Good morning!

Alright, first things first. Stay away from those "low calorie, low fat diet snacks"! Those types of so called healthy snack foods are processed and are usually made with harmful additives to compensate for the reduction in fat and/or calories.

Stick with healthy snack foods to keep you going through the day and to prevent you from getting urges and ultimately relapsing to bad snack options.
