[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar II, post: 114199, member: 4391"] Popcorn (the kind you pop at home ~ not the microwave kind) is great for dealing with the munchies. You can learn to enjoy it without butter and even, without salt. The munchies do me in every time! [img]:smile:[/img] Low fat items may actually contribute to weight gain, as it is the fat in foods that lets us know we are full. Low fat, high sugar items are not good things to eat. Without the fat to tell us when we have had enough, we eat more than we should. We ingest more sugar than we would if we were eating a high fat item. The influx of sugar requires our bodies to produce more insulin to deal with it. After the sugar has been dealt with, the insulin which is still circulating tells us we are hungry, and we eat more. When this happens? We will especially crave sugary foods, and the cycle begins again. If you are able to avoid sugary things for a week to ten days, the craving for them will pass. If you use sugary foods again once the craving has passed? You will be amazed at the way your body responds, with all the cravings right back in place again. It makes sense when you think about it, though. Barbara [/QUOTE]
