    Nuts, almond butter, kale chips, roasted vegetables. I make these and keep them in my freezer

    So it's been two weeks since I removed refined sugar from my diet at the suggestion of my acupuncturist along with caffeine and alcohol. It was a rough first week but now I am really starting to feel good! So I am thinking the weight should just slide off by eliminating these items from my diet, because sweets are a big weakness of mine. But I find myself reaching for nuts, seeds, cheese for a snack, which I know are OK in moderation but I am falling flat on ideas. Any suggestions are welcome, note I am not completely avoiding carbs but want to keep them moderate. Thanks!

    Here are some off the wall idea.
    Quest bars - some carbs, but no surgar.
    Carb friendly bread. 15 carbs, 10 of which are fiber and it has 10g of protien.
