CRAVINGS!!! Help me!

At the beginning of the week, I pop a big old bag of Jollytime Blast o Butter popcorn. I take 2 cups every day to work for a snack, and it's only 90 calories for 2 cups. That keeps my salty cravings at bay.

When I'm craving sweets I always go for fresh fruit...if you're really craving salty, go for a handful of sunflower seeds! I often keeps sunflower seeds near me in case I get a salt craving!! A full serving is a quarter of a cup, and I generaly don't even eat that before my salt craving goes away! Hope this helps a little

P.S. usually 1 Tbs = about 50 calories! sometimes easier to go by Tbs because if you're like me it's hard to measure out a quarter cup LOL

world gourmet sensible portions ..cinnamon apple straws and bbq potato straws they are super good 38 of them for 130 calories.try them it sounds weird but they taste great you can buy them at walmart

I grab a bottle of water and drink it. By the time I am done with it my cravings are gone. Then I can go for what is healthy instead of what my taste buds tell me to go for.

You may be super surprised but one serving of pork rinds might do you all the difference! I buy spicy el mexicano brand and they have:

OH WOW!! See thats exactly what Im talking about. Foods like those would keep me on track.

Me too!! I'm cutting out carbs but I love the salty crunchy yummieness and lets be realistic if you feel like your cheating but really aren't your morale will stay high!

I have horrible cravings especially after I work out or when Im driving. I know I can use fruits and veggies as snacks, but they just dont cut it! Often Im looking for the salty, crunchy snacks like nuts and crakers or sweet snack like debbies or dried fruit.

Please help me! What are some low-calorie snack ideas so I dont eat 800 calories in snacks when I go on my craving episode lol. Convenience is key as well.

Well lets break down the cravings and the foods to help remedy that
*sweets, post workout drink 1-2 cups of 1% choc milk 5-10 mins post workout, then about 15 mins drink a protein shake with some fruit in it*
*salty- to remedy this eat a few almonds with the shake or take an omega 3 fish oil supplement*
*Crackers buy some wasa rye crisps, if you are still craving crackers eat 1 of these topped with some hummus*

if you are just a week or 2 into this then the body is still having withdrawal from sugar and salt ladden diets, it will take some time to get off it and onto the healthier options. The choc milk by the way is one of the best means of recovering post workout but only drink it right after the workout, the sugar will go directly to the muscles and not to the waistline.
