Why Low Carb Snacks Help with Weight Loss

Low-carb snacks are a great tool for weight loss because they help keep blood sugar levels stable, curb cravings, and prevent the dreaded afternoon slump. When we eat foods high in carbs, our blood sugar spikes, which leads to a crash that often triggers hunger. Low-carb options keep your metabolism steady, helping you stay full longer.
