Weight Loss: Do You Graze All Day to Rev Up Your Metabolism? Read This! Weight Loss Nutrition

As a general rule, I discourage snacking during my programs. Why? Isn’t grazing all day long the way to do the following? 

• Keep your metabolism revving
• Keep your blood sugar even 
• Avoid hunger pains

Snacking, even on non-sugary foods, gives the body a constant supply of blood sugar so it does not need to switch into fat-burning mode. Burning fat is detoxifying and slimming. By burning fat we eliminate toxins and prevent them from accumulating. Fat is a slow fuel that gives sustained energy. Many of us have lost the ability to burn fat effectively from grazing all the time.

If you are suffering from adrenal fatigue or you're an athlete, you may need to snack. Click here for some snack ideas (featuring avocado!) that will satiate your hunger without triggering an insulin response!
