why are you snacking, might be the better question. Also, how can you eat so much, ie volume, while taking topamax? and if you are taking metformin, should you be snacking? I have pretty much stopped snacking and just have meals. my issue was not having a big enough breakfast, followed by an early enough and substantial enough lunch. Then fruit (ie ONE apple) and veg and hummus will suffice for dinner. The sugar in the fruit might be making you more hungry? Or are you eating something very salty before it, that makes you crave an excess of fruit? I know that restricting salt in my diet curbs my appetite, just because when I DO have salt, my appetite can become insatiable.
