How do you handle the munchies?

May 9, 2007

We're looking for a crunchy munchies solutions - low fat, no potato, no

sugar, log gi, vegan and preferably no wheat. We already eat a lot of

fruit, and it's not covering the 'munchies', and dried fruits are spiking my

husband's blood sugar too much. We've tried the veggie thing, but that's

growing a little old, especially since so much of our diet involves salads

and vegetables. Cold cereal has been a treat the last couple of nights, but

it's hampering weight loss efforts. Help?

You could try roasting up some garbanzo beans. Mmmmm...

My favorite pre-made crunchy snackable is soy nuts:

there are veggie chips out there. i've seen them in regular grocery stores.

maybe granola? it's quite easy to make yourself so you know exactly what's in

it. (big on grain, low on added fat...)

I've resorted to eating a few plain almonds w/ flavored water and found

that it curbs my appetite during snack time or when I can't get to a

meal in time. I carry a small snack bag in my purse, have one in the

car, and one in my gym bag. I limit myself to no more than 15 in a day

so I span them out and eat only 5 each time I need to. I've had weight

loss results w/ this method along w/ my workouts.

Good luck and I'll see what other ideas everyone else has. ~V~

Handful of granola, frozen grapes, or some baked potato chips usually

does it for me.

I mostly get the munchies when I'm away from home so I always carry a

small packet of oatcakes in an airtight container - vegan, generally

wheat-free, low fat, low sugar, not sure if they are low GI. They are

great for days when I can't manage to fit in time for lunch - a banana

and a couple of oatcakes will keep me going for hours.

Are they available in the States?
