[QUOTE="CathyN, post: 1045515, member: 45197"] Hi So, as you are realising - your snacking has got to be reassessed!!!! Crisps are not great - well, they're great - but not good! the dark chocolate is better than milk or white chocolate, but I would only have a square of it occasionally. And for me, mints are not OK - the sugar content is huge. You could look for reduced sugar mints but I'm not sure if they are any better. So, my snacks are: natural and uncoated nuts like almonds, Brazils - the occasional peanut. A noggin of cheese. A slice of ham. A spoonful of yogurt. An oatcake. A bite of a natural fruit bar by a company call Naked. They do a banana bar which is not OK all at once, but bite size bits now and again OK. I hope this isn't filling you with dread. Before diagnosis, I would snack on crips, pretzels, bread and butter. Bread and butter being my favourite snack. I still want to eat these things, but I know that they are not ok for my blood sugar. The other radical thing you could do - and of course, it would increase your weight loss, is to cut out snacks all together. Go cold turkey and then introduce a different type of snacking in to your life. I'm sure other people will suggest more! Good luck and keep that pre- diabetes status as long as you can with awareness and lifestyle change! [/QUOTE]
