Fruit is great - badabababa, I'm loving it.
But I'm trying to resist the call of cravings for chocolate and sweets _unsure.gif My mom's really stingy on buying snack bars. We tried Weight Watchers ice cream once - it was gone in less than a week. I eat Special K in the morning. Or, rather, I did before our pantry got infested with ants cry.gif I prefer my cereal without insects, thank you.

Snacks are bad. Eat complete meals.

"Research tells us that complete digestion and assimilation of one meal takes roughly three to four hours. The digestive process involves a stepwise procedure of various enzymes and gastric juices being introduced as they are needed. As one completes its job, the next comes as the first is dissipated. And so forth until digestion is complete enough for assimilation to occur. However, if one snacks during this process, the original digestive enzymes are forced to enter, thereby negating the effectiveness of the ones already there." -Power: A Scientific Approach

Dark chocolate also has proven benefits. A little bit of chocolate is healthy.
