Olive Tapenade with Cabbage or Bell Pepper Strips rocks my life… although lately I’ve been VERY obsessed with heinz reduced sugar ketchup with cabbage! ha ha!
OMG its good that all of those sound so filling.
And a few great ways to avoid gorging-
Drink water (itll loosen appetite)
Brush Your Teeth (dont ask me…it just does)
Chewing Gum (chewing helps. period)
An apple (low cal and EXTREMELY filling)

to Jazzie:
Wow, those are great ideas, Jazzie, thank you for sharing!
I especially love the one about Brushing Teeth! I never thought of it, but it really works!!! Whenever I brush my teeth early in the evening, I just don’t feel like eating anything afterwards (so that I don’t have to brush them again :). I guess the lazy me wins over the chocolate-loving me hands down! :))
Great observation!
I can’t see how you people find these things healthy. Peanutbutter apples? why not normal apples? they taste good, for variation remove the core, put on some cinnamon and some nutrena (sugar replacer) and put that in the microwave for 4 minutes or in the oven for 10-15 (not preheated).
for the veggies and dip, just eat the veggies without the dip.
popcorn with melted butter? good idea…not just eat the popcorn as it is, maybe put some salt on it.
the answers are easy just don’t put extra’s on things that need to be slimming.
Christopher,
The “easy answers” are not necessarily the yummiest. And sometimes when you’re on a diet, it becomes necessary to variate or you’ll cave. Not syaing that you should make these your regular snacks but they’re great for cravings!
