Little things to keep you sain.

These small tips will help you stay sain durring contest prep.

#1) Sugar free gum- This stuff lowers your hunger and keeps your mind off of food. at 5 calories a stcik, you can have a pretty good amount of it, dont go overboard. I normally have about half a pakc a day durring prep if im not doing anything, they saved my ass durring school.

#2) Sugar free jello- This stuff keeps your sweet tooth at bay, 10 calories a serving, helps fill you up, dont go over 3 servings a day.

#3) Diet soda-0 calories, better then water (taste wise), like evertying else, dont overdue it. i only have about 3 a day when dieting. some people have a lot more. Some people dont have any, because of carbonation, fake sugar, ect.. i love the stuff and couldnt diet without it.

#4)Cool wip free- 25 calories per serving, throw some on top of oatmeal with soem cinnimon and you got an awesome source of carbs.

#5)crystal light- 5 calories a serving. pretty much water, tons of flavors so you get a lot of veriety. I like ruby red grapefruit the best.

If you guys have anything else to add feel free.

Nice tips Gumby, thanks! I partake in eating one if not all of those on a near daily basis. I also like these sugar free Meringue cookies that you can find in these plastic tubs. All different flavors...made mostly of fake sugar and egg whites. :) And sugar free chocolate syrup is good too.

Gonna sound pyscho, but if you are really hungry and dont want to eat, have a tums or rolaids. They calm down the stomach acid and help curb the urge.

some of those sugar replacement ingredients are really bad for you though!!!

In the stead of gum I use Skoal Bandits. Curbs appetite and nicotine is an excellent nutrient partitioner.
