Oh a dehydrator..I'd love to make some jerky! Are those expensive?

Haha think of all the great tasting protein tho!0 -

Great choices! I might start making chocolate almond milk chia seed pudding again...I remember it being delicious and full of protein...tastes like pudding! I have to trick myself
Curious, how much protein? Almond milk has very little and you would have to use a whole lot of chia seeds to get significant protein.0 -

Silk - Unsweetened Soy Milk, 1 cup 80 cals, 3 carbs, 4 fat, 7 protein, 2 fiber, 1sugar0 -
Protein snacks (individual serving cheeses (especially Supremo Queso Fresco), crispy chickpeas, Sharwood's puppodums, dry-roasted soybeans). High-volume/low-cal foods, like sauerkraut or raw veggies (cucumber & jicama are particular favorites for me). Cottage cheese with cumin, turmeric, and smoked hot sauce (or hot sauce plus smoked paprika).
Alternatives to food: Exercise, even just a short walk; a hobby that keeps one's hands and mind busy (one that requires clean hands is especially useful) - I do various crafts, or practice the banjo.0 -
Cinnamon gum. Or a gourmet and really good hard candy. Satisfying. I only want one or two. I would have no control if it were chocolate kisses. I would want to eat half of the bag.0
-
I'll grab some jerky or cheese (love the Laughing Cow wedges), maybe a square of chocolate (Moonstruck dark chocolate with sea salt and hazelnut is divine).0
-
low carb toast with a little reduced cal preserves0

yea, i do this too. hot green tea + a bag (or two) of baby carrots.
For some reason, the crunching and light sweetness of the baby carrots seems to help curb the cravings (vs. eating something sweeter). It's still a few hundred calories if I eat enough carrots, but at least that's better than a few thousand.

What if you've got a serious sweet tooth? Right now I want chocolate chip cookies so bad, I could hop into my car and go to the grocery store and it's 10:40pm. It's like nothing else will do. I need chocolate!
If you have a little self control, try the assorted bag of Hershey's miniatures. That's what I do. I can get 2 and stop. That's about 80 calories.
If you think you might eat the whole bag, DONT DO IT! Lol!0 -

Use the chocolate light silk and look up chia seeds, full of protein and they gel after awhile in the fridge so it's very filling! And satisfying.0 -
Ah, soy milk. That makes a lot more sense.0

Ditto, though I pick tea.
If that doesn't work, then Cream of Wheat with cocoa powder and sweetener (kind of a hot chocolate porridge-y thing). Works with Oat Bran, too.
After those, I'm sunk and I'll just get what I want.0 -

Chocolate Almond milk...:) well whatever you want. I don't do anything soy personally.0 -
The absolute no calorie and actually good for me, my technique to fight those hunger bouts, just drink a couple of glasses of water.Kind of tricking your stomach that it has food or fullness, works for me.Otherwise I would eat a piece of raw vege or fruit.0

When I need chocolate RIGHTNOW I combine lowfat vanilla yogurt with a squirt of sugar free chocolate syrup swirled in. Yum!0 -
I just think about how I good I look now that I lost all the weight and why do I want to ruin that, especially since I have to look good for my trip to _____ in a few months. I mean X relative/friend hasn't seen me in person at all since I lost the weight and I want to show off.
That's generally enough for me to find something else to do until actual meal time arrives.0 -
Hot tea with a splash of skimmed milk usually does the trick.0
-
I lost it the other night and ate the entire kitchen but then I got back on track right away the next morning and guess what I lost more weight the next day! just saying but next time when you get really hungry grab a glass of water, half of a victory cookie dough protein bar and that is only 100 calories, this always satisfies me and it is high in fiber. 0

I have a 5lb tub of Whey Gold Standard extreme milk chocolate protein powder. When I get the chocolate cravings I have 1 scoop (120 calories) and that seems take care of the cravings.0 -
I find something to keep myself busy.
If I'm still hungry after an hour, I'll eat an apple and then get busy again.0 -

All Awesome ideas, thank you. Im finding ways to substitute more. I'm pretty much checking out my macros more often and making getting them where I want them each day. It's coming along. Sodium and fat are common for me to keep in check Im finding. It's going well

Mints... Peppermint, spearmint... Helps control cravings and also works well for nausea. Drink water. Portioned out pistachios are my go to items0 -
My go-to lately has been big raw carrots. There's just something about grabbing a few carrots out of the fridge, washing them, and then munching on them for a while (I don't peel mine, you don't really have to). You get to take big crunchy bites because they're so large. They're also sweet for a vegetable so that helps. And they're healthy so I never feel badly eating them because the alternative would be sweets.0
