After reading all these recipes I am starving and believe me I am going to give a few of these a try especially the cheese chips they sound deliciousssss.

Just another idea....instead of breadcrumbs I use parmesan cheese....

Here are my snack ideas
- vienna sausages and potted meat (I found some with no carbs or sugar) - bacon - cheese - bacon and mayo wrapped in ham - natural peanut butter - cucumber

After the first week I didn't find like I wanted to snack much. A lot of the time if I snack I use small portions of dinner, breakfast, or lunch food.

Another easy snack is homemade beef jerky.

If you have a food dehydrator it only takes about 6 hours of drying, get the butcher to slice the beef specifically for jerky and Voila, a great snack, that way you control what is put on it.

I can post a recipe if anyone is interested, I will have to dig it out....

Oh my goodness, I cannot wait to try the breakfast meatballs. YUMMY!! They will be perfect at work after the gym!!

And they would be great with Au Jus gravy or sweet and sour (sugar free grape jelly and sugar free carb free ketchup)

As for the cheese sticks, I wrap my cheese in a lettuce leaf, and use an egg batter then dip into grated parm cheese. I usually use grated parm and romano as a filler if I'm not feeling the pork rind love.

The snack I'm about to mash up for myself as soon as I log off is an avocado!

Mash 1 avocado, sprinkle in either lemon juice or lime juice ... add salt if you want.

yum yum!
(legal for those who can subtract their fiber carbs)

Thanks for all the great snack ideas! I just started LC'n and so far I have had no problems but a friend that is doing it with me is struggling. She was a BIG bread eater before and has done great without eating all that bread! so even tho she has "cheated" on other things i guess ditchin the grains was a huge step.

personally I am not much of a bread person so that part has been easy for me! lol

Hi quilt4me. Your name caught my eye. I'm a quilter (instuctor), and a new member as well. I checked out your profile, we are about the same age and height.

Well, Hello!
These are all just fantastic ideas!

I'm starting my 5th week on induction, and I love it! I tried melted chedder on pork rinds the other day.

Oh, and to not feel guilty about those greasy fingers

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful snack ideas. I love this forum!

I use to eat Salami with Strawberry Cream Cheese or Pineapple (any of the fruit and flavored cream cheeses). These cream cheese are high in carbs

I was really wanting some of this, when I decided to make some that were legal....

I used a pkg of Splendra added to a few tablespoons of Cream Cheese, then put some of the cream cheese mix in the salami, rolled them up and - TaDa a legal wonderful snack.

This might be a good snack for the SuperBowl coming up this weekend !

Saw this in another thread. Easy and quick to fix:

Spread out about 10 - 15 pieces of pepperoni on a stack of paper towels and nuke them in the microwave for about 40 seconds.

(If you like, put some mozzarella cheese on them before heating.)

Yum! But eat them right away--they don't taste nearly as good after about 20 minutes!

JANE - I was reading your post and you indicated that you have just started your 5th week on induction... you've lost 5 lbs? I started Jan 2nd (3 weeks) and have only lost ~ 8 pounds... and I am starting to get discouraged.

Seems like most people drop almost 10 pounds the first two weeks... I feel like I am a slow loser. Just wondering if by chance you are having a similar problem? I use the Sticks and they are either pink or purple, so I know I am doing something right... just feel like it is SLOW.

YOU ARE RIGHT !

Thanks... sometimes I just need it pounded into me.... as long as the numbers are going down... that's what matters... and of course that I am feeling better than I have ever felt (more energy, not tired, sleeping good). I didn't get this way over night... so I guess I won't get skinny over night either. I am going to stop stepping on those scales morning, noon and night!

Thanks again!

Try String Cheese, Ripums Cheese, Cream Cheese or Peanut Butter on Celery.
Good Luck
