@maryroset1 I snacked on grapes, blueberries and fresh raspberries if they are cheap enough but also a plate of broccoli with lemon juice and pepper, mandarins, pineapple, asparagus, watermelon, tabouli (home made with grated cauliflower and no buck wheat), diced tomato and avocado, and home made baked sweet potato fries. Sometimes I'll have popcorn, no butter. I tend to stack on weight if I eat nuts so I avoid those. I don't eat breakfast, only coffee. If I am very hungry I will eat some kind of protein like scrambled eggs cooked in the microwave, or a slice of roast lamb even if it's at 10 in the morning rather than try and hold out for lunch. I cook my food the night before and always take my lunch to work. I didn't really like vegetables or fruit all that much before but taught myself how to eat them. Go non-processed and vegetarian for your snacks and you'll find you'll lose weight. I also started to drink a lot of herbal tea which keeps me full. If you tend to graze all day buy yourself a teapot get some nice tea from T2 and have a cup before you eat anything. I say a pot because it will help you drink more and it helps to replace one ritual (snacking) with another (tea steeping). Good luck.
