Taming Salty Cravings!
Ah Cravings...some people have carb cravings, some have sweet cravings and
then there are those who love potato chips, nuts and pretzels, in other words--
salty cravings.
Well, if you can't go a day without potato chips or nuts, you're not alone,
food network star--Giada De Laurentiis feels your pain- as she too
also shares the same cravings for salty foods.
And unlike a lot of stars who also cook, Ms. Delaurentiis seems to have
controlled and managed her cravings and (weight) for all of these years.
So, what does she do if a salty cravings strikes?
She goes for legumes, in other words beans (or peas) but more specifically--
Chickpeas.
Yes, chickpeas- the legumes you use to make great tasting hummus, are
the same food Ms. Delaurentiis uses to shut down salty cravings.
Why chick peas?
The beans pack a 6 grams of metabolism-revving protein and 4 grams of filling
fiber per ping pong ball-size handful.
That's it- and if you want to follow in the steps of the Food Network
star-then look for crispy chickpeas called Saffron Road Crunch Chickpeas-
which can be found at supermarkets or online at Amazon.com. Price --$4 for 6 oz.
Or save your money and buy canned chickpeas, rinse them a few times,
dry them off, place them on a cookie sheet, sprinkle some olive
or coconut oil over them and bake for 30 mins. at 350 degrees.
You can add some spices- curry or turmeric powder, cayenne pepper
or grated cheese before or after baking them.

Control your salty cravings by eating popcorn as well.
