This winter, be kind to your waistline (NC)--With countless holiday gatherings, family get-togethers and New Year's bashes dotting the calendar, many Canadians find themselves giving into temptation and overindulging during the winter months. According to researchers at the National Institute of Health the average person gains weight during the holiday season. Battling winter weight gain doesn't have to be a struggle. The trick: consume healthy snacks throughout the day to keep you satiated until mealtime. To help you snack smart this winter, consider the tips below: Plan Ahead. Plan your snacks for the day just as you would plan your meals. To ensure you have healthy snacks on hand when hunger hits, clean and cut up fruits and vegetables as soon as you bring them home from the store. Watch your portion sizes. A handful here, an extra scoop there ­ when it comes to snacks, eating double or triple portions can be easy if you aren't mindful. Snacks are meant to tide you over until the next meal, not replace it altogether so it is important to keep them between 100 and 200 calories. Naturally low in sugar and containing just 50 calories per one cup serving, strawberries are an excellent choice for those looking to snack smart. Timing is everything. To keep hunger at bay, aim to eat every two to three hours. Eating small, healthy snacks throughout the day will not only keep your energy levels up, it will help prevent you from overindulging once mealtime comes. Eat your vitamins. When choosing a snack, look for foods that will satisfy your hunger and provide your body with the essential vitamins and nutrients it requires. For a snack that is both delicious and nutritious, reach for a basket of California strawberries, conveniently available year-round. Packed with vitamin C and powerful antioxidants such as anthocyanins and ellagic acid, strawberries have been credited with many disease fighting properties and may improve heart health, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of some cancers. Everything in moderation. Looking for an indulgent treat? Instead of reaching for a candy bar, satisfy your sweet tooth with snacks that are nutrient-rich and low in fat and calories. For a decadent treat, try dipping strawberries into a square of melted dark chocolate or yogurt sprinkled with cinnamon.
