rabbipete : A lot of my eating is from habit rather than from hunger. In the past I have eaten sweets, crisps, anything at such times. More recently, to avoid carbs, I have eaten nuts - but these are very fatty. What are good snack foods out of the following? carrots, celery, radishes, tomatoes, cucumber, tehina, salsa, guacamole? Should any be avoided? Any at all allowed on PP days? Thanks for your support.
Moderatrice Pierre : Dear Rabbi, what you tell me is frequently coming back in messages we receive everyday. Snacks and cravings on sweet and fat food is a very bad habit. For the first items you are talking about as carrots celery radishes and tomatoes and cucumber, it's really fine. The problem is with the three last ones including nuts this is not possible; If during the day you need something to eat you can use low fat dairy products, crab sticks, dryed meat as bresaola, and something really interesting soya bean chunks which is nuggets prepared with textured soya proteins. Instead of preparing it as a vegetarian meal you can eat them raw but dried, it's really crunchy and taste as a peanut.
Try to find them to eat them and come back to me to tell me if you like them as I love them. Have a nice day.
