    http://popchips.com/

    That is the website, & you can put in your zip code to find where they sell them by you. My favorite is the BBQ ones as well. I get them at Target, and they only sell the big bags here.

    anything is fine in moderation...

    Try veggie straws (the ones I like are made by Clancy's)...they..are...PHENOMENAL! I found these at Aldi's for $1.49 for a giant bag...

    If it is hard for you to control yourself, then it's best not to have it near you..out of site, out of mind! My vice is cashews...I only buy them one in a blue..

    I have tried the veggie straws from Aldi's and they are very good!!!

    alternatives i choose are:
    rice cakes
    pickles
    cucumbers
    veggie chips(instead of potato) found in chip aisle

    all give you that crunch feeling and you are satisfied after :)

    Whole wheat Pita chips rock! Made w sea salt and Rosmary. They come in a small bag at Walmart(buy the deli in my store $2.50) and I dip them in all natural hummus which I also get at Walmart! SO good. Also if you are going to do chips make sure they are whole wheat like tostitos. Whole wheat will stay with you longer.

    Once and a blue moon ill treat myself to doritos blue ranch because those are my favvvvv- but still keep it in my calorie limit.

    Otherwise pop chips are AMAZING!!! all diff flavors and really great calorie/fat wise. Also baked chips; i hate the baked lays they taste gross to me but the baked doritos and cheetos are great. Both pop chips & baked chips come in individual bags so you dont have to worry about consuming too much!

    I love Terra chips but they aren't really low cal so I have to make sure I portion them out. So worth it IMO.

    Haha, after getting more and more confused, I just realised you're talking about crisps!

    I thought this was about chips - which are fried potatoes!

    Two nations divided by a common language...

    Walkers do Worcester Sauce French Fries, at 92 calories a bag. They are thin sticks which I think must be baked, rather than fried - they're very tasty. :)

    Special K has come up with "cracker chips" and personally I think they are great. You might also look into sweet potato chips.

    Where did u find those? I have been looking and cannot come across them

    No more chips :) Its a new lifestyle, did you ever get skinny eating chips?
    Let me suggest get your weight you want off, ... off! and work on having it maintained, and
    it will be, as long as you stay commited to your determination the weight and health will remain
    for the rest of your life! How amazing is that!?
    I think eating that sorta stuff is our old self telling us not to be healthy. its telling us to be weak and
    that we can't do it.
    and you can do it!

    I agree with you in one way, in that someone eating chips regularly is doing nothing to break the habits that got them fat in the first place.

    However, there is no food that cannot be a part of a healthy diet, it's just a question of eating it at more appropriate intervals. Last night I really fancied savoury snacks and had some - but that must the the first in at least a fortnight or two.

    The problem comes when people regard things like chips and chocolate as part of their daily diet!

    aaaack, my biggest weakness!!!
    Salt & Vinegar.
    I am trying to be good.... airpopped popcorn with a spritz of vinegar is the alternative.

    Be careful with those "light chips" because they have olestra!

    That's what I was going to say. Unless you are a fan of anal leakage, I'd be cautious.

    I could eat chips all day every day for the rest of my life. So I don't buy them anymore. I don't snack anymore. It's working!

    I don't think you should give anything up. It's all about learning portion sizes. I still eat chips. I don't get the baked ones or the veggie ones or anything like that and while I didn't stay thin eating chips, I've never stuck with a diet that deprives either. I think you can eat anything you want to in moderation. The only person you have to answer to in the end is yourself.

    Rice chips! I get them in salt and vinegar--one serving is 8 chips (and they're really cracker-sized, fairly dense) for 60 calories. The sodium is reasonable for salt and vinegar, too! I buy Eating Right (Safeway) brand.
