10 Quick Tips: How to minimise snacking
• Out of sight out of mind – keep unhealthy snacks right at the back of a cupboard
• Plan your daily snacks – don’t snack on impulse
• If your other family members want snacks – buy ones that they like and you don’t like
• Don’t eat from the packet – arrange your snack nicely on a plate
• Don’t walk into a supermarket unless you have a shopping list
• Don’t do your food shopping on an empty stomach
• Find a hobby that keeps your fingers busy – some kind of sewing or craft
• Keep a bag of satsumas or clementines in the house or your workplace – then you never have an excuse for an unhealthy snack
• Take food from home to work each day so you don’t have to visit the shops at lunchtime
• Try not to choose sugary snacks – they are more likely to make you want more and more snacks, and they are bad for your teeth

Great post! I agree with the point you made about which snacks you should eat, and when. One thing I’ve found to be extremely helpful and useful as a supplement to my current diet/exercise plan is Fullbar (www.fullbar.com). Their gummies and bars help curve my hunger, help me with portion control and keep me from consuming more calories than I really need.
