What makes these Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Bites so amazing?
Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Bites are one of my personal favourite snack recipes while trying to lose weight. After I had my son in the spring of 2020, I found myself wanting to lose the baby weight. Though, I needed to make sure what I was eating was substantial since I was breastfeeding. Not to mention, something I would also enjoy. Let's be real, I know losing weight is extremely difficult and restricting our favourite things can be downright miserable.
But, what about carbs? Aren't they bad?
Don't fear the carbs! Unless you have a diagnosed allergy or medical condition, you should steer clear from eliminating entire food groups. If you know that you will feel deprived and miserable, then just don't do it. I promise you can eat all the foods you love and still lose weight. If you would like to know more about eliminating carbs, take a look at this medically reviewed post on carb cycling. Additionally, please take a look at the nutrition label I've created below.
