What exactly are slider foods?

Slider foods are foods that "slide" through your pouch without giving a feeling of fullness. Some are perfectly fine, like yogurt or protein shakes. But even with healthy foods, you have to be especially "serving-size" conscious with anything that slides. Less healthy choices can be disastrous. Crackers, pretzels, cereal, etc. make you want to drink with them, but once you drink, they slide right through you and make you crave more. Just think about anything that turns to mush when you add liquid.

Also they can vary greatly person to person. For me it's usually anything too calorically dense, too smooth of a texture (protein bars, yogurt, etc) that doesn't spark the satisfied sensation. But by far my biggest sliders are nuts. I try to usually pair them with foods that don't have high calories or generally slide like kale (in a salad)
