It is four o'clock, your energy is dipping, and you reach for the cereal bar or the fruit yoghurt because the label looks healthy.
In this episode I explain why so many of the snacks marketed as healthy are actually working against fat loss in menopause.
I walk through why hunger between meals usually means your last plate was missing protein, carbs, healthy fats or veg, not that you need a biscuit.
I share five snacks that genuinely support fat loss, including Greek yoghurt with fruit and seeds, veggie sticks with hummus, boiled eggs, biltong, and fruit paired with a fat like peanut butter.
I also go through five that work against you, granola bars, flavoured yoghurts, rice cakes and crackers on their own, dried fruit, and fruit juice, and explain the actual reason each one derails you.
I use my own mix of upbringing in Pakistan, Brazil and England to show how differently snacking can look, and why control over portions matters more than the label on the packet.
This is one of the pillars of my method, and it is practical, not restrictive, carbs are not the enemy here.
