Conventional Snack Food Isn’t Food. It’s Pure Clog. & Your Simple SANE Approach To Snacking
Listen
Note 1
As a general rule, if you need to snack, you’re probably not eating enough SANE foods at mealtimes and should reassess the composition of those meals. Are you enjoying complete SANE meals which include Non-Starchy Vegetables, Nutrient-Dense Protein, and Whole-Food Fats?
Note 2
Here are some savory: hard- or soft-boiled eggs, low-sugar jerky, plain and all-natural pork rinds, cottage-cheese, raw Non-Starchy Vegetables with a homemade SANE Greek-yogurt based dip, baked kale chips, raw Non-Starchy Vegetables with, nuts, seeds, and olives.
Note 3
Here are some sweet snacks: SANE smoothie, protein bars with a 10:1 ratio of protein to sugar, berries mixed with plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, low-sugar protein powder mixed with plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, sugar-free drinks with as few chemicals in them as possible (ideally these would be sweetened with a natural non-caloric sweetener such as stevia)

SANE
Simple SANE Eating On The Go & Just Eat MORE of the SANEst Options Available to You.
Listen
Note 1
SANE snack options can also come in handy while you’re traveling. Vegetable powders, very low-sugar protein bars, and nuts/seeds can provide you the three main SANE food groups when nothing else is available.
Note 2
Freeze SANE food, put it in an insulated bag, and enjoy it after it thaws is another useful option. SANE smoothies work especially well here.
Note 3
If you are eating out, ask your server to “hold the starch, double the vegetables”…now 80% of the menu works! Simply eat so much more of the SANE stuff that you are too full for the inSANE stuff. Here are a few tips. When eating Asian, eat the whole main dish and skip the rice. With burgers, eat more burger and veggies and less bun. When eating Mexican food, have more veggies, seafood/meat, salsa, and guacamole, less rice and tortillas. Simple SANE substitutions!

Quiz
Remember these? Give them one more try now that you’ve spent a few minutes going SANE.
Q1
Snacking is inSANE.
True
Try again.
False
Correct! Snacking can be SANE or inSANE depending on what you are eating. However, if you are eating complete SANE meals (Non-Starchy Vegetables, Nutrient-Dense Protein, and Whole-Food Fats) you will find that you won’t need to snack much because your meals will be full of satisfying food.
True
Correct! Let’s not kid ourselves. There are literally tens of thousands of inSANE edible products specifically designed for on-the-go-eating. However, everyone agrees that it is exactly these non-foods that are at the heart of the obesity and diabetes epidemics. SANE on the go can be a challenge at the start, but you CAN do it, and it WILL be worth it!
False
Try again.
Q3
If you are constantly on the go, SANEity will be nearly impossible for you.
True
Try again.
False
Correct! Breakfast: Smoothie, egg plus veggie, and SANE cereal options are either easy to prepare ahead of time or to purchase away from home. Lunch & Dinner: Hold the starch, double the veggies, and done. Focus on progress, not perfection!
Step 5 of 6

The number of people keeping you accountable is your #1 predictor of long-term success.
Sharing your SANEity enables you to enjoy instant accountability and support from your social networks. The science is 100% clear: The more you share your SANEity, the more success you will enjoy.
