Lowered Sugar Instant Oatmeal

any kind of turkey
any reduced fat cheese (but preferably swiss or cottage cheese)
almonds (the flavored ones are especially good craving-killers)
green tea
baby carrots
grapefruit
hummus (Tribe Forty Spices is AH-mazing)
Snapea Crisps

I talked to a nutritionist about 8 weeks ago. At that time I had hit a plateau in my weight reduction quest. She recommended to drink 1/2 my weight in ounces of water every day in order to keep my stomach full and eat less. Which means if you weigh 180, you drink 90 ounces of water. I started dropping weight immediately because I was keeping full. This liquid intake did include coffee or tea too but not diet soda or anything with artificial sweeteners. It has really helped me eliminate that urge to snack.

Foods I do keep on hand are baby carrots, celery, cheerios, Fago or other greek yogurt, and fruit like pears, apples, grapes and bananas, pistachios or other nuts. Things that don't take any preparation. I have found that snacking on processed foods just make me feel more hungry.

Hope that idea helps.

Okay my list might be a little different, because I am gluten intolerant and have a dairy sensitivity (no wheat, rye, barley, or oats, and dairy only twice a week).

1. Everything to make my smoothies: baby spinach, frozen berries, bananas, almond milk. (makes the best snack)
2. All types of fresh fruit- apples, oranges, grapefruits
3. Fresh veggies- radishes, carrots, celery, snap peas, cucumbers
4. Quinoa - it is one of the only grains that has both protein and fiber. I also love brown rice.
5. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
6. Babybel Light Cheeses (50 calories, 6g protein each)
7. Hummus and almond butter for my veggies!
8. Ezekiel bread (sprouted grain bread- packed with fiber and protein.
9. Dark chocolate- it is actually good for you. One (or two) squares a day satisfies a sweet tooth and it's high in antioxidants!
10. Lara Bars- some have more calories than others, but they are made completely of fruit and nuts, so they have lots of nutrients and fiber.

Just a note: eating foods high in fiber and/or protein will keep you full longer. However, every meal should be a good balance of carbs, protein, and healthy fats. I use the following: A handfull of carbs, a palm full of protein, and a thumbfull of fat (olive oil, dressing, avocado, etc.)
