I know these look cute and fun…however, let’s take a look at some of the ingredients so you can make an informed decision when a choosing a snack. 🫣
Corn=Genetically modified and highly processed (will increase insulin quickly)
Vegetable Oil=Oxidizes and may cause systemic inflammation (lethargy, pain, brain fog)
Maltodextrin=Highly processed, flavorless carbohydrate that will increase insulin quickly
Monosodium Glutamate=Flavor enhancer that acts as an excitotocin (will overstimulate neurons in the brain leading to the suppression of feeling full…you will keep eating)
Artificial color (Yellow 5 & 6)=Causes adrenal tumors in animal studies and are banned in other countries
Sucralose (aka Splenda)=Made from dextrose, this artificial sweetener is almost exactly like sugar and will increase insulin quickly
*Raising insulin quickly with these types of ultra processed foods will negatively affect weight loss efforts and may result in a drop in blood sugar later, leading to more sugar cravings.
A better choice for snacking would be a whole, unprocessed food; or, at least choose foods with 5 ingredients or less and make sure there are not added sugars or vegetable oils (e.g., Meats, raw nuts, organic fruits & vegetables, yogurt). 😋

Here’s what I mean 👇🏼
Let’s say that your resolution is, “I want to lose weight.”
SMART Goal would be, “I will lose 10 lbs of fat by March 31st by eating whole foods, strength training 2 times a week and doing 150 minutes of cardio a week.”
Be patient with yourself and celebrate the small wins. 🫶🏼
You did not pick up bad habits overnight, and it takes several weeks to develop good habits.
Start with one or two habits and focus on what you can ADD rather than what you can SUBSTRACT.
I wish you a happy and healthy 2024! 🎉
