FAQ:
Q: Are all processed snacks harmful?

A: Start by replacing one snack a day with a healthier option. Gradual changes are more sustainable than going cold turkey.
Q: Do I need to eliminate all sugars?
A: No, but focus on natural sources like fruits, honey, or dates — and consume in moderation.

A: Prep in bulk! For example, slice veggies or portion trail mix on the weekend to make weekday snacking easy.
