Chicken Salad - A Great Snack Food For Losing Weight

A victorious weight loss schedule is not potential unless you can avoid getting hungry. Meals should be no more than 4 to 5 hours apart, and you should carry with you a protein snack for when you begin to feel hungry.

Chicken salad is a very satisfying snack. All the time have in your refrigerator some chicken salad, preferably home made, so that you can avoid the "bad fats" that are in most commercial dressings or mayonnaise. Never use salad dressings or oils that consist of soy. Soy oil is an Omega 6 oil and responsible for many of the chronic illnesses today. Chicken salad can be taken to work in a thermos container. Two tablespoons of chicken salad, eaten when you begin to feel hungry, will quell the hunger pangs. It is so easy!

Broiled chicken drumsticks are a good snack food, too. I keep chicken drumsticks and chicken salad in my refrigerator at all times. It is an easy bedtime snack, too.

A quick and easy way to make chicken salad is to buy quantities of cooked and diced chicken breast from a Sysco store, provider of institutional kitchens, and keep it frozen until you need it. It is more expensive than cooking the chicken yourself, but so much easier. And the neat part about it is having a satisfying protein cooked and handy at all times so you don't snack on the usual high carb snacks that keep us from losing weight.
