Your hobby snacking? This is a hobby that will make your body fatter. Of course, with the excess weight will increase the range of potential diseases that emerge in the long run, such as diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, or heart. Certainly, keeping the diet is important.

Well, if you want snacking while keeping weight, replace the snack menu with foods containing protein. Carbohydrate and high sugar that exist in most instant snacks, you can replace with protein foods such as nuts, fish, eggs, and so on. Because, the protein yield fewer calories and can suppress hunger longer.

A study by Alison Grosby from the University of Sydney Australia, concluded, by eating protein foods can postpone hunger until two hours after. This is proved by testing 22 volunteers who are dieting that are divided into two groups.

The first group was asked to eat foods with reduced levels of the protein portion of 10 percent. Second group was given food with a protein of 15 percent. The first group turned out to have 260 calories more each day. Different case with the second group, calories absorbed in this group from other snacks they eat only 70 percent.

This means that put more protein in your diet is quite effective in reducing weight. By adding exercise as part of your diet agenda, will be much more effective.
