    I'm just like you, I definitely prefer salty/savory to anything sweet. The only thing I prefer sweetened is my coffee, and even that I don't sweeten up too much. Cheese is my super weakness, any and all cheese are delicious and easily inhaled by me. I can't substitute, so I just don't buy it, which helps me refrain, haha. Three cheers for self control?

    Pop Chips are great when I'm feeling like chips, too.

    I've found that Greek yogurt is a really good substitute for some of the other snacky foods I love, like dips or sour cream. Or I'll use it to make sauces, or I'll mix it with fruit and honey. I can't say enough good things about!

    Salty - always salty!

    I could manage eating chocolate maybe once a month, but could quite happily exist on a diet of fries, crisps, cheese and crackers. I've found a fairly good substitute though in these little dry roasted chickpeas. Half the calories and fat of a packet of crips and pretty damn tasty. Double the price though :(

    Oooo, I'm gonna check those out - that website is blacklisted on my work computer, but I'll check it out when I get home tonight. They choose to blacklist some of the stupidest things here...it's always baffling to me.

    I am a self proclaimed sugar addict, the only thing that helps with my cravings, is shakeology. The chocolate flavor makes me feel like I'm getting a treat, it helps me reach my protein goal for the day, but I have found that I also do not desire the sweets anymore.
