But read the labels and choose yourself. I have found that most the low fat ones add hydrogenated oils (trans fats), sugar, salt and sometimes other stuff I don't even know what it is. The ingredients should read: Peanuts (and maybe salt if you aren't on a low sodium diet). And I pour the oil off the top, btw.Thanks for the Campbell's Soup tip, I am so going to pick some of those up! I agree about using natural peanut butter. But read the labels and choose yourself.

An apple sliced up with a little fat free vanilla or plain yogurt sprinkled with cinnamon and a few nuts (walnuts work well) thrown in is my favorite right now. I also second the 100 calorie popcorn bags! Any fruit, in general, should curb the sweet tooth, though! Larabars are fantastic, too, or Cliff ZBars. Just aim for something with a little bit of protein and fiber to stay fueled and filled! Mmm I love snacks in general!

I'm tired of finding excuses to "start" my NY resolution "next week" or "next month".My suggestion: Instead of potato chips, peanuts, or even crackers... I get a ziploc bag & fill it halfway with baby carrots or pre-cut peeled carrots. Add some lemon pepper seasoning that you can get at any grocery store in the "seasonings" aisle, shake them up, and voila! You have a healthy + tasty snack that fulfills all munchie cravings. The lemon pepper seasoning adds a little kick to the carrots, without you needing to grab any Ranch dressing. I hear ya.

Have you ever tried WASA crackers? I buy the wholegrain ones. High in fiber and very low in sugars. I like to put all natural peanut butter (smucker's) on them or hummus. Also, sliced tomatoes with mozzarella slices. Mmmmm. it’s all about crunch for me!! Have you ever tried WASA crackers? I buy the wholegrain ones. High in fiber and very low in sugars.

What I've had a lot of success with (also have the sweet tooth prob - especially when working late-night) is buying frozen organic fruits, a thing of organic french vanilla yogurt, and some organic apple juice and throwing it in the blender. A really healthy smoothie that doesn't cost $6.00. This seems like a really fun idea for motivation… love your suggestions, too.
