Snacking can sabotage your weight loss—or it can support it…

The difference lies in choosing smart snacks that work with your body’s metabolism, not against it.

On today’s episode I’ll break down what smart snacking really means and how you can enjoy food between meals without halting fat burning.

I’ll also go over the ideal timing, types, and portions that actually support your weight loss goals.

Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3393 as I share what smart snacking really looks like—and what you can eat between meals to continue losing weight. Enjoy the show and let me know your thoughts!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. Hydration

Often, what feels like hunger is actually thirst or emotional eating. Try hydrating first—using herbal teas, flavored water, or electrolytes—about an hour before your typical snack time to determine if you're truly hungry.

2. Timing

If you’re eating balanced meals you may not need a snack. But if there’s a long gap before dinner, a small snack around 3:30–4:00 PM can help. Keep it 200 calories or less and wait at least 3 hours after lunch.

3. Easy-to-Digest

Opt for light, nutritious snacks like plain goat/sheep yogurt with berries, veggies with hummus or guacamole, a handful of nuts, or a few pieces of fruit. Avoid heavy proteins (e.g., jerky or eggs) which can be hard on your digestive system.
