Best Non Fattening Food

[Tesl]

Recently I've been out drinking with friends a lot, to the point that I've noticeably put on quite a bit of weight. Trouble is its all going straight to my belly, and I hate it!!

So for a while now I'm gonna stop drinking alcohol, and drink less coke and milk. Sticking to water should help

What I'm finding though is that when I'm hungry, there aren't many good not fattening snacky foods I eat. But then, I don't really know myself what is healthy and what isn't!

Essentially, I'm looking for some food that lasts a while (ie longer than fruit) that I can buy tons and tons of, and snack on it when I'm browsing the web and such without having to worry about becoming a fat bastard.

Does such a food exist?

Fruit lots n lots of fruit and celery - 0 calories in celery other than that just eat little and often instead of having 3 big meals in a day.

natural cereal bars
fruit
rice!
air

yogurt maybe?

[MaKo]

unsalted nuts and seeds and dried fruit for snacks. Chicken and vegetables for meals

i eat cereal alot, maybe u should try that ^^

i dunno if its healthy or not i just like the taste of it

dried strawberrys with those bran flake things... its nice!! and milk, i love milk soooo much especially warm milk cos it makes all the flakes softer and also its all warm in my tummy ^^

eating fat free or reduced fat is good but after loosing the beer belly you'll need to exercise to turn the sag back to a 6 pack

Sugar free boiled sweets keep your gob occupied and take away the crave for a while.

i get tins of fruit (fruit cocktail/pear and peach slices/pineapple chunks etc..) 20p each so not really expensive, i usually get about 10-20 a week and eat them at my leisure. just open the tin and eat straight out of it with a spoon. so then you can just throw the tin away after use, no mess and fuss.

also get a tin of evaporated milk and when you open a tin of fruit drink a bit of the juice out of it and put a size able amount of the milk in, mixes lovely with the juice and tastes awesome.

You're looking for something with few calories in it. Fruit is ok, but it's full of sugar. Nuts are loaded with calories, from fat as well. Cereals etc, full of carbs.

All I can suggest is vegetables or beef jerky.

well, i dont know what you look like Tesl, but i wanna say; dont worry how other people see you, tesl, just as long as YOU are happy, thats what counts ^_^

i realised this too, i just wanted to look good to please others... but i realise, the only person i need to please is myself. i wanted to lose abit of weight so that i am happy! not because other people will think "oh, she looks thin like a little kitten, thats nice" ^^

after all, you have quite a nice personality. you are knowledgable and nice, but also a confident attitude at the same time ^^ although, sorry to be honest, but you come accross a bit "big headed" sometimes but, its all good, your still cool ^_^ anyway, all im saying is, dont try to change how you are to impress other people, just do what you feel like!

Spoken like a true fatty.
