“If you want some snack, have some tea”

Tea is not a snack. If you’re actually hungry and your body is asking for food, giving it only tea is like ignoring the signal.

That’s where distorted “diet” thinking can creep in — swapping food with something that isn’t food at all, just to avoid calories.

Why it’s better to actually snack when hungry

• Your body needs fuel ? if you ignore hunger, it can lead to overeating later.
• Metabolism & mood stay more stable when you eat a little, instead of pushing through.
• Satisfaction ? even a small, balanced snack can stop cravings so you don’t end up thinking about food all day.

Healthy way to look at snacks

Snacks don’t have to be “bad.” A good snack = something small that mixes protein + fiber so it’s filling.

Examples:

• Greek yogurt with a few berries
• Apple slices + peanut butter
• Handful of nuts
• Whole-grain toast with cottage cheese
• Carrots & hummus

That way it’s not about avoiding food — it’s about choosing food that satisfies.

? So the mindset shift is:
“If I want a snack, I can have one. I’ll just pick something that fuels me, not fights me.”
