- I found a great recipe for Five-Spice Pecans at Epicurious.com (posted in SELF magazine Dec. 2011) and after substituting the brown sugar for Splenda's Brown Sugar Blend, you end up with 1.5 net carbs per 1/4 cup serving.

LC crispy dippers
- I love Mama Lupe`s tortillas, and make chips. Cut into several slices w/pizza cutter, spray one side w/olive oil and sprinkle w/sea salt. Bake in 350* oven for about 20 min till crispy. No need to flip over or grease pan. Buy @ Netrition website /3 net carbs each, and 10 per package. Netrition Rocks!

low-Carb Snacks
- I have had to really watch my snacks. I tend to lean towards cream cheese more than other cheeses(worse yet heavy cream which has double the carbs of cream cheese!). I am conservative with heavy cream. Cheese is a creeper of calories, that can sabotage Low carb (dr eades in Protein Power warned about That, he also warned about portion control with nuts!) . Further processed foods are also ones to watch as they are salty, so make us retain sodium, and also can make me hungrier. I find that if I have my main meals with 60% "healthy" fats , I crave snacking way way less. Sometimes, all I need is a glass of water or a cup of tea. I still prefer a low carb cookie with healthy sugar more than a salt laden food. Celery can be very salty also. got to watch for condiments in snacks.

GUILT Free Ice Cream Substitute
- Spray a 4oz container with Fat Free Reddi Wip about half full. Add a few berries and then spray it full, heaping...Into freezer...You'll be amazed at the taste. Cal 5~Carbs 1 Sugars -1 If you use the regular or extra creamy Reddi Wip, it's still VERY low in Cal~Carbs~Sugar. They also have Chocolate...I appreciate all the great suggestions here!

Helps me, just starting back
- I mix cream cheese with a little garlic powder or real garlic and spread on ham luncheon meat, roll up and put in freezer just until firm. Cut in slices, looks like a pinwheel and they are delicious. Serve them at all parties and there are never any left. Really, really good.

Cheese Roll-Up
- I like to take a cheese stick and roll it up inside a slice of deli ham or turkey. Great snack, no carbs.

Pork skins and ranch dressing
- I like to add a little hot sauce to my ranch beforehand. Try to get the wishbone ranch. It has the lowest carbs of all the ranch dressings I've found.
