5 Oil free snack recipes to satisfy the hunger pangs

Are you trying to watch your weight? If so, the first thing you need to do is cut back on oily and fried food. Greasy foods are high in calories, fat, salt and refined carbs and low in fibre, vitamins and minerals. No doubt, they are an enjoyable treat but you can’t deny the negative impact of these foods on your body and health. Having these foods frequently can lead to heart diseases, weight gain, bloating, diarrhoea, acne, diabetes and impaired brain function. 

While it’s okay to enjoy these foods once in a while, you should try to limit the intake and choose healthier options. This is where the oil-free snacks come in. They are the perfect option for you if you want to indulge in some guilt-free snacking. These will also keep your weight and overall health in check.
