SNACKS

Ok, we sometimes break our Rule #1 here which just goes to show that rules can be broken. Our overall program however does follow Rule #1 fairly consistently, and this is important because we want to get enough protein in our daily food intake in order to keep insulin levels low and bones and muscles strong and healthy. (Rule #1 is: Start every meal and every snack with a satisfying amount of best protein and good fat, then add carbs starting with most favorable - which are mostly non-starchy vegetables.)

Most important for you is to use this list as a jumping off point to compile your own favorite, good-for-you, nourishing and satisfying snacks. Those who are diabetic or exhibit insulin/blood sugar imbalances may need to strictly limit all but most favorable carbs at least till metabolism heals.
