for anyone that put grapes on their list...

Try freezing some grapes (this is especially a good snack for kids if you have kids too).  It makes for a wonderful summer snack, and because they are cold and take longer to chew up you most likely wont eat as many (I tend to get carried away with the grapes if they arent frozen).  Its also great for when you are eating them while doing work, because they take longer to get warm.

I like the Honey Maid low fat graham crackers. A serving is two full sheets for 120 calories and 2 grams of fat. However, it can be cut in half by just having one sheet which is plenty for a snack. Also, I love the chocolate fat free pudding and the jello too. I have to stay away from some things like popcorn and potato chips because right now it's hard for me to limit myself to small portions. Also, two years ago I stopped eating all meats but I was still eating junk foods which was of course a bad thing. So now, I quit the junk foods and have added fish to my diet and it's working just fine.

Snacks for me need to be healthy, low fat, and/or economical.  If I can hit two of those marks I feel pretty darn good!

1. graham crackers and low fat milk
2. dry toast and jelly---I never knew you could eat toast without butter!
3. Cheese-its, reduced fat.  Buy a box and bag up servings!  WAY cheaper.  28 crackers is only 130 calories and 4 fat grams.
4. hot cocoa, either fat free or regular (only 2-3 grams depending on brand)
5. english muffin with 1 TBL red fat Jif
6. grapefruit
7. smoothie with fruit only
8. yoplait yogurt
9. can of spinach heated up ---go ahead, say EEEWWWWW
10. applesauce, no sugar added, with a hand full of Special K flakes ontop for crunch.

  11.  And did I mention Toast?  12 grain toast with jelly, sweet, crunchy, warm....mmmmmm  I like me some toast!

Thank You for your snack list. I have a wheat - gluten intolerance and alot of snacks are off limits to me. I love yogurt also, rice snacks and fruit bars but any other suggestions would really help ?  Thanks, Orchid Lover  love the alli plan and it has helped me when all other diet plans did not help me at all !!!!

[Can you please post the receipe for the oatmeal creme brulee. It sounds delightful~~

I just started Alli a couple of days ago and so far so good, I am doing great. Not even the side effects are as bad as what I thought they would be. I bought this Microwaveable fresh popcorn maker at Walmart about a week ago and it REALLY comes in handy when you are having a craving for something salty. I don't even put butter in it! Instead I use the spray butter and cover the kernals with it before I pop them, then I also add a bit of garlic salt and onion powder. It smells SO wonderful when it is cooking and taste YUMMY!! After it's done I add two tsp. of parmesean cheese which equals to a gram and a half of fat. So delicious. It's called the Presto Pop Bowl if anybody is interested and its about $13 dollars at about any major Walmart.

 Also another favorite I found is low fat cherry yogurt with crushed graham crackers!

Love all the post and look forward to trying all these wonderful recipes!

Best wishes.

Thank you...I'm a new-be...I think my greatest challenge will be snacks, you have a great list.  Today is my first day taking alli.  Thanks again.

that is so good i also use these in salads

I made the chick peas last night and snacked on them today. They are really really good that way. But, I think I am going to either have to cook them longer or not cook them on my cooking stone. They weren't as crispy as I would have liked.

Wow, Michelle - Thanks for that... I hadn't heard of this, but I'm sure going to look for it when I go to Wal Mart next!

Thanks to all the help from this site - my choices have to be wheat/gluten free

1. Yougurt lite from yoplait especially Key Lime pie

2. Jello chocolate pudding low fat in separate containers ( I have a chocolate addiction )

3. Quacker chocolate popcorn cakes in snack size

4. Mary's Plain rice crackers and Herb with flaxseed

5. Brown rice crackers with tiny amount of lowfat peanut butter on them (addicted to peanut butter also) always tryed to keep it out of the house but other family members wanted it
