Truth: low carb snacks are some of the tastiest and most filling out there. 

Science shows that protein and fat tend to be more filling than carbohydrates. And don't forget about fiber-rich veggies! They also keep your tummy happy for longer, because they digest slower than refined carbohydrates like pasta or white rice.
