Snacks on a fat-loss diet

We recommend that, especially on a fat loss diet, you eliminate snacking as much as possible. Long-term research on diet adherence and success shows that people who snack less tend to get better results. If you're on a maintenance diet, you can snack if you'd like, but the more you snack, them less whole food the diet will adjust to prescribing you, so keep snacking limited. If you're on the muscle gain diet, a bit of snacking isn't terrible, as long as you're not eating too much junk and sticking mostly to the planned meals.
