Snacking

How do I stop snacking!!!!

This is a really bad habit, I eat so many times in a day that my calories add up like a person w/o surgery!!

I've been stalled at 74.5 kgs for about 2 months now and I really want to get to my 70-65 goal weight.

P.S I'm on a low carb diet, ( keto) and I still snack a lot on nuts, turkey wraps, cheese slices, Atkin bars.

Although it's low carb it adds up calorie wise.

are you eating Protein foods and drinking enough?

carbs tend to make you want more carbs. if that is an issue you will just have to walk away from them.

Sorry forgot to specify what kind of snacking, but I'm on Keto ( lchf) and I still snack a lot even tho it's low carb they all add up

I am in the beginning stages and starting to eat low carb before surgery. I bought string cheese and almonds as Snacks and brought some to work yesterday. I realized I was just eating them without even realizing. They were there - so I ate them. Today - I left them at home. Although healthier - they still have calories and fat. I tracked everything and realized I had just about all my calories by 4pm. Try going back to basics. Avoid having these types of snacks around. Good luck!

Atkins bars are 220 calories and 10 gms fat. Also contains sugar alcohols which effect blood sugars.

I snack all the time. I snack on healthy things that are low calorie

I snack. I just make sure I record everything and plan for Snacks. Without snacks I'd never be able to reach my Protein target.

Well at least you recognize the problem, which is good. If you are like me I'd say don't have any nuts in the house. Yes, they have Protein and are a good source of healthy fats, but, they taste great and are very calorie-dense, so it's very easy to overdo them. Throw them out and don't buy more.

Lowfat cheese and turkey wraps are certainly better, and you need to use Protein Bars, but sure you can overdo those too. At minimum, I'd say keep a food diary where each day you write every single item down that you eat, along with its calories, as you eat it - that will make you more aware of what you are eating.

The last thing I can suggest is to keep some low calorie Snacks, like sugar-free Jello, fresh baby carrots, and fresh fruit in the fridge. Those will give you a lighter alternative if you want something to chew on.
