In this article, we discuss the healthy alternatives that you can choose as evening snacks to make yourself fitter and better. These are easy to make recipes which you can carry to your workplace as well and beat the evening hunger pang in a healthy manner.
You just finished your lunch three hours back and amidst your work, it hits you now – HUNGER!
Yes, that daunting evening time hunger that wants you to eat every unhealthy snack imaginable on the planet. You surf through your drawer, then a few of the online food delivery apps on your phone and bam – there arrives your health hazard.
That is the difference between hunger and craving. Hunger is when your body wants nutrition and you are genuinely hungry. Whereas, craving is a mere desire to accumulate more food and attractions to specific foods due to low energy levels.
A box of doughnuts, a few cookies, a muffin, and whatnot. And then you consume it like a happy kid and hope that you will go on with your life, as usual.
The weird part is: you do not.
Yes.
Craving occurs due to different reasons, but the evening snack craving has got more to do with the fact that later in the daytime, our energy levels are lower. It leads to a drop in blood sugar levels. By evening you are tired and you would like to take rest. But we interpret this as hunger due to our conditioning and start looking out for comforting deep fried or sugary snacks.
Also, thanks to the sugar rush you just introduced into your system, your glycaemic index (GI index) has shot up and now you crave even more food. Your body only got empty calories but not the nutrition it wanted, so cravings continue.
Here we go.
One more doughnut down the throat along with some free calories.
Ever thought if there could be any way out from this spiral web?
