Hey mamas can you share your favorite high protein low carb no sugar added and no sugar substitute snacks?

I have to confirm my A1C but my blood sugars indicate that I’m no longer diabetic but pre-diabetic…I’m looking to completely reverse diabetes type 2 and lose 80lbs…I realize I need more snacks because at times I don’t have dinner or a meal…rn I skip breakfast most days of the week. What snacks have helped you lose weight and get healthier? Update: my blood sugar spiked tonight for the first time in 3 weeks so I just took my injection…it was so good for 3 weeks I didn’t have to take any medicine but it’s my fault eating food with sugar and also had noodles tonight…thank you for your suggestions ladies…I will keep striving

I had dried fruit like cashews and pistachio mostly idk if these counts?

@Anza yes thanks mama that’s great was thinking about dried fruit also…I had some praline pecans yesterday and I realized it was too much sugar

Try making granola bars or balls at home with oats and you make make your own healthy caramel with dates. They are sweet and good for you.

I’m also a trainer who has an online coaching business so if you want more guidance let me know. I’d love to help

It’s great to hear your blood sugars are improving! For healthy snacks that help with weight loss and keeping blood sugar stable, try options like nuts, Greek yogurt with berries, boiled eggs, or veggies with hummus, these will keep you full without spiking your blood sugar.

I’m a wellness coach with Herbalife. Let me know if you’d like some recommendations 🤍

Chicken 😂

Straight to the point here… Dont skip breakfast (coffee doesnt count but try adding in half a scoop of collagen+protein powder in) Foods like greek yogurt, cottage cheese, beef jerky, protein bars, mixed nuts, rice cakes, peanut butter crackers, fresh or freeze dried fruits, are all going to help with feeling satiated and maintaining steady blood sugsr levels

Dried fruit will increase your blood sugar more than fruit will. It’s basically CANDY. Praline pecans are SUGAR coated pecans that have been roasted so more sugar. Anything with oats will increase your blood sugar, specially granola and oat milk. If you are really pre diabetic stay away from high sugar fruits like dates which is a dried fruit. So much confusing and misinformed advice in this thread. Don’t take supplements from Herbalife or the other juice mlm. Best comment is from Bailey. Don’t skip breakfast, eat small meals throughout the day. Animal protein, Greek yogurt, raw nuts always paired with some fiber ideally from veggies. Forget the idea of sweet snacks, does no good. Fat, protein and fiber. Cinnamon (Ceylon) tea with no sweetener of course will also help.

@Virginia Hey, I’m curious, what’s the deal with Herbalife? I’ve personally had great experiences with their products and have seen some really positive results. Their protein shakes have been a game changer for me, as a mom running around all the time they’re super convenient. I’ve incorporated a shake or two a day along with my nutritious homemade meals and healthy snacks. But the shakes have made managing my nutrition so much easier because I’m not missing meals now. I’m currently the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life and have been consuming the products for over a year now. Plus, they have sugar-free options too. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

The OMAD diet worked really well for me.. it’s definitely not for everyone! But it helped keep me in a calorie deficit and the weight started dropping quick! But for snacks when I wasn’t doing OMAD I’d eat nuts of all kinds, pistachios were my favorite!! I’d also eat cheese and pepperoni, and lots of fruit.

I buy my husband who is diabetic sugar free snacks for him to eat and we only use Splenda in our house

@Virginia ok thank you mama

@Gen yes I was off medication for nearly 3 weeks because my blood sugars were great below 140 after eating but now my my blood sugar spiked again today so I took my injection but I have been eating sweets and carbs smh 🤦🏾‍♀️

@Yasmina Those sweets and carbs can definitely cause spikes, try balancing them with more fiber and protein to keep your blood sugar steady. If you’d like, I can recommend some low-glycemic options to help support your goals. Keep up the great work, you’ve got this! 💪🤍

@Gen yes thank you mama please share

@Celecia what else in on OMAD though? Is that low carb?

@Yasmina it’s really just one meal a day. I focused on high protein low carb so I ate a meat with a side of veggies and then a fruit.. definitely isn’t for everyone it’s like intermittent fasting so headaches are expected

@Yasmina I sent you a private message mama🫶

@Gen there is plenty of information out there about the scam of herbalife, a documentary on Netflix, health studies talking about liver failure and really you could just read the label and ingredients and ask a nutritionist. Ingredients are GMO, some have corn by products, inflammatory oils. I’m glad some things have worked for you. really the big change you must have had is up your protein intake( you can do that without a pyramid scheme shake full of dubious ingredients. For anyone interested in getting more protein just buy the cleanest protein powder and make a smoothie out of it with low GI fruit and no sweetener. You can save a lot of money just quitting Herbalife and buying a nutrition course or consulting a holistic nutritionist.

@Virginia Hi there! I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. I understand there’s a lot of information out there about Herbalife, and I believe it’s important for everyone to make informed decisions about what they put into their bodies. For me, the shakes have been a convenient way to manage my protein intake while balancing a busy schedule, and they’ve supported my weight loss and fitness goals by helping me stay consistent with portion control and balanced nutrition.

@Virginia To address some of the points you raised, Herbalife products are formulated to provide essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and protein. The protein shakes, for instance, offer a low-calorie, high-protein option that’s designed to support muscle maintenance and promote satiety, which has been helpful in reducing overeating. Additionally, their products meet regulatory safety standards in the countries where they are sold, and the ingredients are reviewed by a team of nutrition and health experts.

@Virginia Of course, it’s important to recognize that no product works as a magic solution, it’s about combining proper nutrition, regular exercise, and a sustainable lifestyle. While Herbalife has worked for me, I agree that consulting a nutritionist or exploring whole-food-based options is also a fantastic approach for anyone looking to improve their health. Ultimately, finding a method that aligns with your body and goals is what matters most. Thanks again for taking the time to respond!🤍
