Snack with Atkins Diet
For many people their main downfall when trying to keep to a diet is snacking. If you cannot cut out snacking then you should make sure that your snacks complement your diet plan. In fact many believe that snacking, or ‘grazing’, is a better approach rather than having three separate meals each day.
To get you started here are some low-carbohydrate snack ideas. Some seem a little strange, however they are better than they may sound and the combinations are ideal when you are following the Atkins diet.
- Celery and low carbohydrate dips
- Tuna or chicken side salad (be careful you choose a low sugar dressing)
- Hard boiled eggs
- Portion of berries with cottage cheese
- Nuts, though be careful to try and limit your portion sizes
- Seeds, such as pumpkin and sunflower seeds
- Low sugar jerky
- Low carbohydrate milk shakes
- Cheese portions (add some slices of apple for a slightly larger snack)
- Jelly (make sure it is a brand that is sugar free)
- Plain yoghurt (add berries and sugar-free sweetener if you prefer)
- Smoked salmon with cream cheese on slices of cucumber
- Make wraps out of either lettuce or low carbohydrate sandwich meat with tuna or egg salad, cheese, vegetables, low carbohydrate dips, etc. for the filling
- Raw vegetables (not root vegetables) and a low carb dip, such as spinach dip for example
- Ricotta cheese (add fruit, nuts or flax seed meal as preferred)
- Snack bars (most are very high in carbohydrate so check the label for bars that are compatible with Atkins – especially watch out for sugar alcohols, such as maltitol, which should be avoided)
- Atkins Advantage Bars (go to the Atkins official website for more information on where to buy these)
- Pepperoni crisps (microwave pepperoni slices until crispy – these can be accompanied with cheeses and dips for a slightly larger snack)
