When you're trying to get ripped, it's important to know everything you can about maintaining the proper diet. You exercise routine is only as effective as what you are eating before and after it, which is why getting the right amount of protein and other muscle-building nutrients is important. Another thing you need to keep in mind is the snacks you eat throughout the day, as they may be sabotaging your diet.
For example, researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have recently found that women who eat a mid-morning snack between breakfast and lunch have a more difficult time losing weight than those who wait until their meal to eat.
The scientists believe this could be due to the fact that there's such a short time between these two meals that people who eat in between them may be doing so out of boredom rather than hunger.
"Mid-morning snacking therefore might be a reflection of recreational or mindless eating habits rather than eating to satisfy true hunger," said researcher Anne McTiernan, M.D., Ph.D.
These findings suggest that it's important to think before you snack, because it could be causing you to add on pounds.
