To help control mindless snacking I either drink tea (sweetened with stevia), water, or eat as many carrots as I want. That seems to curb the need and keep me in check.

I do eat two snacks a day – one in the afternoon and popcorn and water in the evening.

I eat lots of fruit – I watch my “sugar” but don’t count the sugar from fruit. But I also am a runner and I do need a nice balance of healty carbs for my body to burn – I think of fruit as part of my healthy fuel.

I also found that eating fruit helps to curb my urges to eat junk and items with processed sugar. I do have a sweet tooth but fruit seems to take care of it.

First off, you look fabulous! Your program is working great for you. Doesn’t it feel good?
I snack a lot, but there are reasons. First, I exercise a lot and have a slightly busier metabolism. Another is that if I get hungry, life doesn’t go well and I overeat at meals. I’ve been making my own snacks of nuts and fruit or my really healthy granola bars. Other than that, I live by the motto: “If you aren’t hungry enough to eat an apple, you aren’t hungry.”
