You May Never SNACK Again after Watching This

Snacking is a very interesting and important topic to talk about, and that’s what we’re going to cover today. Hunger and cravings aren’t the only reasons people snack; many people snack to prevent overeating or for appetite control. However, snacking will actually increase a person’s appetite and encourage overeating. I believe snacking, in general, is worse than a high‑carb diet without snacking. Eating triggers insulin, and if you eat three meals and snack, you’re creating a repetitive spike in insulin that can eventually lead to insulin resistance. Fat and fiber from vegetables are the two types of food that don’t trigger insulin, but the most important thing to do is to stop snacking. As the first step, stop snacking between meals and have your snacks with your meals instead. Other things you can do to help stop snacking and support your overall health include a low‑carb diet, increasing the fat in your diet, consuming more vegetable fiber, getting more exercise, and ensuring you get the right nutrients. 0:00 Introduction: Why do people snack? 1:30 Snacking vs. a high‑carb diet 3:50 Snacking and insulin 6:43 The potential effects of snacking 7:48 Foods that don’t trigger insulin 8:15 How to stop snacking 11:54 Check out my other video to learn more about snacking!
