15 Low-Sugar Snacks To Help You Lose Weight

Picture a voracious beast gnashing down on anything fatty and puffy—a seal, a tourist, a doughnut—that happens to float by. That’s you, every day, around 3 PM. Your targets: sugary and calorie-loaded drinks, chips, crackers, candies, cake, and pastries. Break your sweet habit and lower sugar in your diet once and for all with the simple 3-week plan in Sugar Detox Made Easy!

But as you’re about to see, snacking doesn’t have to mean indiscriminate feeding. “Use between-meal eating to deliver nutrients you’re not getting otherwise,” says New York City-based registered dietitian Willow Jarosh. Curry Roasted Chickpeas: Heat 1 1/2 tsp olive oil in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup rinsed, drained, and dried Eden Organic No Salt Added Chickpeas (thumbs-up for their BPA-free cans).

Cook 5 to 7 minutes, flipping frequently. Toss with 1/2 tsp curry powder and a generous pinch each of cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt. Tuna & Feta Salad Mix: 3 oz canned tuna with 1/2 cup chickpeas, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, 3 Tbsp feta, 1 tsp olive oil, and 1 tsp red wine vinegar.

Chips & Guacamole: Combine 1/3 mashed avocado with 2 Tbsp chopped tomato, 1 Tbsp chopped onion, 1 tsp fresh lime juice, and a generous pinch each of garlic powder, chili powder, and sea salt. Whisk 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan, 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tsp water, 2 generous pinches of garlic powder, and a generous pinch of sea salt in small microwaveable bowl.

Microwave 10 seconds. Drizzle over popcorn. Toss well. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp finely chopped chives. Losing weight is so much easier when you break your sugar addiction. No-Bake Granola Bars: Line 8" x 8" baking pan with wax paper. Combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup Barbara’s Organic Brown Rice Crisps Cereal, 1/2 cup roughly chopped peanuts, 1/2 cup tart dried cherries, and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Melt 3 Tbsp unsalted butter with 6 Tbsp brown sugar and 3 Tbsp honey in saucepan. Stir well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes.

Stir into granola mixture. Fold in 1/2 cup organic dark chocolate chips (60% cacao). Transfer to pan. Cover with wax paper and press into pan. Chill 30 minutes. Cut into 12 bars (2" x 2 2/3"). (Makes 12 servings). Whole Grain Waffle With Lemon-Herb Ricotta: Toast 1 Kashi 7-Grain Waffle. Top with 1/4 cup part-skim ricotta mixed with 1 tsp lemon zest and 1 Tbsp chopped mixed herbs such as parsley, oregano, and tarragon.

I really like the sound of the tropical and berry recipes, so I will have to give those a try! You go Ginger. You can do this! You should also see a Naturopathic Physician who can guide you on your way through your health journey. Ginger I am wondering how you are doing so far. I am 60 and 313 lb. I started juicing. Today I weighed in at 304.6! That alone will get me thru another week!

I was hoping we could team up with each other for support. We purchased the Cuisinart CJE-1000 1000-Watt 5-Speed Juice Extractor a couple of weeks ago, and, thus far, it's been great. While it can be a little loud with things like Kale stems, it's not as loud as our food processor when it's grinding cheese. The pulp isn't dusty dry, but it's not wet or mushy--it's dryer than we expected, and we get a good amount of juice out of the things we pop in.

Thus far we've done kale, chard, parsley, spinach, apples, carrots, blue, black, rasp, and strawberries, oranges, kiwi, mango, pears, celery, and cukes. I think that's it. It's not fun to clean, but it's also not a huge chore, and many of the parts are top-shelf safe in the dishwasher. Overall, we're happy with it. Someday, we'd like to shoot for a masticating juicer, but those days are a couple years away. Just wanted to note that if you're using a cheap juicer (which wastes) you can save the vegetable pulp and make vegetable broth.

Make sure you juice any fruits with your veggies last though.. They were 60% off. I love the omega juicer - such a counter saver and easy to clean up. I am 63 and 340 pounds, I am on my way to becoming a juicer. I have a dog, Tara to live for and I don't want to die yet.

Also, I had a beautiful dog for 11 years, her name was Misha,so I was surprised when that guy Misha came on. I want to change my life NOW! And it would be great to win a juicer. Thanks for the encouragement. Brandi Bush: Amazon shipped my Breville immediately. I wanted to get the Breville Juice Fountain Plus, but at the time wasn't willing to spend the extra money so I got the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro and it works just fine.

I'm still sure the Breville would be a better decision, but for the money Hamilton is a very good juicer. I bought the Hamilton beach big mouth and I love it completely satisfied with machine and I feel it's a wonderful machine at a great. I haven't actually started juicing yet, but I plan to soon.

I would prefer Breville BJE510XL with 900watts multi-speed. Its Disc titanium-reinforced blades can hndle both hard and soft fruits. I bought the Hamilton Beach model and used it for two weeks. 50 price. It was a mess to cleanup. However, a piece melted off and since it was still under warranty they were going to send me replacement juicer.

It is more than a month later and I am still waiting for it. I have since bought and Omega and I love it! Breville BJE510XL Ikon BEST INVESTMENT EVER! I came from blending and straining just to make a juice to this! Super easy clean up too! Love the number settings as it tells you which kinds of fruits and vegetables you can juice to what number you desire.
