Main meals aren't always enough. In many cases, it's even recommended, for health reasons, to eat more often throughout the day. Whether it's because you need to or because you're feeling hungry, in this article you'll learn how healthy snacks can help you achieve a surreal routine.
We'll also show you why BOLD Thin should be among the foods in these small intermediate meals.
Come with us and be amazed!
Snacks between meals to lose weight
Yes, eating helps you lose weight. As we always emphasize, deprivation is not the solution to weight loss. When you go too long without eating, your body stores energy as a survival instinct, a very primitive mechanism.
When eating, the mechanism is the opposite. Thermogenesis, the burning of calories, is stimulated. Of course, if we exceed the amount of calories we need daily, we will not lose weight. But the idea is to divide our meals so that we satisfy our needs without overindulging.
Less hunger at main meals
You've already understood that skipping meals is not the solution to losing weight. In addition to stimulating the body to burn calories, healthy snacks prevent us from getting to the main meals feeling so hungry.
This way, we tend to put less food on our plates. At the end of the day, your calorie balance will probably be in deficit if you eat consciously, with healthy snacks between meals.
Choosing foods wisely is essential for the strategy to work for healthy and sustainable weight loss. We will show you how to make this choice in the topics below.
Reach your daily nutrient intake
Much more than just a calorie balance or deficit, you should aim to achieve the recommended amount of macro and micronutrients. Only in this way will you achieve good health. Healthy snacks between meals should be well chosen so that they provide good substances for your body.
Fruits and nuts are excellent sources of micronutrients, i.e. vitamins and minerals. They also have phytochemicals such as antioxidants.
It is also essential to think about options with macronutrients - protein, fiber, fats and carbohydrates - to have good health. BOLD Thin protein bars are ideal, as we will show throughout the article.
Get energy
Our grandmothers used to say: “An empty bag doesn’t stand up.” They are the voice of wisdom. Throughout the day, even if your routine doesn’t require much exercise, energy is essential, even to think. The much-maligned calories provide them for us. Some people think that they should last until lunch and dinner, but that’s not quite the case. These large meals are not always enough for us to carry out our daily activities.
A drop in blood glucose can even make you feel unwell. A lack of energy and nutrients also affects blood pressure. When it drops, it causes sweating, discouragement, fainting and vomiting.
Hunger should be understood as a sign that the body needs food. Don't ignore it, okay?
Healthy snacks are even more important for these people
Splitting meals is an excellent option for everyone. As we have shown, healthy snacks can even help you lose weight. However, there are some people who benefit even more from these snacks for health reasons and energy requirements.
Diabetics
Glucose fluctuations are more common in diabetics. Therefore, eating small, in-between meals is a good strategy to maintain the necessary levels of the substance in the body. Many people even carry some foods with them for quick consumption in case of crises. For these people, it is always recommended to consult their doctor to find out which foods are allowed.
People with gastritis
It is recommended to eat in portions to prevent the acid released in the stomach from acting when the organ is empty. Healthy snacks also prevent people with gastritis from overeating at main meals. Larger volumes of food are more difficult for the stomach of people with the problem to digest.
For those suffering from gastritis, it is recommended to eat anti-inflammatory foods (fruits, vegetables, whole foods) and foods rich in antioxidants (fruits and vegetables) to help with stomach health.
Probiotics are also excellent, as they contain microorganisms that are beneficial to the intestinal flora.
People with reflux
Anyone who suffers from reflux knows that the problem gets worse when they eat large amounts of food. It becomes even more difficult if the foods are harmful to the person with reflux.
Dairy, fatty and acidic products are usually on the list. Split meals help control the volume ingested. This reduces the chances of getting sick.
Who has lower glucose
If you have a history of low blood sugar levels, you need strategies to keep your blood sugar levels at a healthy level so you don't get sick. Snacks are great for this. Choosing healthy foods brings even more benefits to you. In addition to not getting sick, you nourish your body well and enjoy all the benefits of this attitude.
Those who have a physically intense routine
Working in jobs that require physical effort, training and other activities require a well-nourished and energized body. Skipping meals only can make you more tired, lead to long-term nutritional deficiencies and many other consequences.
Why is BOLD Thin perfect for healthy snacks between meals?
BOLD Thin is one of the most practical and recommended foods for your healthy snack.
Macronutrients in balance
Protein, carbohydrates, fat, and fiber should be consumed in large quantities because they are essential for the proper functioning of the body. Although nutritional terrorists campaign against carbohydrates and fats, for example, you need them in the right amounts. You also need to choose quality carbohydrates and fats.
Remember that carbohydrates should represent 50 to 60% of daily calories, while fats should represent 30%. These are reference values recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
You also need 1.5 grams of protein per kilo daily . The amount mentioned is an indication in the scientific literature, as explained by Bold food engineer Guilherme Abid.
But, according to him, as important as consuming good amounts of protein is choosing foods in which carbohydrates, fats and fibers are in balance. At BOLD, you will find this balance.
Perfect snack
BOLD Thin has 40 grams, the size of the hunger that usually appears between meals. It is not big or small, but just right.
Good satiety
You shouldn't just look at the size of your snack to see if it will satisfy you. The composition is key. Protein is digested more slowly by the body. Therefore, protein foods, such as BOLD Thin, are very filling.
Good protein intake
Reaching your daily protein intake is no easy task. But with BOLD Thin bars, you can get closer to the recommended levels. Each bar contains 11 to 13 grams, depending on the flavor.
Flavor without limits
Healthy snacks don't have to mean boring food. BOLD Thin proves it. It looks just like one of our favorite chocolates. In fact, they inspired it. When you eat it, you'll see that we're not sucking up to our side, but telling the truth.
