My favorite recommended office snacks are:

When I crave for REAL Chocolate, I pick one Kudos Milk Chocolate Granola Bar that has only 100 Calories and 3.5 grams of fat per one snack! I buy the large variety pack that contains 50 bars with different original flavors which last a few months and make sure its handy!!!

When I feel like something salty I grab a bunch of Special K Crackers! You need up to 17 of them in order to reach 90 calories!  They are multi-grains with fiber and dont taste like diet ones!!!  

If I more into crunchy or salty snacks then popcorn is the perfect low calories option (when you choose the right kind!)
Orville Redenbacher- Gourmet Microwavable Popcorn, the  Butter Light kind, is my favorite one since it is low calorie and low fat yet tastes very real and buttery! love it! I simply through it in the microwave for 2 minutes and I get a bag full with diet snack!!!!

OATS:
Oatmeal or oats crackers have the highest satiety ranking of any food. Unlike many other carbohydrates, oats digest slowly, so they have little impact on your blood sugar, making them the most filling choice.

EGG WHITES:
Dig in to eggs whites. They won’t harm your heart, but they can help you trim inches. A recent study from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge reported egg protein is filling, so you eat less later in the day!

ORGANIC STEAK:
The protein in beef helps you retain muscle mass during weight loss, and since regular beef has reputation, the organic choice would be healthier! The best way to eat beef while dieting is grill or broil top round or sirloin kind, sliced thinly and combined with mix of veggies.

WHOLE GRAIN:

I have recently discovered Chex Mix Chocolate Bars product while shopping for groceries. I was right near the cereal section, when could not avoid hearing a young lady taking to her friend while pointing on the shelve, saying “Those Chex Mix bars are impossible to resist…” I had to look at the nutrition facts at the back of the pack, and was absolutely amazed! These chocolate chunks, wheat pretzels and corn cereal bars contain only 140 calories, 3 grams of fat, 26 grams of carbs and more important- 8 grams of whole grains and fiber per serving! I felt like I have just found my ultimate new chocolate craving healthy weight watching solution!!! Got home, tried it and guess what- It DOES AMAZINGLY taste like REAL chocolate! and its healthy! very nice. I was extremely satisfied, considering the fact I used to be addicted to “Snickers” Chocolate Bars, which contains 280 Calories, 14 GRAMS OF FAT (yes ladies and gentlemen! 14 grams of fat in ONE (1) BAR!!!!!!  Hello!!! my `Lean Cuisine` yummy Lunch box does not contain THAT MUCH FAT!!!

`Skinny Cow` Ice-Cream Sandwich- “Diet” treat that taste like REAL treat!!!

I love Ice Cream for dessert or just as a refreshing treat whenever I am in need for something sweet. Discovering Skinny Cow Brand and especially its amazingly tasty low-calories Ice Cream Sandwich line had absolutely helped my weight watching diet routine.

`Skinny Cow `is a great line of products by Nastle, offering rich and yummy treats in low fat and no sugar added options. Most of it`s products are sweet treats you can enjoy and yet not have the guilt when done eating!

My secret to control any hunger attack AND to get my boyfriend`s attention was adding some crunchy, rice and wheat flakes with oat and blueberry clusters from “Special K”, plus bunch of fresh blueberries, if available, to the bowl of yogurt.

Kellogg’s® Special K® Blueberry cereal are lightly toasted, lightly sweetened and high in flavor. Recommended for a healthy, reduced-calorie diet and an excellent source of 11 vitamins and minerals, Kellogg’s Special K mixed with Light&Fit yogurt gives me the satisfaction I crave any time of day!

And don’t forget adding some fresh Blueberries!

Cherry Tomatoes are available year-round from California, Mexico and Florida. Filled with healthy nutrition like vitamins and minerals, Cherry Tomatoes were first called TV Tomatoes since originally developed in the aim of providing a healthy snack to be eaten while watching TV. With time, the similarity to Cherries determined its final definition as “Cherry Tomatoes”. Filled with vitamins and minerals, however more expensive compare to other types of tomatoes, though totally worthwhile for their size, taste and nutrition and the protection they provide against heart disease and strokes.

In one cup of cherry tomatoes (about 20 of them) there are only 30 calories, 0 fat and 7 grams of carbs!!! You can add them to salads, serve them with dip as an appetizer or enjoy a supper healthy smart snacking choice!

 Celery sticks dipped in light Ranch dressing:   

My secret to smart snacking is first of all having the right components available in hand. Cherry Tomatoes for example, can be a great healthy snacking choice. Low-fat granola bar is a “must have item” in my purse and I never leave the house without one or two. However, my favorite smart and healthy snacking solutions is Celery Sticks Dipped in Light Ranch Dressing. It is unbelievable how it simply cuts my hunger for up to 2 hours!!! I`m telling you, this healthy “diet saver” is the easiest to make snack, with low-calories and best craving control abilities compare to other light snacks I have tried in the past.

Celery Sticks & Light Ranch Dressing

All you have to do is to make sure you always have celery bunch available in the fridge and that AMAZING TASTE Light Ranch Dressing by Kraft, which I found to be my preferred brand since most creamy light or fat-free ranch dressings are tasteless compare to this one!

This dressing really makes a difference and helps me enjoying this healthy snack very much- I simply wash the celery, which provides an excellent source of calcium, fiber and vitamins C, B1, B2 and B6, cut it into sticks and dip it in the light dressing!  

Now, it is very much true that even though guacamole is really nutritious, it is still loaded with calories and fat, comparing to most other fruits, however, that is the healthy, mono-unsaturated fat, therefore it can contribute to the nutrient quality of your diet!

I was very much skeptic at first then was told about the program from a very close friend of mine who used to smoke a few cigarettes once in a while and couldn’t find a way to stop that bad habit! A few weeks ago, she read about Matt Godson, a clinical hypnotherapist credited who can make your cravings to not only disappear in an hour; but stay gone after that! like magic! She was amazed from how his hypnoses have unbelievably affected her so fast! Those were her exact words: “The system worked like a good cause brain-wash! I am extremely satisfied from the results and haven’t had one cigarette or a BAD CRAVING for a cigarette ever since!!!”

My situation was worst- I used to smoke a whole pack of cigarettes a day, and was desperately trying to stop this harmful, non-healthy booby-trapping! You see, it was hard for me to understand how come my brain (and my friends and family, of course) is telling me- it is no good for me! Stop smoking! You will have more wrinkles, more risky health problem, your breath is often bad and unattractive, and you are simply killing yourself slowly since very cigarette deduct 5 minuets out of your life!  HOWEVER, and despite my awareness, I just couldn’t stop!   Apparently, through Hypnotherapy, your unconscious mind disregards those old false beliefs about smoking and swaps them for beliefs and habits that are altogether far more fulfilling.

I have decided to give “Fresh Start” a try- what did I have to loose? The program offered 100% money back guarantee, so I was certain- if it doesn’t have an effect on me- I will get my money back.  And you know what happened? Guess. IT WORKED!!!  AMAZING! AMAZING and AMAZING again! Just like magic! With three-part combination therapy consisting of a booklet, audio track and breathing exercises while each element expertly designed to reinforce the others to make your cravings go away, permanently, by effecting your unconscious mind.

Check for yourself, and don’t forget- if you feel no effect- you`ll get your money back, so please- do not hesitate to give that brilliant system a try! You`ll be amazed!
