cutting down on carbs

sullyk85

Everyone I'm doing okay staying within my calories but am finding it hard to cut down on carbs and am usually over my sugar. Any tips or alternative snacks to carbs?

I went to answer this and then had to stop. WTF, low-carb snacks? :O

Hard boiled eggs help a lot when I'm all of a sudden starving and don't want to reach for my usual hunger killers. Grab some water, too - though I bet you're tired of hearing that (I get so tired of being told to drink water!)

Nuts, a cheese stick .. uhm..

Make a conscious decision to only eat a portion of a serving. I tend to divide a package of nabs into two or three snacks, and it helps me take the edge off.

Oh. If you're still drinking soda, stop! XD

Think protein!
Sliced turkey + a pickle
Sliced turkey + a mini cucumber
Hard boiled egg
Vegetables
Celery and hummus or laughing cow cheese
Trader Joe's seaweed snacks (not filling, but salty and crunchy)
Greek yogurt (unless you a doing hard core no carb)
Part skim mozzarella cheese stick or Babybel
Kale chips (google a how-to)

Your baby is a cutie-pie!

I agree with the others.
Pick some protein foods and a little bit of fat to keep you sated.
