very low or no carb snacks for late evening

[Mulberry]

Hi all

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for very low or no carb snacks that could be eaten as supper and don't include the normal idea of eggs, fish or nuts. I often get hungry again about 9pm and also still trying to get my morning BS below 8.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

How about cheese, like Babybel, Edam, Gouda, Leerdammer etc.? I find these take the edge off my appetite quite well and stop me craving carbs 🙂 Or cold meats - I really like some proper ham (not the reconstituted, flavourless pre-packaged watery stuff!).

If I fancy a nibble in the evening (and I am not sure if it is actual hunger or just a habit) I tend to reach for the monkey nuts (peanuts in their shells) for two reasons one is the lack of carbs, the second is that as I have to go through the process of shelling them and that slows down the eating process (whereas shelled peanuts in a bag you can grab a handful at a time, with the monkey nut the most nuts I have ever got out of a single shell is 3 !)

I'm concentrating on sugar free drinks - diet ginger beer etc, and this fills me up sufficiently to reduce the cravings. I know it's not food but it works.

A yoghurt maybe, usually a 125g pot contains 15-20g of carbs but is low GI, worth testing, but might not work for everyone.....

What about a cup of hot Bovril? or fruit flavoured tea? Being hot they take the edge off the appetite.
I usually give my husband hot milky drinks but they do contain some carbs but he seems to need them around 9pm.
Or my tomato soup . recipe in recipe section. Has very few carbs.

I'll often peel a carrot and eat that raw, or a couple of inches of cucumber. Or some baby tomatos.
