For small snack, I might think I could have a wedge of tomatoe or pepper or a Dill pickle "no sugar added" for a snack. Maybe a piece of Bannana or apple.
What ya think?

There isn't anything wrong with small snacks or even eating 5 small meals a day. You just by trial and error have to find what works for you to eat a healthy amount of food and still lose weight. For me that doesnt work because if I eat that much even though they are very small meals I wont lose a lb.
I am HUGE fan of diet pepsi but I found out that it does stop some weightloss even though it says diet 0 cal ect....so now instead of a 12 pack or so a day I drink one or two cans a week. The more water you drink the better off you are.
As for bananas and apples they are very high in sugar and your better off eating cantalope and berry type fruits. That was a hard one for me becuase I would eat a small banana everyday for breakfast.
Doing things this way I found out that my body just doesn't tolerate carbs well. So I try very hard to stay away from them.
But again I will stress this is what works for ME and that doesnt mean it will for you. Just play around with different healthy foods and see what works.
You will have to eat them for a week or two to find out for sure whats working and whats not. And drop one thing and pick up something different in its place. It will take some time but with a lot of will power you can do it.
I had to figure all this out last Nov because for weeks I was stuck not losing a thing and since I found what works for me I avg 1 to 2 lbs a week which is the best way to take off the weight.
