A little trick to fool the mind
Sometimes I get this crazy craving for something salty and savory and it's just not mealtime.
I've found that a mug of salted chicken broth does the trick. (If a glass of whole milk is allowed, I figure chicken broth is. Chicken broth has about the nutritional value of coffee with cream, anyway).

Yeah I get that too sometimes.
I find that chewing on a ice cube works quite well. You can freeze them with a touch of salt or some cordial. V8 etc if you so desire for flavour.
There's something about *eating* it that draws your attention to the task, vs drinking. Maybe that's just me - call it training wheels? 'Snacking without snacking'?
(Plus water has the added advantage of giving you a sense of satiety...without giving you any calories)
I dunno - it might be a 'gate' around the 'fence'...which is *not* good for vanilla No-S

thanks for your post
i recently had a cup of broth when i was very hungry instead of snacking but like a true dieter seriously questioned it .. snack or no snack?? it was all liquid so i rationalized that it didn't count as a failure.
but i like the moral support
thanks

just wanted to add a short quote from Reinhard's book on here:
Blueskighs
that being said I drink water and 4-8 oz of Monavie (a whole fruit no sugar added juice) each day .... most of the times I drink the Monavie with a meal, or as a meal a few times, but sometimes I drink it between meals.The No S Diet does not count drinks (even caloric ones) as snacks. You can drink whenever you want, unless it is full of sugar, in which case it counts as a sweet.
