I used to like the fall ( because I got to wear flattering clothes again- summer sleeveless and bathing suits were always dreaded ) but also hated it because the cold weather comes with so many constant fattening food cravings -
Nuts , cheeses, baked goods, fatty meats like ribs ...used to seem like I could never get enough- anything pumpkin spice flavored lol...
One low-fat but very filling and nutty tasting nut substitute I often turn to post op is chestnuts.
Popcorn ( especially the kettle cooked slightly toasted but oil-free kind I'm making now) is also a super low fat high fiber guilt free snack. I eat it with Molly McButter sprinkles which are salty but fat free.
Baked squash used in everything from soups to muffins ( one of these days I'll dare attempt a sweet potato or pumpkin pie ) .
Roasted Brussels sprouts ( I roll them in a BIT of sesame oil - a tablespoon will cover literally a whole bag of sprouts and then sprinkle VERY liberally with Greek Seasoning ) are a DELICIOUS and filling vegetable snack.
Sliced baked low-fat ham rubbed with Five Spice seasoning , studded with cloves and topped with Apricot Saucy Susan or Ah-So Chinese Pork Barbecue seasoning ( the scary red color is , it turns out from beets ... and it marries so well with ham)
What have you discovered ?

How do you make them ?
I bought ( raw sweet potato and raw acorn squash ) crinkle - cut " fries" from Whole Foods but was disappointed how dry and tiny they came out of the air fryer. ( I just put them in plain at 450)
TY !!
