Don't buy chips or soda crackers, and especially don't buy peanut butter you ever saw advertised on TV. Buy peanut butter made entirely from peanuts, or peanuts and salt. Snack on nuts: peanuts, soy nuts, pistachios, sunflower seeds, cashews, walnuts, pecans, etc. Good fats from nuts kill hunger without providing significant sugars, in addition to providing nutrients your body is hungry for that are missing from bag and boxed "foods". If nuts aren't enough snacking, snack on raw carrots or celery, which consume more calories to digest than the calories they provide. If you must eat crackers, buy the ones with only whole wheat, oil and salt in the ingredients list, and eat them either plain or with real peanut butter (yummy like candy if you add cinnamon and a dribble of honey) or apple butter. Popcorn works well too if you skip the addition of chemicals and fats other than olive oil. If you crave sweet, get if from fresh or frozen fruit, not a box or bag. -15% of body weight in less than 8 months by changing nothing other than what's listed on my grocery store receipts, and thus what I find on my copious trips into the kitchen. What isn't there doesn't get snacked on. :-D
