Nicole Scherzinger of The Pussycat Dolls fame: Only snack in the late afternoon
Snacks have a poor reputation, owing to their association with the consumption of unhealthy foods such as chips and candy bars. Yet, if you make wise choices, the benefits of snacking include feeling less hungry later in the day and providing the energy boost you require in the afternoon. At 3 p.m., choose a cup of 1% fat cottage cheese or a handful of almonds. The protein will boost your metabolism while reducing your blood sugar.
