9. Be Prepared For Those Hunger Pangs!

The Trick:

Plan for quick, easy, and healthy snacks for those notorious hunger pangs that hit in between meals.

Why It Works:

Some of the biggest diet errors we make are through snacking in between meals. That’s not to say you shouldn’t have a snack; they can actually be very beneficial. “It’s a good way to keep from feeling famished when you sit down to your next meal,” says Kennedy.

But the problem occurs when hunger strikes and we don’t know what to turn to; chances are you’ll end up reaching for something unhealthy. That’s why its important to always have a quick and healthy snack planned out or prepped in the fridge that you can just grab at a moment’s notice. Things like fruit, hummus and veggies, spiced nuts, etc. are great not only because they are delicious and healthy, but also because you can prep them beforehand.
