15 Worst Snacks For Weight Loss
Most of us want to keep our weight down, and that's not easy when you love to snack (beer nuts are my downfall). With the holidays just around the corner, there will be a lot of high calorie snacking going on. But, you don't have to eat bland, boring foods when you want a snack to cut calories. Here's a list of snack alternatives.
According to an article by By Jessica Girdwain, Prevention on yahoo.com, here are some snacks to consider in place of some of the things you may currently snack on:
