Eating a snack between meals helps curb hunger so that you take time to eat your Lunch and Dinner and you feel fine with the portions. Snacking can also help you get in all the nutrients you need.
It helps to have healthy snack options on hand so that you’re prepared when hunger strikes. Many of these weight-loss snacks are also great on-the-go snack options.
NUTS Has healthy fats and they are full of fibre. If maintaing weight, Almonds are fine, but Peanuts are recommend for persons with weight loss goals. Add dried fruit to make it fun.
GRAPEFRUIT It satisfies and has strong antioxidants. Delivers 100% of Women’s Vitamin C needs for the day. ***If on medication, clear with Doctor first.
POPCORN High in fibre with some protein too. No butter it light butter. Ensure it is 5% or less in sat fat with 0% cholesterol and you’re good to go.
YOGURT Provides Calcium and Fiber. It can fill even more Nutritional gaps by adding Fruits. Therefore choose plain Yogurt, not flavoured Yogurt.
Chocolate, BUT DARK CHOCOLATE Losing weight doesn’t mean giving up the foods you love. Giving yourself little treats may be the secret to successfully managing your weight. Completely avoiding the foods you enjoy may end cause overeating just to feel satisfied,
BONUS GRAPES – High in natural sugar A cup of Grapes is 100 caloreies Pairing with low-fat Cheese makes a fantastic snack as well.

STAFF RETENTION
1. Monetary Staff compensation
On the spot scenarios when hiring. Train staff and include scenarios. Ensure you are trained first.
COMMUNICATE with staff often, keeping all updated, equipping them with info and authority to say yes more to certain scenarios, show initiative, letting us know that you are willing to go the extra mile. Be present or available if they are not sure and need to check with you.
RESPECTFUL TREATMENT is important, especially to RUDE CUSTOMERS We are NOT always right. We believe we are though, so staff can still try to respect our position and do their best to cater to our wishes.
Exceed our expectations. We will remember it. Provide something extra for free that the customer wasn’t expecting.
Remember, we have a choice. It starts with YOU.
