    2. One almond, one date: Stuff the former into the latter for satisfying sweetness and nutty crunch.

    3. Baby carrots: Eat a handful with a creamy dip (mix 1/4 cup salsa with 1/4 cup low-fat sour cream).

    6. Sweet potato: If you think of it only as a side dish, you're missing out on a great snack. Baked and cooled, it's a delicious alternative to fruit.

    7. A cup of instant bean soup: Fiber-packed and filling -- just add water!

    8. Whole grain cereal: Low-fat, low-sugar choices such as Cheerios or Wheat Chex aren't just for breakfast. Slip a 1/2 cup into a plastic bag to eat when you're on the go.

    9. Low-fat string cheese (2 oz.): The perking power of protein and the rich bite of cheese -- without all that nasty fat.

      I bake Miracle Muffins www.miraclemuffins.com into mini muffins. Then, I take 3 mini muffins in a sandwich bag to work for an afternoon snack. Three mini muffins are 87 calories, 7 grams fiber, 3 grams fat and 9 grams protein. Best of all, they are sugar free. So, I get sustained energy flow instead of a sudden burst of energy and then a slump like I used to get from the vending machine goodies.

      I like cutting up bananas, fresh strawberries, and kiwi, then mixing them together as a snack for work.

      Fruit isn't cheap anywhere these days.

      Given that I've recently been diagnosed with high potassium levels in my blood, I think I'll skip the bananas.

      I must admit, I put on a few pre and post holiday pounds. It's just a matter of simple math...eat less,drink less soft drinks and alcohol (water of course in your best bet) and in a matter of time you will be back fitting into those clothes comfortable again.I see these diets where you can have half of this and low fat this...??? I think exercises that you will comfortable with such as walks, biking or swimming can be a huge benefit to a longer healthier life. It's all about change...change for a better healthier life!:0)
