[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 468337, member: 6705"] I have a couple of pennies to stick in here... Susie mentioned fiber. Some people don't like whole-grain breads - I think they taste better - and (as long as you read the label!) they can be better than white bread. Also, I LOVE oatmeal, and as a snack, about 1/2 a cup of stuff like rice or wheat Chex. Triscuits (lower salt) are my friend for the afternoon. Chew more slowly. Many people shovel it in and get eating over with. Savor each bite. You'll find you eat less, because your stomach gets the message to your brain. Some studies say it takes about 20 minutes... I like to read while I eat. TV will make you eat more (not me, because I'm not a TV watcher, but...). If you have music on, make it slow... Fast music is for exercising. If you can - stay AWAY from diet drinks. It is my personal opinion (and, to my surprise, recently has been backed up by some scientific studies) that the false sweet gives your brain the [I]expectation[/I] of calories... And when they're not forthcoming, it starts demanding them. (Of course, like Susie and I and many others, fake sweetener makes us hurl... So.) When making sweet foods, you can [I]always[/I] use less sugar than the recipe calls for. When I make brownies for husband, I use 1/2 the sugar. This weekend I made apple cinnamon bread - used a regular bread recipe, halved the milk because of the apple juice... And used NO sugar. Jett, husband and I ate a full loaf over the 3 days...
