The first thing I noticed about giving up processed carbohydrates was how hungry I felt. Back in the old days I would grad a few rice cakes to tide me over, but alas, no more. So I had to get creative. Stashing healthy snacks in my desk draw kept me from gnawing my own arm off. Here are a few tips:
- Raw nuts and seeds
- Carrot, celery, cucumber, cheese
- Slices of cold chicken
- Raw protein bar
- Cut up fruit
- Lots and lots of water - most of the time you're not hungry, you're dehydrated
- Instant miso soup
- Green or Herbal Tea
- Small glass of soy, rice, oat or nut milk
- Edamame beans - buy them frozen from the asian shop, boil them, shell them and store them in a container to eat during the day.
- Juice - make a vegetable juice, squeeze some lemon into it to keep it fresh and keep it in the fridge at work.
- Dips - try hummus or tzatziki but please make it from scratch
- Cold boiled organic free range egg
- Salad - try quinoa or tabouli
- Can of good quality tuna or salmon
Happy Snacking!
