I drink at least 5 cups of green/oolong tea daily, and chew a couple sticks of celery before dinner. I would replace snacks with apples. The tea thing would help scratch fat out of your system, as well as increase the metabolism of your body (apple provides the same effect). Celery is high in fiber, which is very essential to your digestive system (better digestion means less fat kept in the body) and will also fill up your stomach well. In other note, try to reduce the intake of foods with high carbs, such as rice, white bread and sugar. Carb is the single most fattening ingredient IMO. I lost 45 pounds and 13% of body fat in half a year(never returns) just by following the abovementioned steps.
I eat 1/2 a grapefruit with breakfast every day. Helps immensely at keeping my hunger at bay all day as it regulates blood sugar right from the get go. I've noticed a huge difference. Keeps me from craving sweets later. Also, if you're just dying to eat something or tempted to reach for junkfood, eat some cut up red peppers with sprinkled cinnamon on them - a natural appetite suppressant, or just throw a small handful of nuts in your mouth or my personal favorite, a tablespoon of natural peanut butter. Quashes the hunger and sweets craving very well. And just going for a short walk when you're craving sweets is a great way to detere yourself from eating and you'll come back from your walk refreshed and with a clear mind! But seriously, the grapefruit thing at breakfast really works.
