No “Earth shattering” news but perhaps just a friendly reminder on things to have handy, taken from Women’s Health Magazine.
Stop Cravings: Healthy Foods That Satisfy Salt and Sugar Cravings
These reverse-gateway foods taste like cheating, but they'll help you get back on the weight-loss wagon.
Sunflower Seeds
They're packed with nutrients, and snacking on a handful may regulate your nerves and muscles.
Eat this: A 1/4-cup serving
Plain Frozen Yogurt with Fresh Fruit
It has less fat than ice cream but five grams of filling protein per serving. Fruit gives it more flavor, texture, and vitamins.
Eat this: 1 1/2 cups
Dark Chocolate
Just a small portion of this antioxidant-filled treat satisfies a sweet tooth.
Eat this: 1 oz. dark chocolate with 65 percent (or more) cacao
Pistachios
They satisfy a salt craving while delivering more natural antioxidants than most other nuts. Plus, the shells will slow you down.
Eat this: 30 in-shell nuts
Mini Whole-Wheat Pretzels
Crunchy and packed with fiber to keep you fuller longer, so you won't reach for a higher-calorie food.
Eat this: 1 oz. pretzels (about a handful)

Thank you for posting this. I have written them down. Let me emphasize that it is important to pay attention to portion size. If you don't you'll just be sabotaging your efforts if you sit down and eat the whole bag, bar, or container. Portion size is one of the keys to losing weight.0
