Nailing Your Nutrition


Probably one of the hardest things people find when trying to develop the habit of a more natural diet is snacks. Especially snacks on the go. So below are a list of some healthy alternative snacks:

  • Cashews (raw, not salted or honey roasted).
  • Hazelnut butter.
  • Coconut pieces.
  • Bananas.
  • Cashew, almond or natural peanut butter (on its own or spread over a rice cake).
  • Natural Yoghurt.
  • Carrot, celery or any other veg dipped in natural hummus.
  • Dried fruit and nuts.
  • Fresh Fruit.
  • Naked Bars (just remember if you know your body isn't very insulin sensitive that the sugars in fruits are more likely to be converted and stored as fat, so go easy on the fruit intake if that's you). 

Plan to eat at least 4-6 times a day, planning snacks and meals at regular intervals. This does not mean increasing the amount eaten, but eating moderate sized meals or snacks more frequently. Studies have shown that eating regularly is associated with a lower total energy intake and an elevated metabolic rate after eating (Farschi et al. 2005). 

After eating the metabolic rate increases by approximately 10% for a short while afterwards. Eating meals at regular intervals also helps to keep blood sugar and insulin levels more stable, as well as helping to control blood cholesterol levels.

If you are struggling to come up with nutritionally balanced, enjoyable menu that's healthy and helps you look and feel fantastic, then why not check out the PB Fitness Nutrition Package.
