Protein snacks
I know everyone seems to be saying to limit protein, but I have found that the only snacks that get me through from lunch to a late dinner, which I have on Tuesdays because of dance class, are protein snacks like chicken or jerky. Nuts, which have too many carbs for me, only make me hungrier.
I've been finding that I feel better with more protein and less carbs. But I did realize recently that my serotonin levels were dropping (based on mood and a developing depression caused by stress), so I upped my carbs before bed for a short time and "snapped out of it."

It was in her first book. And I still follow that advice because I have a low tollerance for starchy carbs. However, in her second book she categorically says not to do that. A total reversal.
I'm still tweaking, even after over 1 1/2 years. One of these days I'll get it right for me.
