The following snack ideas will help you stick with your New Year's weight loss resolution.

Baggie Snack Ideas to Help Stick with Your New Year's Weight Loss Resolution

· Make individual bags of nuts to take in your lunch box. Pick several different kinds of your favorite nuts and separate them into baggies. By mixing the types of nuts, you make the snack more appealing to the taste buds. This is a great protein snack.

· Throw together your own trail mix. Put nuts, dry cereal, and fruit together in baggies for a homemade trail mix snack. This snack will tempt the taste buds with flavors from very different food combinations.

Fruit Snack Ideas to Help Stick with Your New Year's Weight Loss Resolution

· Carry some apple slices and peanut butter with you. Already having the apples sliced makes for ease of eating when in a hurry during your lunch break. Those little jars of peanut butter fit perfectly in small lunch bags. This is a healthy alternative to a sweet treat.

· Pack refrigerated items like yogurt or grapes and other cold fruits if you have access to a refrigerator at work. Mixing the yogurt and fruit together makes for an even healthier snack.

Low Carb Snack Ideas to Help Stick with Your New Year's Weight Loss Resolution

· Another good suggestion if you have a refrigerator handy is slices of meat and cheese. Put together some meat and cheese rollups. These make great low carb snacks.

· Pack some beef jerky or other meat sticks for a snack. These are small and very portable. You don't need them every day because of the salt content, but for an occasional snack, they are great.

· Take protein bars or drinks. There are numerous varieties of protein snacks available. These are a great way to get the required protein on a low carb diet without overdoing the carbohydrates themselves.

I'm sure if you sit down and think about it, you'll come up with some more great ideas for snacks to help you stick with your New Year's weight loss resolution. Mix the snacks up during the week so you don't get bored and they are sure to help you reach your weight loss goals.
