While we are discussing diets, anybody has a good replacement for snacks? Few years ago I realized I am really prone to stress-eating.

If I am not stressed, I can go about my day, eating 2 big meals a day (and a small breakfast), and even slowly loose wight.

But if I am under pressure I can eat another large meal worth of snacks. And I really don't like it, because then I am gaining weight really fast :-/ Anybody in similar situation? What helped you there?

Snack on something like carrots, cucumber, and other vegetables that aren't sweet or fatty. You'll significantly cut down on the calories and gain some healthy food too. Just don't create dipping sauce or the like. Raw vegetables only.
You could go with the route other users are suggesting and eat something that is filled with water and will probably leave your system undigested (e.g. fiber-filled vegetables). Or you could also try ingesting mud, for that matter.

I suggest you give almonds, macadamia nuts and pork rinds a go.

Carrots, celery, cucumber, 0% fat cottage cheese.
Fizzy water here.

Got a sodastream, keep a couple of bottles in the fridge at all times.

Snack on vegetables.
