While we are at it, let me share my secret: carrots as a snack (together with sports). Of course, this is not an exact recipe for success but it did work in my case and I've been surprised by it. I started training kickboxing again this summer, and I lost 4 kg in the first weeks, as expected. Because "we loose all the liquids", or so I'm told. Anyway, I was weighting myself in the scale every now and then but I always kept the same weight. Then, suddenly, one day I was off another extra 7 kg... I was amazed. I haven't weighted myself in a month. I couldn't believe it (except that I already felt I was thinner, when touching my belly; and faster during the sport..) So, the a few days later I was talking to my mother and I told her how I've been coming from work, eat a carrot or two, and go straight to my training session. And that's when it hit me... it was a matter of replacing cookies, fruit, or anything else I've been doing with carrots. Their crunchy really satiated me, so that after the sport I would eat a normal meal and not a bigger one (which I belive has been partially my problem so far too).
