Secrets

…Diet secrets, that is. When a group in my office decided to do a weight loss pool, I offered one of my friends a list of snacks I eat when I need to fill me up….they were dreading their new “diets” and didn’t know where to start. I’m sure you’ve seen them all on various lists all over the internet, but I found it in my e-mail box today and thought I’d offer up my “secrets” to reaching my WW goal. (I’m copying verbatim, so apologies for WW lecturing)
Low fat mozzarella string cheese
Klondike Slim-A-Bear Fudgesicles (they are 1 point, but you can only have 1 and you have to be able to handle sugar alcohols)
Baby carrots
Snap peas with 1 wedge of Laughing cow cheese
100 calorie pack of 94% fat free popcorn
5 cups of air-popped popcorn with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spray
100 calorie Pria bars (mint, peanut butter crisp, French vanilla)
Deep chocolate Vitamuffin top (I buy these in bulk from www.vitalicious.com– I am addicted and they are SO good for you and sinful when nuked for 15 seconds)
Thomas’ Light English Muffin with 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
Berries— all berries are good! Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blueberries
1 Small apple
Dannon Lite n’ Fit Yogurt with 1/2 cup of Kellogg’s All Bran
15 Wisecrackers from Trader Joe’s with hummus spread
Veggie burgers— these are a great snack– and some brands taste pretty good, too!
Weight Watchers snacks…they make pretzels, bars, shakes, and little cakes that you can bring as a snack
