Other day I was talking about Ana Dotan's review on fat burning furnace diet in a seminar, some people asked about healthy snacks.

I found an interesting article by Lisa on "Healthy Snacks for Your Tummy" where she mentioned that dieting is not about starving yourself and going hungry, it's about choosing the right foods.

She recommended following healthy snack foods.

Popcorn

As long as you don't saturate it in butter and/or salt (a.k.a. movie theatre popcorn) this is a very healthy snack. It's very high in fiber and low in calories.

Almonds and Other Nuts

You've heard the old phrase "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Well now people are saying the same thing about a handful of nuts.The biggest weapon contained in nuts is the monosaturated fat. This kind of fat is actually good for you and can even help clear your arteries. Nuts help fill you up and are also high in Vitamin E, fiber and magnesium. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps fight diseases such as cancer, asthma, osteoperosis and a host of other inflammations.

Sunflower seeds are like a cousin to the nut and contain a lot of the same good characteristics.

If you choose to eat these, be sure to choose the ones with low or no salt.

Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is a delicious member of the legume family. It has a lot of the same good qualities as regular nuts, and is great because it will fill you up quickly.

You can also add it to your fruit, crackers, or even a smoothie. It makes a great healthy snack.

Watch your consumption of it, however. Despite the protein, peanut butter is considered a high-calorie food. So be sure you don't overdo it.

Smoothies

Fruit smoothies can actually be used as a meal replacement if you pack them with enough ingredients. Depending upon what you put in them, they can contain anywhere between 400 and 600 calories which will keep you full for hours.
