5 Snacks That Will Help You Lose Weight:

Kashi Chewy Granola Bars: they have 130 to 140 calories each, 4 grams of fiber, 5 g of protein, and they’re made with real nuts and whole grains. And they actually taste good

Frozen Peas and Corn: Freezing vegetables seals in their naturally sweet flavor. They’re firm, but not rock hard, and they melt in your mouth.

Total Yogurt: Skip the usual fruit-on-the-bottom suspects — high in sugar, ho-hum in texture. Try Fage Total Greek Yogurt instead. This imported greek yogurt is strained, which makes it fluffy. It’ll fool you into thinking it’s fat-filled, but the “0%” on its label tells you how much fat it really contains.

A Dressed Up Apple: If you’ve got 5 minutes and a knife, cut your apple up and mix it with some chopped walnuts and a teaspoon or two of maple syrup. Or eat it with a tablespoon of peanut butter to add about 100 calories’ worth of the satiating power of nuts.

Quaker Express Oatmeal: Classic Breakfast option that is more filling than dry cereal with the same calories and fiber content.

    Please inform all your members in Japan, that TOTAL Greek strained yogurt is now imported in Japan!
    The three varieties of Classic full fat, 2% and 0% fat, can be found from next week in National Azabu Super market, in Nissin world delicatessen or through internet shopping at http://www.nostimia.com.
    Thank you
