Here are some healthy, flavorful foods that are sure to satisfy any hunger pains without over doing it!
* FiberOne Bars - chocolate is my favorite. You can get a great deal at Costco...huge box for cheap
* Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches - tastes just like an ice cream sandwich. You would never guess it's healthy!
* Ritz Whole Wheat Crackers - if you like the original Ritz you'll love these too!
* Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges - very good on whole grain mini bagel, english muffin, or whole wheat crackers
* Honey-Wheat Crackers - my favorite snack!
* Good Start Egg Substitutes - can't tell the difference yet MUCH healthier
* Quaker Rice Cakes - love all the flavors
* Grilled Chicken - I grill a weeks worth at a time. That way when I want to add some chicken to a salad, casserole, corn tortilla or anything its already cooked and ready to go! Rather than putting mine in a freezer/storage bag I already have it portioned control in little sandwich bags
* Back to Nature Organic Stoneground Wheats. Baked with wheat & flaxseed crackers - YUMMY! You get them at Costco. SOOO yummy with the Laughing Cow Cheese
* Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies - ok, really there is nothing healthy about this, BUT I do make a make (really whatever cookies, mine just happen to be pumpkin chocolate chip this time around) and I freeze the cookie dough. Then, when I'm REALLY craving something sweet and warm, like a cookie, I bake only how many i'm going to allow myself to eat. I usually do two or three SMALL cookies. Helps you not overeat the sweets.
Since I started watching what I was snacking/eating and slimming down my portions I have lost 13 pounds. And haven't cut ANYTHING out of my diet that I don't like to eat. Just smarter about it. Anyway, hope some of these healthy snack ideas help you out with losing weight or just staying healthy. I have to add one last thought/lecture....DO NOT convince yourself that by just skipping eating all together you can lose weight and "get back on track". Then once you start eating again it will be harder to keep it off...just do it right the first time and make good habits!
