Summary: <a href="http://www.beinghealthy.tv/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/126070445_82ca5f6f4c_m.jpg"></a><br><br> Photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/scubadive67/126070445/">scubadive67</a> via Flickr<br> In the last few shows we’ve talked about the importance of eating healthy breakfasts, lunches and dinners.  What haven’t we talked about yet? Snacks.<br> Almost everyone eats snacks between meals, including myself.  It is nothing to be ashamed of, if done right.  Actually, it might even help some of us lose weight, by preventing us from binging on food during mealtimes.  In this show, I discuss the negatives of certain common snacks and how to choose healthier ones.<br> Some references I used while researching this show are <a title="Mayo Clinic" href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy-diet/HQ01396">Mayo Clinic</a>, <a title="WebMD" href="http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/beyond-snack-packs-22-healthy-munchies?page=2">WebMD</a> and <a title="MedicineNet" href="http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=52484">MedicineNet</a>.<br> <br> I end the show with a question from Gail Shiraishi about whether açaí berries help you to lose weight.  I referenced <a title="WebMD" href="http://www.webmd.com/diet/acai-berries-and-acai-berry-juice-what-are-the-health-benefits">WebMD</a> while answering this question.<br> If you like the show, please head on over to <a title="iTunes" href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=285124681">iTunes</a> and give me a nice review.
