Weight Loss: Abs Diet Snacks  

Most diet plans portray snacking as a failure. I want you to think of snacking as exactly the opposite -- as a key to success! But the secret to effective snacking is doing so at the optimum time -- about 2 hours before you're scheduled to eat your next meal. That'll be enough time to head off hunger pangs and keep you full enough to avoid a meltdown at mealtime. You have a lot of flexibility in what you use to snack. You could have a portion of a leftover from dinner, a sandwich, a smoothie, or a combination of some of the Abs Diet Powerfoods. To make it easier, pick one food from column A and one from column B. That will ensure your satiety.
