Instead of having a brownie with ice cream, whipped cream, peanuts, and fudge for a late night snack I...um, only have half of the portion that I used to. And no peanuts, cause wow so many calories. :laugh:0 -
Instead of butter, I use organic extra virgin cold-pressed unrefined coconut oil by Carrington Farms, and instead of sour cream, I use plain low-fat yogurt.0

Try making the Kale chips. You will love them. I make them when I am having a chip craving.0

For potato chip cravings, try microwaved potato chips! Takes 4-6 minutes in microwave (thinly sliced with mandoline) and you have true low calorie, no fat chips! I leave the peelings on for nutrition, too!0

Instead of IHOP breakfast, I have a slice of homemade French toast with cinnamon, fresh blueberries, and Cary's sugar free syrup. I seriously prefer it, too.0 -

I just eat what I was craving but in moderation. Stay with in my calories who gives a crap!0

Instead of chips or pretzels, I eat an apple or some strawberries. You'd think since apples and strawberries aren't salty and crunchy that they'd be a poor substitute, but I've gotten quite used to it and I very rarely crave the chips anymore.0

Okay, here's my real answer:
Instead of "low fat", "light", and "fat free" foods, I opt for the full fat and regular (and, less processed!) versions.0
