Food For Thought

Snacking is a habit that can sometimes take an undesirable turn, and instead of being a joyful experience, it can turn out to be a nightmare. Anything in excess can be bad, and so is excess snacking. When people start to binge eat, this results in increased glucose, blood pressure, or cholesterol levels.

Hence, it is important to be mindful of what you eat and how much you eat. It doesn't matter if you are on a diet or not - the portion size must not be ignored, even when snacking.
