As I already mentioned, snacks can be both a part of a healthy diet and help you stay in shape, but also the cause of weight gain and related health problems.<\/p><p>Ask yourself:<\/p><ol><li>WHEN?

If &#8220;snacking&#8221; happens often &#8211; are you indeed hungry, or do you eat because of emotions (bored, stressed, tired, angry, etc.)?<ol><li>If you are hungry, go to the next step.<\/li><li>If you realize you are an emotional eater, try to find other ways to reduce stress. What helps me to stop is the realization that losing weight is much more difficult than gaining it by overeating.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><li>WHAT? Consider the alternatives:<ol><li>Which snacks will satisfy your hunger and help you forget about food until the next meal?<\/li><li>What will the specific snack give you (energy, temporary well-being and comfort, additional <a href=\"https:\/\/dietsabc.com\/en\/healthy-diet\/food-additives-and-e-numbers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">artificial food additives<\/a>)?<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol><pre>\u00a0<\/pre><p>Remember your last snacking &#8211; did you feel full after it?
