During her two-month journey, I taught "Back to You" makeover recipient Sherry Kas the importance of eating every three to four hours to keep the body metabolism humming.
As a part of this goal, snacking is very important and you have to plan for it. Here are some of the ideas I gave to Sherry. Most of these items can be found in a typical grocery store, Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. If you have a farmer's market near you, that is a great resource for fresh, whole foods.
