- Your free foods include all vegetables with the exception of potatoes (white and sweet), peas, corn and squash. In other words – feel free to munch on the following vegetables (in limitless quantity) – carrots, broccoli, peppers, cauliflower, cucumbers, radishes, celery, lettuce and cherry tomatoes. I find red peppers and cherry tomatoes specifically helpful when having a sweet craving. These low calorie, nutrient dense foods will not hinder your digestive capacity or ability to lose weigh in any way.
- Keep your cupboard well stocked with a variety of herbal teas (lemon, blueberry, peach, strawberry, etc.) When you feel the urge to eat, have a cup of tea instead. One of my favorite sweet teas is Bengal Spice tea by Celestial Seasning.
- Try drinking a glass of water. Often times we mistake our hunger and thirst signals.
- Fill up on 2 Dr. Joey’s Skinnychews which provide a long “mouth feel”. Dr. Joey’s Skinnychews are also filled with 2 grams of inulin fiber per chew. Inulin fiber has been shown to help with hunger, balance blood sugars and aid in digestive health. Naturally sweet and deliciously chocoaltely – you can’t go wrong. To make them last even longer, keep Dr. Joey’s Skinnychews in the freezer. For more information, please visit ww.drjoey.com
- If you know you will be working late, pack a healthy meal for dinner or…plan ahead.
- Think 80-20. Even if you stop eating by 7pm 5x per week – your body will thank you.
