filling hung pangs!

hi , ive gone from 11 and a half stone to 10 in about 2 months, im just trying to shred the last couple of pounds but its so difficult to stop hunger pangs and trying to restrict my meals , so if you could give me advice on small low calorie snacks it would really help?

    Watermelon! Two cups of watermelon is 90 calories and will make you feel like you've eaten a gigantic dinner. My husband and I always snack on it when we watch tv at night instead of chips or ice cream.

    One of the BEST low calorie and very filling snacks that I have been eating recently is Low Fat Greek Yogurt - Plain and just add blueberries, rasberries or blackberries.

    So filling and it tastes like dessert.

    I spent years and years and years (and years) looking for the combination that would let me control pangs/cravings/binges, and found that besides restricting carbs to veggie and fruit carbs ONLY, eliminating sugar, and praying for strength ( seriously) the best food I can eat is nuts!

    My doctor, a great guy, suggested "a small handful" of nuts before meals. I went a small step further, limiting my protein to egg/egg white and about 2/3 c. of nuts in my dinner salad.

    I also believe that, although counter intuitive, intermittent fasting also helps relieve the pang problem.

    I feel content and happy with what I'm doing, and so far all of my medical advisors (internist, gyno, endo) agree!

    Hope you finds the particular combo that works for you!
