Snacks can help, or they can hinder, your weight loss surgery outcome πŸ€”

To ensure your snacks are HELPING you to achieve your weight loss surgery goals, make sure they follow the Three P’s:

1. Snacks should be PLANNED
Plan your snacks ahead of time. Have options on hand for vulnerable times that pack a nutrition punch and keep you feeling satisfied.

2. Snacks should be PORTIONED
Decide how much you are happy to eat before you start eating. Pre-portioning snacks such as nuts can prevent a planned snack turning into grazing where you end up eating more than you realise.

3. Snacks should be PURPOSEFUL
Snacks are important to include if you are genuinely hungry between meals, are over hungry by your next core meal or need a nutritional top up, such as a protein top up.

Nutritional yeast is the perfect protein booster, as it is almost 50% protein, providing 7g protein per 15g serve! πŸ’ͺ🏻 πŸ‘ŠπŸ»

You can use it in cooking to provide a cheesy, nutty and/or savoury flavour, for example:
βœ”οΈ sprinkle over popcorn, pasta, salads or steamed vegetables
βœ”οΈ add to scrambled eggs
βœ”οΈ stir into soups, casseroles or curries
βœ”οΈ add as a β€˜cheese’ flavouring in sauces

One of the keys to feeling satisfied sooner and staying satisfied longer after weight loss surgery is using 'Smart Food Combinations', our signature strategy to keep hunger in check πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

We suggest using a bread and butter or side plate for your meals and to follow this guide to help keep your satisfied:
βœ”οΈ half your plate = protein food
βœ”οΈ one third of your plate = salad or vegetables
βœ”οΈ the rest = a little (preferably low GI) carbohydrate if you desire
βœ”οΈ a little healthy fat.

In this example we have balanced a plate with the four components:
βœ”οΈ BBQ chicken
βœ”οΈ leafy salad
βœ”οΈ chickpeas
βœ”οΈ salad dressing of a little olive oil and vinegar.

Not every meal needs all four components, but if you are finding your hunger is increasing or you are needing larger portions, experimenting with this balance can make all the difference.

You can learn more about Smart Food Combinations in our FREE guide which includes our:

At 9g protein per serve, these Choc Cashew Protein Balls are a delicious, pre-portioned, portable snack πŸ˜‹

Makes 12 Protein Balls
100g cashews
50g almonds
80g high quality protein powder
35g shredded coconut
2 tablespoons cocoa
4 medjool dates
Water to bind

Add nuts to a food processor and process until they form a nut meal. Add the rest of the dry ingredients. Slowly add water until the mixture is moist enough to form balls. Be sure to add the water very slowly as it is easy to add too much which will make the mixture sloppy. Roll into 12 balls.

Nutrition information (per ball): energy 610kJ, calories 146, protein 9g, fat 9g, saturated fat 2g, carbohydrate 7g, fibre negligible.

Choc Cashew Protein Balls are just one of over 100 bariatric surgery specific recipes in Your Complete Guide to Nutrition for Weight Loss Surgery.

Referred to as β€˜the bible’, it is a β€˜must-have’ tool on your journey!

Spoiler alert: weight regain isn’t just about stomach size.

You can out-eat any surgery, even if your procedure was done perfectly 😳

And if you are relying solely on physical restriction without considering your eating habits, weight regain can be inevitable 😳 😳

Three sneaky habits we see involved in regain time and time again are:
βœ”οΈ grazing (which is different from planned snacking)
βœ”οΈ drinking liquid calories
βœ”οΈ drinking with meals.

These are just three of the 21 'Common Culprits' we see involved in weight regain and we are deep-diving into these and more in our FREE online workshop, Halt the Weight Regain Train πŸš‚

In this hour-long, online workshop you will learn:
βœ”οΈ How restriction and under-eating can fuel regain
βœ”οΈ How to spot habits that work against your surgery
βœ”οΈ Why not understanding protein could be costing you results
βœ”οΈ Our favourite practical strategies to turn things around.

We see it often - stress levels rising when hunger starts to return after weight loss surgery.

People often feel like their surgery is no longer working for them.

But the surgery is still there, the key is knowing how to work with it!

Using our signature strategy of 'Smart Food Combinations', you can build meals that will keep you satisfied for as long as possible πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Smart Food Combinations include the following in one meal:
βœ”οΈ protein
βœ”οΈ healthy fat
βœ”οΈ fibre
βœ”οΈ low GI carbohydrate.

Let's take breakfast for example. A breakfast based on Smart Food Combinations is muesli with nuts, seeds, yoghurt and fruit:
βœ”οΈ protein from yoghurt, nuts and seeds
βœ”οΈ healthy fat from nuts and seeds
βœ”οΈ fibre from oats, fruit, nuts and seeds
βœ”οΈ low GI carbohydrate from oats, fruit and yoghurt.

Some other examples of breakfast based on Smart Food Combinations include:
βœ”οΈ poached eggs on grainy toast with avocado
βœ”οΈ overnight oats with oats, milk, fruit and yoghurt
βœ”οΈ porridge made with milk and diced fruit
βœ”οΈ breakfast wrap with grainy wrap, lean bacon, egg, tomato and avocado
βœ”οΈ smoked salmon and avocado on grain toast.

Not every meal needs to contain all four components, however if you are finding you are needing larger portions, or you are not staying satisfied for as long after eating, it is worth experimenting to find the right balance for you.
