9. Open-Faced Rice Cake Sandwiches

Rice cakes are a light, crunchy and low-carb base for any sort of sandwich. Top with nut butter for a healthy fat and protein source to keep you full, and then add fresh berries instead of jelly for a naturally sweet twist. You can even mash the raspberries first and then spread them on top for a jam-like texture. This yummy combo is also free from added sugar but can still help curb sweet cravings.

 

10. Veggie “Fries” & Hummus

Veggies are always a good idea! They can support healthy weight loss since they are a high volume food rich in fiber and water. You don’t need to only opt for the usual veggie sticks like celery. “Pair hummus with water-rich vegetables like carrots, bell peppers or sugar snap peas to satisfy your craving for something crunchy while getting an extra serving of vegetables (and fiber!) in,” Zhu says.
