Hii!

I use it rarely for a midday snack or to replace breakfast and it helps because it does keep me full until my next meal. But it's not something I do regularly so I can't say if it has or has not assisted me in losing weight. But I can say it can be a great alternative sometimes :)

Nice to meet you-I plan to use it more often myself. It helps to have supportive people around!

Oh yes, so much better! I tend to go overboard with how much mayonnaise I use, especially in tunafish. I think it's considered more of a fat, which is a better reason to avoid it all together if possible for sure. Have you ever tried mustard with a handful of pretzels?

Oh wow, that does sound great! Thank you so much for sharing that with me! I love tuna but I have always found it hard to get experimental with it without hearing how it tastes first lol I am going to make tuna one of my main dinner dishes so that I won't be eating so much in the evenings.

I will google it, I have never heard of it before. I have to watch my sodium intake too, do you know if it's high in sodium ? Thank you for letting me know, I am willing to try anything new if I am able to :smile:

Surprisingly, I have never tried hummus. But that sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing!

Oh nice thank you so much! I cannot wait to try those out. and I do love any peppers or onions and salad. ^_^

Thank you so much!! ^_^
