Low Calorie Snacks on Dr. Oz and My Recommended Swaps
Snack packs are taking over the supermarket snack aisle, but can these pre-packaged, low-calories snacks really slim your waist? Just because something is low-calorie doesn’t necessarily mean that it is guilt-free. Most of the time it’s the same unhealthy, processed ingredients just in a smaller package So, here is my plan of attack for most snack packs you’ll find on the shelf.
Potato Chips
Don’t get caught up in so called “healthy” buzz-words like baked, rice, and veggie – these terms give the impression that you’re getting a healthy chip that you can eat as much of as you want. But not all these options are the same and many of them have ingredients snuck in that make the snack unhealthy. I’m not saying avoid these at all costs – I’m just saying don’t specifically purchase them because you think they’re good for you. My favorite salty substitute for potato chips is a root vegetable chip like beet chips or sweet potato chips or even a real veggie chip like kale chips. My recommended swap for chips is beet chips or kale chips.
