what do you snack on???

Re: what do you snack on???

Actually, Dr A encourages snacking but only when hungry or after six hours from your last meal. Maybe I missed something, but I don't remember ever reading anywhere, that he condones snacking just for the sake of it.
Megs, imho, was not being judgemental at all. She was just giving advice. Very good advice too.

Let's all try to focus on trying to break fattening habits rather than getting huffed up here.

Not huffed up here at all. I was just stating that in the book under the pages listed above, in the week long example menu, Dr A allowed a snack every single day. He didn't state "now your really shouldn't but if you must". So there is absolutely NO harm in a girl wanting a dang snack. I have snacked my entire time on Atkins and intend on doing so. If others can't lose weight while snacking, fine. But it is working for me.
I eat 3 small meals and 3 small snacks. I think it keeps my metabolism going or something. And once I added in the nuts and strawberries as my snack at night I have lost a great deal more.
I do wish you all the best whether you snack or not. But if you want a good snack, the low carb yogurts from Kroger are wonderful!

Re: what do you snack on???

ok as the original poster I will say.. I did not ask for advice on how to break habbits nor to be called fat which is the word that was used... I have went from a size 28 to a 14 so I don´t think I need advice on how to loose weight and if and when I want that I will ask.. this post was what is a legal snack... soooooo as I said if you don´t have anything nice to say.. than don´t.. Calling people FAT doesn´t help anyone

KUDOS MeliMeli! You are doing great. I hope you got some good ideas between all the bickering.

Another thing I love is Flax Meal made like Cream of Wheat.
And a muffin in a minute with cream cheese and SF Strawberry preserves. YUM

Re: what do you snack on???

I concur with Megs' original post. If you're hungry, it's a good idea to have a meal or even a snack. If you're not, it is probably best to find another way to occupy yourself and hold off until you are. It's a judgment call.

It amazes me that giving you the advice that you only eat when you are hungry or eat if you've gone more than 6 waking hours without eating and to break any bad eating habits you have formed through time has been interpreted as not having "anything nice to say".........

... lets drop it?

We can keep posting what we eat as SNACKS though... you know, in-between meals when we're hungry but not ready to cook lunch/dinner/etc. As Dr. Atkins ALLOWS...

Celery sticks! I tried them with cream cheese and I think I like them better plain.

-Sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds (you dont have to be hungry to eat them. So I see where the original poster is coming from 100%)
-Olives. Theyre sweet and fun to eat (lol yes I still stick them on my fingers)
-Celery with ranch or bleu cheese.
-Fresh green beans covered in parm cheese, baked.
-Pork rhinds dipped in sour cream..

Theres a bunch. Also, I dont think she would have taken the comment personally if it didnt say the "thats what got you fat in the first place". Saying something like " over snacking adds to the reasoning for weight issues", would have been a little nicer put. Noone likes the word "fat". We call ourselves that everyday and it sucks to be reminded by others. Even though Im sure the comment wasnt mean to offend, she DID have a smiley face . Come on, forgive and love one another. We need more of it in this world.

Take care

Have you tried the cream cheese cloud recipe? I LOVE those guys. I make them with mint extract, or any flavor of SF jello! One cool cheese cloud can really hit the spot! I think I'll have one for dessert!

Re: what do you snack on???

I would say it was the fat comment that did it

Re: what do you snack on???

Anyway...

I have been wanting to try those clouds. I thought they would taste too much like just putting splenda in some cream cheese? Is it different?

Peanuts.
Pistachios.

And rarely a Sugar-Free Hersheys Dark

The last one has absolutly nothing to do with anything, other than I am a recovering chocolate junkie
