Also seriously, I recently discovered apple chips to satisfy the crunchy-munchies. With or without cinnamon.
http://www.senecafoods.com/ourbrands/snackchips_applechips.shtmlI started out where I work at 182 lb, already overweight, and I hit 205 recently.
At home, weekends and holidays, I can go until 1 or 2 PM without getting hungry.
At work, damned if by 8:30, 9:00 AM, I'm ravenous.
These apple chips seem to do the trick, and I got below 200 lb last week. Nice and crunchy, like potato chips, but they stop me from going out and getting a five-thousand Calorie sausage-and-egg-on-a-muffin every morning. I may go buy a case of them from my local bodega.
I sometimes wonder if the crunchy-crushy noise in your jaws and ears isn't hunger-killing all by itself.
Maybe I can develop a battery-operated "Crunch-Noise-Making" device that you clamp your teeth onto and it reproduces that oh-so-satisfying crunchy-chewy noise and transmits it throughout your head-bones..
Eh? You heard it here first!
Of course, I'd have to put a warning label on it saying, "Caution! You may starve to death using this device."
