Default Snacks

Hi everyone,

Later at night i start feeling a big demand to nibble something..... especially when i wach TV and the worst thing it's so difficult to stop. Could it be that my portions are too small and i'm start feeling hungry or i just lack some self-control. How do you fight with that? Could you recomend some "friendly" snacks for the phase 1 thanks

What i found to be really tasty for Phase 1 are turkey pepperonis nuked for about 2 min or less. They come out crispy and very good. I feel as if I've eaten some chips.

I like roasted almonds
celery with a little ranch dressing
roasted chickpeas yummm..put some cajun spices on it for a kick
Natural PB with a dollop of cool whip

sometimes I try to just have a cuppa flavored herbal tea to help me get through too

Check out the recipe section. Roasted chick peas and hummus come to mind. And then there's a glass of milk with SF syrup.

I don't watch television, but some snacks I like to nibble on while studying or online or whatever:

raw vegs with hummus or ranch dip (made w/ lf mayo and ff sour cream)
cuke slices with salmon spread
celery with laughing cow lite
my 30 pistachios (in the shell - takes longer, so more satisfying)
string cheese

I always save my 2 daily TBSP of peanut butter for the end of the day. My night snack almost always incorporates it. Either celery with the pb on it or I make the Peanut Butter cup (desserts Phase 1) Peanut Butter has alot of fat in it so normally people don't want to eat it on a diet, but really it is incredibly good for you. It is high in GOOD fats that actually help make your heart healthy. Eating PB helps me feel like I am not on a diet

I hope your brother is healing.
I sometimes snack simply because I am tired and my body doesn't recognize the signal, it just want energy, so I go to sleep if I can.

I'm glad your brother's doing better, grizzly. I know I'd be a wreck if anything happened to my dear little (well, okay - he's 30 and a foot taller than me!) brother.

One other thing - sometimes our bodies mistake thirst for hunger. Are you getting enough water (64 fl ozs/day)?
