My friend Alisha, is a relatively new Weight Watcher who shares details of her journey along with Weight Watchers friendly meal plans on her blog, Meal Planning Mommies.

I love the resources she is compiling to help herself and other Weight Watchers be successful. A few weeks ago I shared a great Fast Food Survival Guide with SmartPoints for Weight Watchers she had compiled.

Well, she’s done it again with a great list of Snacks with 4 SmartPoints or Less.

As I explained way back in 2014 when I compiled this list of 24 Healthy Snacks for Weight Loss, when you are desperate to lose weight, it’s tempting to see how long you can go without eating.

Unfortunately, it’s an idea that can backfire on you big time if you end up getting over-hungry and inhaling too much of whatever you can get your hands on.

That’s where healthy snacks come in.

I’m not talking about mindless munching on junk. The key is to be strategic with your snacking to keep your hunger at bay, your blood sugar level and your thinking clear.
