One of the hardest things for me with weight loss is not giving in to cravings. I have a horrible sweet tooth, and it's so much easier to grab junk food when you are hungry. Fortunately I love fruit and most vegetables.
However, I find it helpful to make up a list of snacks that are healthy, buy the groceries for those snacks, and keep the list where I can see it, like on the refrigerator! Here's a list I compiled. Maybe it will help you too. Feel free to suggest other ones!
Rice cake w/ PB (peanut butter), nutella, berries
Yogurt and fruit
Laughing cow cheese & crackers
Cottage cheese
Celery sticks or apple w/pb
Sugar free pudding or jello w/fruit
Fruit salad
Baked tortilla chips and salsa
Trifle made w/angel food cake, pudding, berries
Whole wheat hot dog bun spread w/pb, almond butter or nutella and
topped with a banana
Trail mix – fiber cereal combined with nuts and raisins
Top a vanilla wafer with light cream cheese or readymade cheesecake
filling and strawberry slices
Make mini cookies or ice cream sandwiches by putting cream cheese or
ice cream between cookies from a 100 calorie snack pack
Hardboiled egg
Fruit & light cheese kabobs
Mini ice cream sandwich or skinny cow ice cream sandwich
Microwave popcorn
Cereal w/fruit
Protein bar
Cocoa Wheat cereal
Any veggies with hummus! My all time go to for a quick meal.
ReplyDeleteNot for this girl. Sorry. We just had this discussion at lunch at work today. I don't like nuts or beans, which is why I can't be a vegetarian. I'd lose too much protein because the only nuts I can eat are peanut butter - both texture and flavor bother me.
