I HATE rice cakes.

OK I have a huge problem with Quaker Rice Cakes and I need to vent.  Why do they have to taste so damn good and why does it go into my stomache so easily?  I just ate an entire bag of the chedder mini ones over the coarse of today.   Way to go Diane since you're so close to ONEderland.   I think I need to stop buying them.  NO..... I KNOW I need to stop buying them!

Anyone else with a problem like this?

Hello, my name is Liz and I am a cracker-aholic. I can't buy them or have them in my reach or I eat way too many. They go down easily and I can eat a ton of them without feeling full. My solution - don't have them around.

Good luck with the rice cakes!

Rice cakes, crackers, pretzels you name a dry crunchy preferably salty carb and I'm on it like white on rice.  And I don't feel full.

Those stupid little things mush down into almost nothing...and then they turn into mush and can slide right through your pouch so you don't feel full (or right through your band in your case)

Yup - my solution is the same as yours and Liz's - don't buy em. I go grocery shopping and swear I just like to torture myself...cause I walk up and down that isle....looking at the crackers and cheez its and pretzels and think about buying just about every variety.  I never buy every variety - and most times don't buy any - but there are times!

If you absolutly MUST have something salty/carby/crunchy - look for some good quality soy chips.  There are a few good ones out there...although it's been ages since I've had em and don't know the name off hand.  At least that way you are getting protein in, and oddly enough, they do fill you up nicely.

Mine is or was cuz I stopped buying them,Stacy's Pita chipsThey stopped my loss & I was addicted to them.I agree dont buy any of that

I definately have to stop buying them.  It's weird what will go in there and what wont.  You would think the rice cakes would puff up once you drank something like the dehydrated fruit did in my tummy.  (Boy that fruit hurt too!)

Hi Diane,Yes i have to admit i was a carmel rice cake freak too,Those suckers just went down and never made ya full,!Whats up with that! Now i dont buy them anymore but i sure do miss them at times of wanting to crunch on something!

Yes, I am a rice cake, soy cracker, pretzel, aholic.  Join the crowd.  I can't buy them or have them where I will find them or they will go down like a junkie shooting drugs.  I did find that I am able to control myself if I substitute a full size lightly salted rice cake for a 1/2 of a bagel with f/f cream cheese and smoked salmon.  I just have to remind myself that 1 is the LIMIT.

Quaker (and generic) rice cakes are definitely on my forbidden list, unless I go for the multi-grain.  I found Perach Whole Grain Thin Cakes at Whole Foods.  They are made with buckwheat and brown rice and I absolutely love them.
