curb the crunchy snack attacks

If you're needing something to curb hunger or even that crunchy snack attack this simple recipe is a great solution. 

From the very beginning of my weight loss journey, I relied on pickles to fill me up and give me something to chew. I love pickles—dills and koshers.

You will want to make sure that your selection has no sugar added, you can make your own sweet pickles by adding Stevia liquid drops to dills or koshers. About 20 drops per (small) jar. Although pickles are a good health snack, you might want to limit the amount you eat—pickles contain a lot of sodium and too much sodium may cause water retention. 

Another snack that seems to satisfy the need to "crunch and munch" is tomatoes and cucumbers. I like to cut them up with a little salt, pepper, and vinegar. You can add a little Stevia, as well. Feel free to add onions or basil. Serve on a couple of melba toast for even more crunchy, munchy satisfaction.

Yes, you can. You have many more miles to go!
