Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I need some help especially from the older people...I have been a vegetarian for about 3 and a half years now but it feels like the older I get, the hungrier and the more and more I want to snack!!! Any tips on how to get rid of all the munchies? I do eat meals I'm just always snacking on stuff...especially cereal and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Find healthier snacks! :-) Like fruit, baby carrots, etc. Also, eat something with protein every few hours if you're not currently doing that. It will help sustain you. A bit of tofu, some nuts, etc. Or you could pick up some pre-packaged 100 calories or less snack paks (but fresh is always better for you than processed food!)

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Yea, cereal can be pretty tasty. What types of cereal are you eating? There are ones that are better than others; ones that have a lot of fiber and/or protein. I eat Vanilla Nut Rainforest Crunch by Peace Cereal usually. It's got oats and flakes and nuts and is slightly sweet due to the vanilla. I normally only have cereal once or twice a week at the most. But it sure is tasty, you're right about that! :-) Yes, please do keep us updated on your process. Did you join this group looking to lose weight or just eat better?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 If it's the dry crunch you like (<raising hand>), then you can combine the cereal craving with the protein recommendation by switching to soy nuts: http://snipurl.com/1ogqk (Amazon link) Or you could try a higher protein cereal such as Kashi's Go Lean Crunch: http://snipurl.com/1ogr7 (Amazon link) I used to really like that one, but since going gluten free, I no longer buy it. (FYI to the vegans: it also contains honey.)

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Oh I love soy nut but they are kind of fattening... Erin <truepatriot Wednesday, July 18, 2007 8:50:32 AM Re: I'm hungry!!!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I have 2 favorite brands of cereal which are Honey Bunches of Oats and Kashi Strawberry Fields which are both healthy, just addicting. haha. Oh I have cereal every day for breakfast and sometimes for dinner or lunch too. I joined this group because it seemed like a great group. I didn't join to lose weight because I am very happy with my weight, but I would love to eat a little healthier. La La Cindi <cindi93069 Wednesday, July 18, 2007 8:00:12 AM Re: Re: I'm hungry!!!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Well we are a great group! :-) My partner likes that Strawberry Fields cereal a lot too. Eating healthier is a great reason to have joined.

Simple You just go to our group Home Page (which is where you would have joined the group) and look to the left-hand menu. The _third_ cagegory down is FILES - so click in there. You will see that RECIPES is the first folder at the top of the list, but there are other folders too which might interest you. That menu also gives you Photos, Links and Polls. Have a look around and enjoy! Love, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
