So, this is a post from my other blog, "Or so she says...". I'm sure some of you have already seen it. But, some people have been asking me for snack ideas, so I thought it would be easier just to repost this. There really isn't any reason you should be starving throughout the week. There are plenty of things you can eat that are healthy!
Here's the post:

Enter living la vida low carb-ISH.

Anyway, thought I would share the love with you and start with snacks. Because aren't snacks the biggest buggers??
Net carbs are what matter. Look at any nutrition label. Take the carbs and minus any fiber from that. The answer is the net carbs (what matters when counting carbs). Fiber is good! Try to find products with lots of fiber.


Cheese, ladies. ZERO carbs. I love these Tillamook snack size ones!

More cheese! If you like cheese, buy lots of different kinds and flavors. ZERO carbs.


Nuts are how I get my "salty" fix. Well, there is something else too...

Pork rinds. All right, all together now..."ewww!" Well, if they're good enough for Ricky Bobby, they're good enough for me. Mind you, I was raised by a mostly reformed southern red-neck so you have to expect some things to rub off! These babies are what?? Zero carbs. They replace chips and I like 'em, so get over it!...though, not necessarily low-carb I also advocate Pirate's Booty and Veggie Crisps.

Back to nuts and "salty" fixes. Sunflower seeds are so yummers. I like to buy snack size ziploc bags and pour some in and mix in some craisins. I keep the bags in my purse in the car and in the pantry. Easy, quick, yummy grab.

Craisins (see above "Sunflower Seeds"). Mix them together...keep in snack size ziploc bags. These aren't low in carbs and have added sugar. But just add small handfuls to your nuts to jazz them up.


Again, yogurt is not really a low-carb food. But, remember the fiber lowers the carb count.This Fiber One yogurt is fairly low in carbs. And, yogurt is really good for you! It has lots of the good bacteria that your body needs to stay healthy! I love Fiber One's lime yogurt to dip my apples in!


Baby carrots and ranch dressing. Oh, baby. Remember with low-carbing you DO NOT want "low fat" or "light"...that equals higher carbohydrates. Bad. But, good! Yay! Light and low fat sucks.

I don't know why this is the only picture of "Wild Coyote" ranch on the internet. But, this is thebest ranch! It's a little more pricey, but worth it. It's in a glass bottle in the produce section.

Beef jerky, zero carbs.

Peanut butter on celery. Low carb.

I think that pretty much sums up my kitchen, as far as snacks go. Stay tuned, next we'll do Drinks & Treats!

Okay, that helps tons. Back to the grocery store for me.
I do remember this post on the other blog, but for some reason I have to have things plastered in my face to remember. Can I blame it on the two sweet girls in my house?
