Get yourself a POLST form from your doctor with a do not resuscitate order on it and hang it on your refrigerator door. It’ll keep you out. LOL
Working is a good way to cut down. I find that when I’m idle, I think more of my stomach. However, when I’m working, and have my mind on my work, I don’t think of food.
Can't say that I have.
Who's buying all that junk? Why be a hapless victim. I suppose it's like TV -- 500 channels and nothing's on, yet people are addicted.
“And why do some people crave salty snacks, while others prefer sweet treats?”
I like both, though separated a bit in time.
Don’t put down snacks. Use them as opportunities to compliment your weight control plan. Snacking can help keep your hunger levels on an even keel, especially on days when your meals are spaced further apart. However, it’s important to make healthy snack choices.
Eating a snack is better than letting yourself become ravenously hungry. This can lead to poor food choices and excess calorie intake during your actual meals. It is also a perfect time to supply good foods like vegetables and fruits that can boost your energy levels between meals and encourage exercise or offering the energy to your job and recreation. And as long as you compensate for the calorie intakes at your next meal, it will have no effect on your intake needs.
An example is a daily diabetic diet. Many healthcare providers believe that the best approach for people with type 2 diabetes is to eat more, smaller meals at regular intervals throughout the day. Typically experts recommend eating six times a day. So in that case, there are as many snacks as actual meal breaks. But, again, eating right is the magic and filling the intake with the right foods is most important. Walk past the donuts, and candy dish. Don’t waste the carbs.

Depends on your snack....A banana...hard boiled egg...bowl of cereal...
I snack throughout the day on low-carb food and only if I feel that my tank is running low between scheduled meals. I’ve been eating this way for almost 20 years. I think snacking is only problematic in excess and it also depends on what type of snacks. Pringles or ice cream vs. beef jerky or a small salad with protein... big differences.
According to the latest research, the best way to lose weight is to eat less food less often. They call it “Intermittent fasting”.
Snacking is one if the dwindling few enjoyable things about life.
Shop on a full stomach. Don't buy snacks. When you want something like that at home, they are not available.
