Переглядів 838,280
3 роки томуWith Americans stuck at home, snack food has become a valuable commodity for the pandemic stressed consumer. North American sales of savory snacks like chips, popcorn, and pretzels climbed to $56.9 billion in 2020. In stressful times, people turn to snacking for comfort and Covid-19 has transformed kitchens across the U.S. into giant vending machines. So, has Covid-19 put an end to the shift to healthier snacks?

The majority of aisles in America are usually just covered wall to wall with chips and snacks. and it's not just the chip aisle either! you can go down the fruit and vegetable aisle and there's chips like in the middle, or you can go down like the cereal aisle and there's chips on the end of each aisle and it's like end to end front-to-back chips and cookies and crackers and all the what my ex would call "Zus zus and Wham whams"

Drinking water right away after eating food helps a lot. Since Ramadan is starting, fasting helps too.. not for all lol. It's what Muslims do. Eat nothing from dusk till dawn. Not even drink. This forces body to use stored fat as energy & relaxes complete body. Problem with eating 3 times a day is, your body is using it's maximum energy to digest that food. It never gets to relax. Give a chance. Nothing is bad if you eat in moderation & know when to stop. I myself eat just once a day, it's usually a big meal. That is all. Few days a week I snack late evenings but I think one time meal is more than enough for someone to stay healthy. Do not fall for what doctors say. You are not a toddler or a teenager. Those 2 types of people need a lot of food, because they are still growing.

I worked in a photography museum as a summer gig. One thing I noticed. In the photos before 1940s, I could barely see any overweight people. Only tad overweight people were the older people. It got me thinking maybe back in the days people don’t snack as much. People had proper home made meals 3 times a day and did a lot of mechanical work since not everything was super electronically advanced as today. People had to hand wash their clothes, rode bikes to the grocery store, prep their meals, enjoyed physical activities as there wasn’t cell phones. The fact that people are blaming hormones and thyroids for their overweight problems is ridiculous.

I live in the Netherlands, my 14 years old daughter is underweight because of growing fast in a short time, she needs to gain 5 kg to not be underweight anymore. We don't have the habbit of snacking but now she has to eat between meals from the dietist. It is hard to not join her in snacking so I think it is very difficult to not snack if you live in a country where everybody is doing it.

People in the comments are acting as if you are committing a crime. I was a hungry 14 yo that happened to be underweight. I was eating all the time and wanted to. But it was hard to put on weight because I was very active. But that summer we went to a place where there was low physical activity and lots of kcal dense foods and then I gained weight. It takes a lot of work to gain 5 kg, and I'm glad you are putting in the effort to help your 14 yo kid.

@Sir Lord ian Of essex Intermittent fasting works primarily through hunger management. Feeling less hungry throughout the day means you eat fewer calories, and intermittent fasting can make you feel less hungry between meals. Dabble with a few options to figure out which ones keeps you feeling full, and go with those. If you're really trying to find "the best" option, nothing beats weighing food and tracking protein/calories, like weightlifters often do. There's plenty of apps for that, like chronometer. But that's just if you're looking for "the most effective" option. Really, go with what leads to sustainable progress.

It's simple, don't keep chips or packaged snacks at home, at least not on a regular basis. I have one snack a day (most days) which is my 5 p.m. snack. I don't usually worry about it being too healthy and might have a baked good like a croissant or a slice of (homemade) banana bread and coffee (black). However it's once a day and I never have chips or that kind of thing, because I know that kind of snack isn't at all filling and will have me wanting another snack in less than 2 hours. Other than that I have 3 balanced meals a day, drink plenty of water and don't deprive myself of dessert if I want some. I've always eaten like this, the pandemic was no reason to change and I didn't gain any weight.

Unfortunately American food lost its culture. Our food used to be for farmers or those working in manufacturing. Full 3 square meals with lots of protein and carbs was our thing. A lot of people eat out more often so I think we just forgot what our food means to us. That’s why so many people snack more often at home. We just don’t know what to eat tbh.

This didn’t answer the question. Americans were eating tons of snacks before COVID as well. I think generally our “on the go” culture is built better for snacks as opposed to sit down, prepared meals. Also in America we tend to associate fun with food (getting a drink with friends, eating popcorn during a movie or show, eating peanuts at a game, etc etc). Snacks are embedded into our every day and special occasions.

I can't say if I lost weight but I certainly didn't gain any. Watching pictures of my kids at this time, I realised that they certainly looked thinner.

Americans are obsessed with eating. It’s our social life, our coping mechanism, our way to pass time. Even looking at the current diet plans they all promise to “eat more and loose weight.” Couple that with vanity sizing of our clothing (go ahead measure your waist at the navel and compare to the size pant you wear) and we are becoming more and more accepting of unhealthy weight. I’m a physical therapist and have seen so many weight related problems. It seems men especially have a magic mirror that erases the extra 40lbs they carry. When I tell a guy he has a BMI of >30 I often get told that it’s because they are so muscular that the charts don’t apply. Someday I hope we will look at our diets and realize that we consume way too much. I have always thought health insurance premiums should be tied to BMI, percent body fat, and waist size. The more unhealthy you choose to be the more you pay.

This phenomenon didn't express itself in my household. I was never allowed to snack. And junk food treats were very limited, just for very special occasions. My mom made everything from scratch. So, I continued eating exactly the way I've always eaten: I cooked from scratch--though perhaps a bit more elaborately than usual to fill up the free time. I did remember going to the grocery store right at the outset of the pandemic. I was amazed that people were buying so much frozen and processed food. I bought a large sack of beans and a pretty big pork butt.
