Low Carb Snacks

It's hard sticking to a diet. Especially when you have so many temptations out there. This is why for me doing a low carb diet works best for me. I love not feel bloated, having energy, and feel better in general. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, my biggest problem is staying away from breads and pasta. I don't completely eat low carb, every once in a while I enduldge in stuff not low carb but I drink a lot of water. I also get back to it the next day or whenever I feel I want to. I don't deprive myself of anything and I eat when I am hungry.

Sometimes I'm not always super hungry so it's important that I pack little snack here and there to help me stay on track. Here are some low carb snack ideas that are perfect for being on the go or at home in between meals:

 

I love almonds. They are so easy to pack and snack on! 

Atkins has soooo many more options now than they used to. They have snacks, shakes, candies, and even meals. I love that because they already calculate your carbs and these snacks actually taste delicious. I always carry one of these in my purse just in case.

This is one of the shakes that I drink when I am craving something sweet. They have so many favors, this is strawberry banana. I also have the French vanilla shakes and I love those. I like how these come with caps you can put back on if you don't plan on drinking all at once or if traveling. Very convenient and delicious.

These Hillshire snacks I recently discovered while shopping at Target. There are 3 different selections to choose from, it's grilled chicken that comes with dipping sauces. 7g of carbs, not too bad for a quick snack while on the go. My favorite is the honey mustard and you can heat up chicken or eat them cold. 

For me I love sandwiches and subs and it kills me not to be able to enduldge in a Publix sub everyday but this is a great solution that almost tricks my mind into thinking I am eating one. I take cheese, any kind, and wrap turkey or ham around it. You can choose any kind of deli meat and if you want to get fancy you can always add other things in between the cheese and meat such as; banana peppers,  jalapeños, tomatoes, lettuce and any condiments you choose. For me this is so simple, yet appetizing and fulfilling.

Hope these snack ideas help any of you trying to stick to low carb diet or any kind of diet for that matter! :-)
