Great Snacks For Losing Fat

When it comes to a successful fat loss phase, sticking to a calorie deficit is a must.  These 2 low calorie snacks help curb cravings and increase satiety with their bright and refreshing flavors and volume.  

Fat Loss Snack #1: Savory Salsa and Fresh Veggies

Use any low calorie salsa (check label and avoid any with added sugar) as a dip and fresh sliced veggies as “chips”.  I especially love a spicy salsa during fat loss phases to help curb appetite even further. Veggies that work great with salsa include sliced cucumbers, peppers, carrots, and celery.  About 50 calories for 1/4 cup of salsa and 100g sliced veggies.  

Great paired with chicken and cheese quesadillas made using low carb wraps for a complete low calorie and high protein meal. 

Fat Loss Snack #2: Light and Sweet Berries in Jello

Using flavored sugar free jello and any combo of berries prepare the jello according to box directions and stir in 250g of berries.  Set in the refrigerator overnight or for 4-6 hours.  About 130 calories for a huge bowl!  

Great paired with greek yogurt for a complete low calorie and high protein meal.
