what to snack on?

[krstinam]

I am on day 2 of induction and am doing okay but wonder what everyone snacks on? I read about cheddar cheese crisps and have made those in a batch of 5 but then am worried about eating too much cheese? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

A snack that I like to eat is cucumbers or celery with ranch dip.Make the ranch dip yourself though!I use the lays ranch dip packette and sour cream just mix and chill.I really enjoy it.There is also pork rinds if u like them.If u hear of anything else PLEASE let me know LOL!!! I kinda have the same problem as u.Running out of snack options!!

Three to four ounces of cheese is a lot. As long as you stay within the 3 to 4 ounce rule, you should be okay. I say should, because some people, me included, stall out on any amount of cheese.

Snacks:

• Chunks of meat dipped in mayo. I cut up strips of chicken, turkey or beef and keep them in a container in the fridge. I either use straight mayo or a mix of mayo and mustard to dip it in. Fast and yummy.
• Celery stalks filled with cream cheese (*counts in your cheese allowance).
• Cucumbers with cream cheese*
• Pork rinds: I like to make a dip from legal salsa (Pace) and sour cream and dip it up with pork rinds. Spread a little butter on the pork rinds, sprinkle on some Splenda and cinnamon, put in oven just until the butter melts, and it tastes like cinnamon toast
• Deli ham, mustard and sf pickle roll-ups.
• Olives
• Viggie sticks dipped in Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing

Thanks for the great suggestions. I have tried pork rinds in the past and dont particularly care for them but the splenda & cinnamon sprinkled ones sound pretty good!

Thanks again for the ideas!

I hated even the thought of eating pork rinds back when I first started. Now I have to hide the bag or I eat the whole thing!

ditto on the pork rinds. Actually i think after a while you don't want feel like snacking. Thats the hardest part when start when u r used to popcorn in front of the telly. The meat thing is a great idea thanks

I'm on day 5 and there's no way I could choke down a snack. I get horribly full for 4-5 hours after eating a meal.

I have been eating pork rinds, never thought I would ever eat them.
Question, I thought we were not allowed to have sour cream on the induction, are we? If we can that would help a lot.

On page 129 Atkins says one ounce of sour cream is allowed.

Chicken wings are good snacks. I like deviled eggs too.
