*~Healthy Snacks~*

[SweetBrenda]

I am one of them

people whos always on a "diet" if I don't watch what I eat very easy I can gain weight.. Very frustaring. There for

I have tried so many diets but yet Atkins is the "only" one that worked for me. It's amazing how much you learn not

to eat once you know how many carbs you are consumming a day if you aren't careful. I didn't care before about

carbs but just calories so here I thought by just eating *1 banana and an apple some grapes or an orange* I was

doing great! not knowing that bananas and apples are high in carbs! *yikes* I did very good in keeping my carns

under 20 a day for a while but I had to cheat from time to time because the way I see things is,,, you gotta taste a

little of the good stuff too ! and then get back in track! I would be a liar if I say I never cheat! you would not

believe how good a regular chocolate bar tastes after 3 weeks of just eating the low carb chocolates! wowwwwwwww!

mmmm mmmm I have some snacks I make at home to take with me for work so I won't be so tempted to eat a bag of chips

or a bag of cookies specially having the candy machine right next door to the office *ugh* ...Usually I make celeray

sticks smired with peanut-butter or minnie turkey roll ups filled with cream chesse.. I'm wondering what are some

of your favorite healthy snacks so maybe we can learn something new and good we might want to try out! doesn't

matter if is not Atkins ...
Thank you for reading

My favorite healthy

snack is a navel orange. Looks kinda like this -->:)<-- only more orangy. Guess that doesn't help you any.

Get yourself a juicer and use it.

Keep tons of fresh fruit and veggies in your fridge and make yourself tall, fresh glasses of juice. You can make

some delicious combinations. They make look ugly but they taste great. Pineapple/broccoli is great.

Apple/carrot/kale is a favorite. Try it. These drinks will fill you up. They taste delicious and are obviously very

good for you. You may have it in your head to avoid juices because you are thinking about store bought stuff. This

is nothing like that.

I know this is far from juicing but if I really feel like I want to cheat but don't

want to go off the Atkins and just want to munch, I like porkrines. They have different flavored porkrines too.:p

Blech :eek: :D
I remember reading

about how you can use crushed up porkrinds to bread meats and then fry them. You can make fried chicken using

porkrinds in place of the bread crumbs.......I felt queasy just typing that lol

[Elana]

Since we are talking about Atkins,

another thing you can do is buy the bricks of the extra firm tofu and slice them up and make mock macaroni and

cheese. You can slice the tofu into thin slices and use the tofu in place of lasagna noodles. Tofu has no taste so

you will only taste the other stuff, but the consistency is a bit messy.

Pomegranate. Nature’s highest

concentration of antioxidants and it’s fun to eat. (Makes your lips pucker real nice too.)

[deb]

Pomegranate. Nature’s

highest concentration of antioxidants and it’s fun to eat. (Makes your lips pucker real nice too.) Nope not

for me, too much pucker, and are you sure it is nature's highest antioxident?:confused:

[a.k.a.]

are you sure it is

nature's highest antioxident?:confused:
Nothing's for sure but...



"Pomegranates are proving to be the most powerful

antioxidant available, better than red wine, tomatoes, vitamin E and a variety of other headline makers," says

Prof. Michael Aviram of the Lipid Research Laboratory at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, who led the

team. Prof. Aviram, who was the first to prove the beneficial effects of red wine on cholesterol oxidation in

humans, is an internationally recognized authority on the effect of food on heart disease.

Some one at work told me to

buy almond/butter-spread to use instead of peanut-butter! so I got me some today and made myself a almond-butter &

jelly sandwich on a 7 grain low carb bread mmmm mmmm that was so yummy! so for tomorrow some bananas

w/almond/butter-spread will be for snacks.. I'm sure they will be pretty good too. I love peanut butter & jelly but

this was a different taste!

[Pancho1188]

For the record, the only reason that I put that was because whenever I just respond with a

":)", it says, "Post is too short. Must be 10 characters."

I'm sure there's a good reason for this, so I just

wrote a sentence backwards for fun. I didn't know I'd get flack for it.

From now on, I'll just post

"....................." when I need 10 characters, okay? :rolleyes:

[SweetBrenda]

wish it didn't take me as long as it did to catch on. So keep it up!! Good work my man!

[SweetBrenda]

Does anyone know why

brown-rice is supposed to be more healthy then white-rice?

[hotrocks5]

Probably more nutrients or

fiber. I think my grandparents eat it instead of white rice. They also drink some wheatgrass juice everyday. I

know it's all supposed to be healthy, but personally, I can't stand it!

[DrSmellThis]

What hotrocks says, plus the

carbs are somewhat more complex in brown rice.

[einstein]

Yoplait has introduced a

low-carb yogurt. Sweetened with sucralose (Splenda) has 8g carbs, 8g protein, and is tasty. Also provides 20% of

daily calcium, and I think some study found that more calcium helps to lose weight.

I get the ice cream but it's a bit expensive at High Helth. I love yogurt so this is a must!. Thanks!

I haven't read through all

the replies yet but my favorite healthy snacks are a protein bar and a smoothie from jamba juice after lifting

weights at the gym.

Nice ol' fruit

salad.

Pineapple, Mango, Watermelon, and grapes. A bit of shredded coconut on the mix, and any of your

favorite yogurt on the fruit salad.

May sound like it tastes bad, but it doesn't at all! It's amazingly

good.

Carbs aren't the problem and

aren't your enemy just remember that, don't follow trends follow a solid calorically defecit diet with good carbs

as you would do with getting the good fats.
