The Snack Factor Diet: The Secret to Losing Weight--by Eating MORE

By Keri Glassman

Book Overview

Every day millions of dieters go hungry in the name of weight loss. But the truth is that while skipping meals and starving yourself will make you tired, crabby, and hungry, it won't make you one pound lighter. That's why renowned nutritionist Keri Glassman wants you to ruin your appetite with snacks. Craving a creamy snack between breakfast and lunch? Have one. Need the energy a sweet or salty snack brings toward the end of the workday? Go ahead. Because if you want to be more energetic, feel younger, and lose weight, you have to eat more. Studies show that people who snack when they're hungry feel more satisfied and consume fewer calories overall than those who don't. Unlike dieters who are ravenous between meals, snackers eat when their bodies-not the clock-tell them to, so they're less likely to overeat at mealtimes. Snacking wisely-on nutrient-dense foods like the delicious options in this book-keeps you feeling totally satisfied all day long. In The Snack Factor Diet, Glassman reveals how snacking helps: Keep your metabolism revved Maintain high energy levels Slow the aging process Put an end to hunger-related mood swings Eliminate sugar cravings With an easy-to-follow menu plan, delicious recipes, and more than a hundred sweet, creamy, crunchy, and salty snacks to choose from, The Snack Factor Diet takes the deprivation out of dieting. You can eat the foods you crave while you lose weight and feel great. From the Hardcover edition.

Keeping it Real

I love this book because it's DOABLE. For years we've been dealing with completely unrealistic diets that cause distress, disappointment and even self hatred and low self esteem. This is real, simple, useable advice that makes it easy to get healthy and loose weight. Thanks Keri Glassman. Looking forward to the O2 Diet!

Common Sense Approach

I saw the author on TV and I was impressed with what she was saying as it relates to dieting. I was more impressed with her book. I have been on her plan for about a month and I see results without sacrificing too much. I have reduced my portions and I am convinced that's all anyone has to do to loose weight and maintain. I am now comfortable with smaller portions and I still eat what I normally like with just a few rules. Glassman is a nutritionist and I feel she is passionate about nutrition and that makes a big difference when you read her book. She has you use a scale of of 1-10 to touch basis with how you are feeling once you eat -- something I never did. I usally ate until it hurts and then I felt really bad. Slow down, read the book and learn some great principles to live by.

Easiest diet ever!

This book is great! I've reached my goal weight and keeping it off has not been hard. This book taught me to change my outlook on food and to listen to my body. It even introduced me to new foods with all the different recipes provided. There are so many great ideas on meals and snacks, that I planned out my weeks of meals so that I'd have a perfect variety and never get bored. This book was so easy to read and I learned lessons I know I'll use for the rest of my life.
