Munchies Killers
 

How do you kill the munchies? In the evening when I'm winding down and watching tv or reading, I tend to get the munchies REALLY badly. How do you handle this? Chew gum, brush your teeth, eat celery? Let's share tips and ideas!

Hot green tea with stevia or pickles.

raw sugar snap peas, water or tea

air popped popcorn w/ "spray" butter (I can't believe its not butter or Olivo) and shake on popcorn flavors (kettle corn w/ a sprinkle of sea salt.....mmmmm). Kills the munchies and helps with the need to have something to eat while watching tv at night....

Pureed vegetable soup.

My favorite snack is a 25 calorie packet of diet swiss miss with a 10 calorie mini cup (the liquid) of land o lake half and half with a packet of stevia. Its rich and delicious to say the least.

I'm a smoker. It kills my appetite for the most part. I'm NOT advocating that in any way though, of course.

I'm a sucker for blackberries.

I love blackberries and cottage cheese

A cup of healthy cereal eaten dry makes a pretty good munchie or how about salsa and cuke chips ... yummy!
I also like Weight Watchers String Cheese ... it's fun to peel and eat and has only 50 calories each.

I try to drink water, and throw in some sunflower seeds yum

wasabi/kale chips.

I second green / herbal tea sweetened with stevia. I particularly like the Yogi brand of herbal teas.

A third of a cup of sunflower or pumpkin seeds in the shell and a cup of unsweetened tea or a diet soda. It takes a while to shell and eat the seeds.

Another trick that I use is to chew gum. It keeps my mouth busy and tends to help when I think I'm hungry even if I don't need the calories. If I am truly hungry and need the calories, the gum won't work....its a good way to see if you're truly hungry and need a good snack or just "hungry" for other reasons....

Water with lemon juice, almond milk with a teaspoon of coco, and light popcorn.
