Nature Valley Simple Nut Bar - I recently tried these and really like them. Just nuts, seeds and a little sweetener to hold it all together. It's a tasty and filling snack.

Are you in the US? I could not find this on the Nature Valley website.

Sorry for the duplicate post, I could not figure out how to delete the first one.

Prawns! Before I decided to lose weight I didn't eat much fish or seafood, and only really tried prawns because they were a low-calorie source of protein and went with lots of things I liked to eat (stir fries, pasta etc.)

Now I LOVE crab, crayfish, prawns, squid, mussels, and might not have tried them for years otherwise.

I really have come to enjoy vegetables alot. I now look forward to seeing what's in season. I've also discovered that I really like stuffing baked potatoes with barbeque chicken. With low-fat sour cream, that dish is a winner! I also have enjoyed breakfast, with greek yogurt and a half cup of cereal. For years I didn't eat breakfast, but I found on this diet, I really need to eat. Otherwise, cravings for snack foods hit me big-time. Now I really enjoy breakfast, and it holds me fine until lunch. What I found I did NOT like? Turkey burgers. Blech! and protein bars. Double blech!

It's been fun to try new foods.

Butternut squash which now is one of my favourite vegetables, lentils, feta, wholemeal tortilla wraps which i think taste better than white ones, who knew!

I kind of love that I know of a produce item that someone else hasn't heard of. Five years ago, that would not have been the case at all. I knew less about produce than anyone!!

Most pluots are too pearish-tasting to me (even though I don't think there is any pear on them), but I really like the dinosaur eggs. They have a little bit more zip and might be a little sweeter than the other pluots.

I think it is a brand name because they have stickers that say Dinosaur Egg on them and that's what they're called in Publix, but at Winn-Dixie, they're pluots. Unsure if that is a local thing.

Yes, in the US. I'd seen them advertised on TV, then Kroger sent me a coupon so I gave them a try.

brussel sprouts, raw dressed as a salad
tahini, lemon, garlic dressing (on just about everything)
1% or 2% greek yogurt. Not all the time but good to have on had when you need to really be satisfied
