Nix the after school snack attack

 
 
Quick Q of the week: I eat breakfast and a good lunch every day, but no matter what, by the time 3 p.m. rolls around, I am starving. I eat whatever I can find…usually junk instead of the good stuff. How can I bust these bad cravings?

 

Answer: CEO of GirlsGoneSporty Laura Williams says, “My first suggestion is to pack a snack to take with you to school so that you can eat it later in the afternoon when you start to feel hungry. It's so hard once you hit that "starving" mode to make yourself stop eating. You'll be better off to stop it before it starts.”

 

Oh, and one more thing: “Also, when you first get home, try drinking some water and starting your after-school snack with something like an apple or carrot sticks,” Laura adds. “After you eat that, go outside and take a walk or start your homework. If you distract yourself with something else, you may realize you're not as hungry as you think you are. If, after 30 minutes you're still starving, make yourself half of a turkey sandwich or a bowl of soup to tide you over until dinner.”

 

Thanks, Laura!

My mom cant buy healthy snacks ALL the time, so what should I do?

 

Hey! there's a huge variety of healthy snacks out there and they aren't all expensive. Keep a bag of baby carrots or grapes on hand  Smile

I just found out I have a thyroid disorder so I am trying to eat gluten free and all of the food tastes disgusting! Any ideas for yummy and filling gluten free snacks?




Hey girlie,

My BFF is allergic to gluten, so we deal with this allllll the time! She can still eat lots of stuff, so don't panic! It might be a bummer to cut some of your faves from your diet, but there are so many great recipes out there. Try looking on Google for ideas (eating gluten-free is a major trend right now) or checking out our gluten free recipes tag. (Not ALL of the listed recipes are gluten free unfortunately, but there are some yummy snack, soup, and side dish ideas there that you can try!)

Really soon, I am going to a new school a town away, and I am extremely excited to go since I have gone to school in the same area with the same people since I was 5. But anyways, I have also been subscribed to GL for a long time (since about August 2010) and I know I've seen a guide on being a new girl at school somewhere, and I was wondering if you could help me by telling me which magazine it was in? (e.g- December-January 2012) Thank you so much! Smile




Hey chickie,

In August/September 2011, we published the "New Girl Code" ... I think that could be super helpful for ya! If you're a long-time subscriber of GL, take a look in our August/September issues through the years. We usually have lots of advice for girlies starting a new school - because it happens all the time Smile You can do it!

We're not allowed to have food in our lockers at school. And we certainly can't have them in class.
And she said that she doesn't have much healthy food at home. So why would you suggest those things?
I'm so confused....

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
