Hi Everyone!
Just posting here because i have tried a few things that have worked for me through these amazing recommendations and lately i have been more on the health foodie natural track and reducing things like dairy/ carbs etc and focusing more on things like vegetables and alternatives proteins for health reasons (as recommended by Medical Medium)
In the past i have tried crackers and laughing cow cheese and it worked amazingly but i wanted to recommend to everyone "Flackers" - i was using it with the cheese at one point but wanted to reduce dairy so now i make a homemade dip of: red peppers and a bunch of other yummy things. (Recipe below) I used the Flackers + Dip as a replacement for breakfast and dessert and it has totally helped! It's only 2g net carbs per serving and no sugar! My weight loss hasnt been impacted by switching to more natural, alternative products like this. I totally feel like i am eating regular crackers without the guilt!
I eat 6-7 crackers at a time with 1-2 tablespoons of red pepper dip twice a day in place of breakfast and dessert. Alternatively you can use it as your snack but i replace my snack usually with RAW Meal Protein powder in vanilla which has worked for me wonderfully.
Link to buy crackers is on AMAZON - just search "Flackers"
