“The Best Snacks for Weight Loss” with Me on MelloFM88!


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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. YOGURT
    Provides Calcium and Fiber. It can fill even more Nutritional gaps by adding Fruits. Therefore choose plain Yogurt, not flavoured Yogurt.
  5. 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.

CEO of Spanish Town Hospital, Ms. Jacqueline Ellis and Dr. Tracia James Powell, Consultant in charge of the Special Care Nursery on Tuesday, April 18, 2023.

Throwback Thursday (#tbt) to Suga Lifestyle Charities and Rotaract Club of New Kingston donating Neonatal SpO2 Sensors to the Spanish Town Hospital in St. Catherine that turned 70 last year June.

The Sensors were handed over by Gabrielle Burgess, Director of Suga Lifestyle Charities Ltd. and President of Rotaract Club of New Kingston, Horace Collins on Tuesday, April 18th to CEO, Ms. Jacqueline Ellis and Dr. Tracia James Powell, Consultant in charge of the Special Care Nursery.

The Nellcor Oximax Neonatal SpO2 Sensors donated, have high accuracy in the clinical evaluation of blood oxygen levels in Neonates.

How to Survive and Stay Healthy During Carnival Weekend!

Instagram pic: @carnivalinjamaica

1. HYDRATE
Long hours in the sun + drinking alcohol will dehydrate you. Skip the sugary, sports drinks and drink a lot of water/try chasing or alternating alcoholic beverages with coconut water. You can add pedialite to your water too!

2. USE SUNSCREEN, WEAR SUNGLASSES &/ VISORS/HATS
Protect your skin with SPF 30 (light skinned), 50 or higher (melanin poppin’).
Don’t forget to reapply regularly.
The sun can damage your eyes too, so protect them

3. DON’T FORGET HAND SANITIZERS/WIPES
Even before Covid…Port-a-potties are gross, buying from vendors who may not sanitize is gross… Please still have your sanitizers handy to keep your hands as clean & as germ-free as possible.

4. EAT HEALTHY WHEN YOU CAN
Late nights and long days make it easy to resort to fast food/junk food
Stock up on protein-filled snacks like low-fat & low-sugar protein bars and nuts.
Make your Turkey/Tuna sandwiches, pre-cook/slow cook dinner, so it’s ready when you get home.

5. SLEEP
Prevent a breakdown on your immune system to avoid getting run down and sick

***BONUS TIP***
STRETCH !
Stretch and hydrate before the road march to avoid cramping and dead legs. You did not prep for this day to ride out Carnival in an ambulance or on the truck.
See You on the Road!
