snacking :(

Change what you snack on. Olives, Peanuts, seeds, 1 cheese stick, minimal dark choc, raw veggies ....

Change your snacks!
Fruit, natural trail mix, yogurt, low-fat cheese, etc.

Sample Snacks
apple and laughing cow cheese wedge
yogurt and an apple
pineapple chunks with cottage cheese
natural trail mix and an apple/pear/grapes
peanut butter and banana
a smoothie made of almond milk, banana, and peanut butter
a fruit smoothie
Vitatops (Deep Chocolate is my favorite)


When all else fails, aim to pick up water instead of a snack. Try having 2 cups of water BEFORE the snack. You will eat less of it. Chew gum. Busy yourself by focusing on something else other than food.

Hope this helps!

When I exercise, for some reason it makes me not snack... So maybe try exercising more or eat foods that will keep you from getting hungry like nuts for example. Also, chew your food slowly, it will help you realize when you are full.

get the bad stuff OUT of the house. you can't eat what's not there...

This is the best way. Second best is making sure that any snacks that DO remain in the house are healthy snacks, such as almonds, popcorn, carrot sticks, etc. Stuff without sugar. And the bottom line really is that snacking in and of itself isn't a bad thing and won't sabotage your efforts... IF your daily caloric intake and nutritional targets are still on point.

I am trying to make myself snack, just so I am eating something every three hours or so. But yes, it is all in what you choose to snack on. I try and have a lot of fruits/veggies in the house. I love celery or apples with peanut butter. I do a lot of peanut butter snacking. Almonds are great for when you are on the go. Just kinda like what everyone else has been saying.

When you feel like snacking, you can also try to drink water or water with lemons instead, and go for a walk so you take your mind off food.

I am a terrible snacker, especially when my husband is at work on nights and the kids are in bed. I've just recently read a book about binge eating and controlling it, as this is what I tend to do when I am on my own on an evening. I'll go through the cupboards and eat anything really. So, suggestions in the book to try and stop is to give yourself distractions, something to do where you cannot eat whilst you are doing it, such as taking a shower, talking to a friend/relative on the phone, cleaning. I did think that it would be pretty difficult to paint my nails whilst eating. Hope this helps. I'm going to give it a go and hope I can break the habit. x

i looooooove skips and quavers oh and french fries all under 100 cal

Yes. Eat more calories at your main meals and make sure your getting your complex carb, protien and healthy fats. Clean foods. If your eating junk and crap that will cause cravings and feelings of being unsatisfied with the food and can cause and increase in cravings. Food or drink that have artifical sweetners will do this as well. Stay away from processed or box foods. Stay away from juices, pops diet pop, sports drinks that will have artifical sweetners. Get good clean foods that keep you full and satisfied.
Eat healthy snacks like apple with sting cheese or almonds. Cottage cheese low fat with a fruit. ect Pair a protein with a healthy carb.

When I exercise, for some reason it makes me not snack... So maybe try exercising more or eat foods that will keep you from getting hungry like nuts for example. Also, chew your food slowly, it will help you realize when you are full.

This is also good advice.

It takes your brain about 20 minutes or so after starting eating before it "realizes" that it is full. (That's why you can eat and eat and eat and not FEEL full... until about 20 minutes later when it's like, "omg I can't believe I ate that much!!") Chew slowly, take your time to enjoy your meal, and you might find yourself eating with a little more patience and restraint.
