    I clean my teeth for a while; eating with ultra clean teeth is somehow less appealing! It may not work for you, but it seems to work for me.....most of the time! when it doesn't, I eat plain yoghurt.

    I hope it helps!:bigsmile:

    sometimes when i'm hungry, i try a tall glass of water first. if that doesn't help, i like cucumbers, organic baby carrots (they taste MUCH better!), sugar snap peas, popcorn, and occasionally half a sweet and salty almond/dark chocolate granola bar. if i'm really craving chocolate, i've found that brushing my teeth or eating a dill pickle often curbs that craving.

    best of luck!

    I love Pure Protein Bars. Super good and low in sugar (which many protein bars are not). :)

    I like to eat watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumbers, strawberries... all healthy. There's yogurt (80-100 cal) If I want some chocolate, I've got my 80 cal choc pudding :)

    Cheese sticks are only about 110 calories. They taste good and are a good source of protein!

    Watermelon - I eat it only for dinner sometimes - Ha!

    You can log a whole watermelon and still be doing pretty good :) Sure you're groaning from bloat but no pain no gain

    I like to dip frozen strawberries (1Cup for 50 Cal.) in Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup (2Tbsp. for 15 Cal.).
    Sliced red bell pepper (salted) - it satisfies lots of cravings; sweet, crunch, spicy, juicy...

    I am eating my afternoon snack right now, celery sticks and hummus! I frequently pack myself some mini babybel cheese and grapes or an apple, so yummy!

    Watermelon is one of the lower cal fruits and the water+fiber fills you up. Strawberries also work. Plus they make me happy.

    :flowerforyou: Definitely agree with drinking a glass of water along with your snack. :drinker:

    Lightly steamed broccoli is awesome. Great nutrition, low cal, filling, plenty of fibers. If you like it with dip like ranch, a good alternative is low-fat plain yogurt with some seasoning salt (or your personal mix of powdered onion/garlic/salt/etc).

    baby carrots/peppers/cucumbers with light ranch dressing or whatever light dip you prefer! hummus is also very healthy, but i think it's an acquired taste.
    edamame
    certain fruits fill me up more than others (apples, grapes, bananas)
    handful of almonds
