Hey! magnificent- got them at a supermarket in the chocolate/baking/granola aisle - wasnt near the "diet" stuff (and i dont live in the states so its HIGHLY likely you will be able to find them where u are!:happy: ) so far, its them and peanut butter/cottage cheese/splenda that has helped my sweet tooth cravings! woot! o,…

i have a similar problem........ i find that adding more protein usually helps. Having eggs for breakfast starts the day off on a full stomach and then cutting an apple and eating it throughout the day is good too - the fiber keeps me full. Also, cottage cheese and peanut butter is a good afternoon snack! :happy: other…
