[Applause] so there there’s a new wave a brand new wave of prepackaged low calorie snacks they’re making big claims about swimming your waist that’s why so many of you love them you adore them but but their takeaway of the supermarket aisle has left many of you confused and wondering
Whether these low calorie snacks are your secret weapon or your diet’s worst enemy so I sent chef and best-selling author Roco Topo to investigate noshing grazing picking whatever you call it we simply love to snack it could be because we’re bored or stressed sad or simply just have to satisfy an oral
Fixation there are endless amounts of snack foods but now a new wave of lowc calorie snacks has taken over the snack aisle promising you can munch on chips pretzels popcorn chocolate without the guilt this low calorie label comes on really big bags as well as tiny little
100 calorie snack packs but how do you know which one you should put back on the shelf or which one you should keep for yourself I asked food scientist Taylor Wallace to weigh in these snacks are smaller or thinner size portions so the food label tells a good story less than
100 calories the problem is you need to be careful to only consume one at a time just as a treat every now and then or else you’ll forfeit their total benefits are some healthier than others absolutely there are slew of low calorie snacks out there you just have to know
What to look for the truth is your snack Choice can be the key to losing weight or sabotaging your diet completely So today we’re giving you a snack plan of attack straightforward rules so you can pick the best lowc calorie snack every time thank you Roco so I’m here with my
Snack pack who buy lowc calorie snacks is a way to lose weight without feeling hungry you all in a similar category so Aila we going start with you what’s your favorite go-to snack my favorite go-to snack is is a good old bag of chips you open it it’s saly crunchy it tastes good
Smells good right yes not bad for you right not at all for me or so you think we’ll find out Ela what’s what’s your go-to snack what do you like uh I like cookies chips salty things and Selena is so comfortable there she got to go two
Foods everything she ever want in life so today what I’m going to do for you all is I’m going to give you a snack plan of attack simple rules to get the healthiest snack every single time to help me break it down is nutritious Kellan Puchi who’s over here at the
Truth tube waiting for us I’m going to walk through some of these steps I want you to help us understand what’s good and what’s bad about what the snack pack is doing for themselves we’ll start with salty they all seem to like the salty stuff for a good reason and there’s a
Rule for everybody to remember here that you want 30% of the calories in any bag of chips you get to come from fat yes roughly how many grams of fat is that yeah so that comes out to about 5 G per serving so that’s what you want to look
For on the package it’s a really good rule to follow five gram of fat per serving all right so the kellyan and the med team selected a chip stack that she just loves it’s a super snack that also abides by this rooll and Selena has it those little chips you’re chewing on you
Notice the color there’s like beish color that’s because they’re made from beets real beets real beets what do you think about those these are actually um they actually have a sweetness to them a little bit salty and they’re not overpoweringly taste of beet which I thought they would but they’re actually
Pretty good so they’re they’re not as earthy as a beef but I don’t mind the earthy taste but I get what you’re saying if you were to get the sweetness of a vegetable and let that sing a little more loudly but you got the savoriness of the salt you’d have a be
Chip which is why I love it and it meets your criteria it does and it’s a hearty taste so you don’t eat as much all right next up is the healthy snack rule for crackers so I’m going to walk you over to this be careful don’t don’t step in
The cracks don’t step in the cracks this is not the shoes to walk this is my not my cra there we are come on come on come on keep don’t fall watch out for the cheesy crackers right so the rule is this look for a box with the word whole as the first
Ingredient why is that so important always always always because when you see that word whole it means that most of the cracker comes from a whole grain and Dr Oz we love this because that means it has two things fiber and nutrition and here’s the benefit you stay Fuller longer so you’re not
Grabbing stuff so you can say balanced on whatever crack you happen to be standing on next rule of thumb keep in mind is you don’t want to be fooled by enriched flour that sounds like a good thing enriched flour but let’s be honest enriched flour is basically flour that’s
Had everything taken out of it Tak out and then some fake stuff put back in Yeah well yeah you put vitamins back in it you put things that you need that you want to have in food but it’s not the same so don’t go for the head fake we
Found the snack in the super category that fits both those rules and it t still tastes good they are seed crackers Elana you’ve got one I do you enjoy them oh they’re delicious they’re very flavorful they’re very earthy uh so it’s fulfilling for me to go throughout the day and feel like I
Had almost a sufficient meal because of all the flavor and taste in it well you look very cuddly over there thank you all right so let’s walk over here carefully going to walk in our crunch crunchy crackers over here now the next category is sweets and sweets are interesting category because you’ve got
To pay attention to a couple very important rules here one of them is you don’t want to have less than three gram of fiber and I have one other sweet rle I’m going to throw to you be careful of sugarfree candies yeah they sound so good don’t they guys sugarfree why not
Oh yeah you get the sweet without the sugar but they have these things called sugar alcohols in them have you have you heard of sugar alcohols no no yeah you probably felt sugar alcohols you just didn’t know that’s what was causing your problem let me explain I’ll be right
Back so you take these sugar candies that take you know things like gummy bears they seem harmless they’re bouncing up and down in your mouth and your hands right they’re they’re fun they interestingly have a chemical sweetener that we’ve talked about in the past called sugar alcohol now sugar
Alcohols are neither sugar nor alcohol but when you put them on your tongue they stop bouncing around in your hands and they bring you Joy because they taste just as sweet so you smile you’re happy your mouth digests these things and the gummy bear then makes its
Way down towards your stomach now here’s the thing when we go into your stomach you we realize the stomach can’t actually digest these gummy bears instead bacteria in the large intestine finally meet up with them and the bacteria these little brown things when they digest the candies they release gas
Right that causes bloating what’s more people think they can have the whole bag cuz there not that many calories these sugar alcohols bring water into the intestines they suck this torrential bit of water and that creates well you got it diarrhea little Runnin you know even
As few as 15 gummy bears can cause digestive issues so that’s not what you want to have in as a as a side benefit of having a snack so when it’s labeled sugarfree it may not always be a free lunch for you you got to be
Thoughtful so I’m going to give you a little different recommendation it’s my personal snack that I’ve been going to for years and years it’s dark chocolate covered almonds now before you all say oh please dark chocolate covered almonds it’s important to notice if you love
Your snack if you love it if it wakes up your mouth is your mouth woken up by the way oh wow it’s chocolate nuty it tastes good yeah well these things I adore because they make my mouth so happy the mouth feels so perfect I don’t have to
Eat 10 of them now the most important tip I’m going to give you it’s the Oz golden rule is you never want you never want your snack any snack to more than 10% of your daily calories because if a snack is more than a tenth of all your
Daily calories that’s called a meal yes right so I’ve included the rule and the entire snack plan of attack in one easy to use sheet that you can bring to the supermarket it’s on do.com that’s what it looks like thank you for watching don’t forget to subscribe and turn on
