“Healthy Snack” Is an Oxymoron
There is no such thing as a “healthy snack”
This is the first article in the mini-series of three inspired by three excellent Medium stories by Debra G. Harman, MEd., Maria Rattray, and Brendareeves, MEd., linked below.
Although those stories are very different in many ways: style, content, level of detail, etc. — all three have one common denominator, which might not be obvious to most people. And this is what prompted me to come up with this mini-series.
If you are interested in the topic of weight loss/gain, and if you want to understand why it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain a healthy weight for most of us, you will enjoy reading this mini-series. And most likely, you will learn something new along the way.
To show what I’m talking about, we’ll need to take a look at some well-established science basics. It is not anything new in the science world, but rather some super-simplified concepts from a textbook, such as the foundational book by Dr. Jason Fung (no affiliation), or similar sources.
