Have you had Weight Watchers Fruities? They’re kind of like a gummy candy but much more chewy; actually kind of rubbery but they have good flavor.

There’s absolutely no redeeming nutritional value to them but they are a diet friendly option (the whole box is 1 Weight Watcher point) when I want a sweet taste in my mouth and am trying avoid inhaling a 600 calorie chocolate/caramel brownie (with powered sugar on top please).

But unlike what my new Weight Watchers leader said at my last meeting (when I truly think she was trying to blow smoke up everyone’s butt), they are not filling. She told us a little story about how she was recently delayed at the airport and was really hungry but didn’t want to eat very much because her husband was picking her up and taking her out to eat. So she said she popped 2 WW Fruities into her mouth and, tada, she was satisfied until mealtime (ummm…seriously…10 calories satisfied her hunger and got her to mealtime?).

While they will never be a hunger filler for me, they are a standby in my purse. The downsides though are that they aren’t sold in stores. You have to go to a Weight Watchers meeting location to buy them (but you don’t to be a member or join in order to purchase them). And, they aren’t cheap. In my area, a pack containing 2 single serve boxes is $2.50.

They come in three flavors; strawberry, blackberry and cherry. Strawberry is my favorite.

They’re another option that just might help you get over a “hump” in your day and stay on your diet.
