Have you tried peanuts? yogurt mixed with one of the syrups? other veggies? jell-o; lean deli meat with veggies rolled up in it or with laughing cow cheese? 1/4 cup F/F/ refried beans sprinkled with light shredded cheese and salsa? I hope this helps...

I like to do the pickle/cream cheese/ ham rollups.

Last night I made some Ricotta Cheesecakes in tin foil muffin wrappers. My 2 year old even ate one because it looked like a cupcake.

Here is the recipe I found on the Prevention Website. I made them with sugar-free chocolate syrup.

Baked Ricotta Cheesecake - to 1/2-2/3 cup of your favorite ricotta dessert flavor, add 1 egg, beat well, pour into a sprayed custard cup, bake at 325 until done (about 15-20 minutes)

My all-time favorite snack is hummus with red pepper strips. Also, leftover homemade soups make a great, satisfying snack.

The snack that gets me through Phase 1 is roasted chick peas. I add different flavorings to keep up the variety, and I eat them slowly, because they're high in fiber and fill you up with less than you think you need.

Drain a can of chick peas and rinse them a couple of times to get the 'bean juice' off. Let excess water drain off. Dump onto a sprayed baking pan and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cajun spices, etc. -- whatever flavor sounds good. Bake at 350 for an hour, or until they are brown and rattle on the pan. I take mine out about halfway through and shake them up so that they dry all the way around, not just on one side.

These are a lifesaver for me, because they're crunchy and salty, and perfect for an occasional handful to munch.

I love string cheese, and the lunch meat rollups with alloutte spreadable cheese... The chive flavor is the best.

Nuts are good too, I love walnuts.

I am so with you on the leftover soups! My fave is Chicken Tortilla Soup (minus the tortillas, of course) with a little LF monterrey jack on top! Turkey Chili is also satisfying.

I have just started back on SBD, I was on it about two years ago and lost 23 pounds in about 3 months. But I had just had a knee replacement and it failed and I couldn't exercise so I gained it all back in a year. Now I am 7 months past my knee revision and am still having problems. I hope this time I can stick with it. I have to lose at least 50 pounds. I would like some good ideas for snacks too. The last time I was on the diet I ate roll ups with turkey slices and lots of celery sticks. I am going have to find some simple exercises to do that won't put any strain on my knee. Can anyone come up with some ideas. Thanks, joyce
