How to Snack and Still Lose Weight

Healthy snacks deserve healthy dips and condiments.

Jan. 6, 2011 — -- The act of snacking is not what causes us to gain weight; it's the type of foods that we snack on that can be the challenge. Having healthy snacks in between meals can actually help you to lose weight. Now, healthy snacks don't always taste as good to some people, so try pairing your healthy snacks with a small serving of the following healthy dips or condiments to make them even tastier:

Salsa

Nut or soybean butter

Fruit butters such as apple or pumpkin

Raisins or dried cranberries or cherries

Whipped low fat cream cheese

Low-fat yogurt (like Greek Yogurt)

Low-fat vegetable dip (like Ranch)

Hummus

Bean dip

Guacamole

Low-cal spinach dip

Mustard

Low-fat dressing

Neufatel cheese
