/or 5 grams of fat and will keep you full and satisfied throughout the work day, before and after lunch time, right when the craving hits!

My favorite recommended office snacks are:

When I crave for REAL Chocolate, I pick one Kudos Milk Chocolate Granola Bar that has only 100 Calories and 3.5 grams of fat per one snack! I buy the large variety pack that contains 50 bars with different original flavors which last a few months and make sure its handy!!!

When I feel like something salty I grab a bunch of Special K Crackers! You need up to 17 of them in order to reach 90 calories!  They are multi-grains with fiber and dont taste like diet ones!!!  

If I more into crunchy or salty snacks then popcorn is the perfect low calories option (when you choose the right kind!)
Orville Redenbacher- Gourmet Microwavable Popcorn, the  Butter Light kind, is my favorite one since it is low calorie and low fat yet tastes very real and buttery! love it! I simply through it in the microwave for 2 minutes and I get a bag full with diet snack!!!!

According to experts and leading chefs, if you add these eats to your plate today you will be able to control your hunger better, reduce your foods cravings and be slimmer and healthier in no time:

OATS:
Oatmeal or oats crackers have the highest satiety ranking of any food. Unlike many other carbohydrates, oats digest slowly, so they have little impact on your blood sugar, making them the most filling choice.

EGG WHITES:
Dig in to eggs whites. They won’t harm your heart, but they can help you trim inches. A recent study from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge reported egg protein is filling, so you eat less later in the day!

ORGANIC STEAK:
The protein in beef helps you retain muscle mass during weight loss, and since regular beef has reputation, the organic choice would be healthier! The best way to eat beef while dieting is grill or broil top round or sirloin kind, sliced thinly and combined with mix of veggies.

WHOLE GRAIN:
