The Candida Directory and Cookbook (http://www.amazon.com/Candida-Directory-Comprehensive-Guidebook-Yeast-Free/dp/0890877149)  The meals (which were delicious) usually filled me up and I didn't really snack, but when I did, I snacked on:
 hummus with cucumbers/carrots;
almond butter with Natural Nectar gluten free crackle bread;
Lundberg brown rice cakes;
Corn Thins;
Kay's Naturals pretzels (those are low carb);
cashews, almonds, or walnuts;
Stonyfield plain yogurt with cinnamon (and sometimes agave nectar)

small handful of almonds and lite string chesse; lean turkey rolled in romaine leaf; almond butter....it will keep your blood sugar even!

get a copy of THE CALORIE FAT & CARBOHYDRATE COUNTER.  It covers just about everything including a whole section on fast
food items.
The dietician reviewed everyone's circumstandes, and for me they recommended
12 carb units (a unit is 15 carbs) a day or 4 per meal.  I am not a snacker.
If I was, I would do say 3 carb units at lunch and 1 for an afternoon snack.
One thing you cannot do is skip a meal and save up carbs, say 8 for dinner.
This causes glucose overload.
Fresh fruits are OK. A moderate amount of most is about 1 carb unit.  A
medium apple is 17 carbs, 16 cherries is 16 carbs, 1/2 a grapefruit is 13,
one small bunch of grapes is 30.  Bananas are a little higher at 27 for a
medium banana.  A medium orange is 21.  I really do recommend the book I
mentioned.  It is available at Amazon.  Friut juices, even without sugar
added are much higher in carbs, although I do drink a small glass of OJ in
the moring.
For lunch I often have cottage cheese with canned fruit with no sugar added.
I also drink flavored Perrier, has zero everything.  I sometimes snack on a
few Glutino pretzels.  Also dry roasted, salt-free peanuts are also good.
If you have a Whole Food near you, they have a new item called Think Thin
Bites - sweet chocolate flavored cake-like bars that are gluten-free and no
sugar.  Very good.  A small amount of gluten-free cereal and milk also makes
a good snack but watch the carbs in them.


The No Flour No Sugar diet by Dr. Gott

I am polycystic and insulin resistant, and it doesn't seem to matter how much fat I eat (olive oil, chicken skin,
brown crunchy fat on a piece of steak) as long as I skip the carbs.  You could try increasing the good fats in
your diet (nuts, coconut, olive oil, avocado) and see if that helps.
20 yrs ago I lived on 1100cal a day low at and walked 4 miles a day and barely lost anything.  On 1600-1800 cal
almost no carbs (Atkins), but eating oil and chicken skin and occasional nuts, I lost 40 lbs without the exercise.
The diet I finally settled on was Dr. Hoffman's.  He was the MD who took over the radio program on WOR-NY from
Carlton Fredericks.  His website is www.drhoffman.com and he calls it the salad and salmon diet.  If I stay on it, the
weight stays off.  It is not limited to salad and salmon, the name is to tell you to eat alot of veggies and good fats
like fish.

I  eat the Greek plain yogurt with a little Stevia in it to sweeten it, and add some fresh or frozen berries and a little cinnamon.  The Green yogurt is very satisfying, it has a lot of protein and little fat, and it tastes good with the berries and Stevia.  Another low glycemic snack would be Kind bars.  It says low glycemic and gluten free right on the package.  They sell them at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's or online at Amazon.com or other sites.
I snack on low-fat cheese, nuts, celery with peanut butter, or sliced veggies dipped in a little ranch dressing.
