I'm on day 8 of not smoking. The hard core cravings have diminished to 1 or 2 per day now. The lesser intensity cravings are down to maybe a handful. I have been seriously snacking my ass off. In an effort to not gain 50 pounds, and because I am now back at work today, I bought a bag of shelled sunflower seeds. Either my taste buds have changed, or they have always tasted like total ass. Either way, I was just about to throw them out when a co-worker traded me them for some raw cashews. The raw cashews are awesome. Shelled, and that's it. Just as nature intended. Delicious.

I love raw cashews! You may want to take a B-Complex while you're still having cravings. They help reduce the severity of them.

I think you'd be better off with an assortment of veggies to snack on. Carrots, celery, raw broccoli and cauliflower. Or at least add veggies for variety.

Or maybe it's just because I'm craving some raw broccoli and cauliflower right now. tongue

I love cashew, but like most nuts....they are pure fat, which means very high in calories. Don't overdo it on them if you don't want to gain weight.

Chew toothpicks. Seriously, it's 0 calories, and takes your mind off the cravings.
