  • 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.
