If you steer clear of that, as well as adding a good daily walk after lunch, you may be pleased with the results.Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854424239035683097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967104464423762447.post-68914078655835782532010-01-15T16:35:36.390-05:002010-01-15T16:35:36.390-05:00Oh! :-D I have lots of lots of things I make and d...Oh! :-D I have lots of lots of things I make and do and eat -- all while counting points. :-)<br /><br />I just love to eat.Holly Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389360959621223506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967104464423762447.post-78497307071402835762010-01-15T16:34:13.870-05:002010-01-15T16:34:13.870-05:00I could have written this post!

In the past when the weight crept on, I counted calories religiously. Not WW points, but actual calories and it did wonders for changing my body and my mindset when I eat. But in the last year or so I've allowed myself to get away from it for many reasons. With all my free time now, I'm refocusing on eating better and working out regularly.<br />One of my favorite low cal snacks is a plain rice cake spread with light cream cheese and sugar free strawberry jam. It sounds kind of gross, but it is absolutely DELICIOUS! I'd eat two rice cakes and it's right around 100 calories for the whole snack.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05895488792730918990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967104464423762447.post-74696660186643956992010-01-15T16:24:49.942-05:002010-01-15T16:24:49.942-05:00You said you could go on and on...like you were fu...You said you could go on and on...like you were full of knowledge!amycornwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609105946335973943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967104464423762447.post-39501467347200045602010-01-15T16:19:45.889-05:002010-01-15T16:19:45.889-05:00Literature on what?

It's just like honey, but doesn't stimulate the insulin secretion that causes a raise in your blood sugar. It's a low-glycemic sweetener. It's natural (if that's what you're looking for instead of sugar substitutes), but has about the same caloric content. So you're not saving there. <br /><br />We buy this kind at Costco for just under $8 for two 23.5 oz. bottles. <br /><br />Also - natural almond and peanut butter or more healthy choices than the jarred kind. You can get it at Whole Foods from their machine. <br /><br />I'm also addicted to Ole extreme fiber tortillas. They are huge, only 72 calories, 2 (or 2.5?) grams of fat and 12 grams of fiber! And they are so good! I use them for SO MUCH. They're only 1 pt. <br /><br />I could go on and on. Not here. :-)Holly Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389360959621223506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967104464423762447.post-15030373845273818122010-01-15T13:20:03.179-05:002010-01-15T13:20:03.179-05:00Awesome, thanks Courtney!Awesome, thanks Courtney!amycornwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609105946335973943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967104464423762447.post-56889387827272555752010-01-15T13:15:51.226-05:002010-01-15T13:15:51.226-05:00I like plain or vanilla natural yogurt (fat free o...I like plain or vanilla natural yogurt (fat free of course) with some drizzled honey and sliced almonds. You get protein from the yogurt and almonds and a bit of sweetness from the honey. It keeps me going in the afternoons when all I want to do is take a nap. <br /><br />Also, I love natural peanut butter. Look for the kind that only has peanuts and salt as the ingredients. Most peanut butters have sugar in them. I smear a TBSP of natural pb on a banana for a snack. Keeps me full and gives me energy.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466475821092843353noreply@blogger.com
