[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 657385, member: 1"] I've lost 17 lbs since January 1 by avoiding high glycemic foods, which unfortunately include most fruit, wheat products and probably many of the foods that you are craving. :( My weight loss has stalled the last few weeks but I'm sticking to this plan because it doesn't ever leave my stomach feeling empty, like I'm on a diet. Basically I try to eat a lot of fiber, lean protein, and as little sugar as possible. My go to snack lately is a couple of flax crackers with a tablespoon or 2 of this really yummy Hope brand organic hummus they sell at Costco. If you can get used to chomping on celery hummus is also a great dip to eat with celery. One or two of these flax crackers with a couple of tablespoons of that humus keeps me surprisingly satisfied between meals. [MEDIA=amazon]B000HS23TQ[/MEDIA] I've tried a couple of brands and different flavors of flax crackers and those are my current favorite. Some of the other flavors are good too. Be warned that they do get really stuck to your teeth if you don't drink a lot of water while eating them. I think that's why they fill me up so much, fiber and water. Shop around. At one time I found them on sale at a local market but the next time they didn't carry that brand any longer. There are also some really good pastas made from lentils or beans which have more fiber and less carbs than wheat pasta. They are surprisingly good hot with a sauce or served cold as a pasta salad. I've tried a few different brands of those pastas and Tolerant is a good one available here in So Cal. Those noodles can be really expensive at Whole Foods, Sprouts, or Amazon but Costco does get their red lentil rotini from time to time at a very good price. Target carries them too and sometimes they put them on sale. When I find them at a good price I stock up. Their black bean noodles are good too and make a really dramatic looking meal since the noodles are a very dark color. This kind of diet does take some getting used to if you aren't used to eating a lot of fiber rich, unprocessed foods. Just mentioning it because that is what has been working for me. Your mileage may vary. ;) [/QUOTE]
