Crackers themselves would not cause you to gain or lose weight. Those crackers (high fiber, low salt), sound like a good option but don't eat several servings in one sitting. Look at the nutrition panel and look at the fat content, serving size, calories per serving, etc. They are fine to eat in moderation.

The best way to lose weight is to follow a healthy diet (i.e. eat your fruits and vegetables, eat your whole grains, go easy on the junk food), and get proper exercise.

Since you're saying high fiber, I'm guessing you mean either Wheat Thins or Triscuits -types. They usually have a high fat content, the one element you didn't mention. I know how you feel, though; I really want some kind of cracker-type snack. My solution is a non-fat tortilla chip. It's easy: lay corn tortillas on the oven rack and heat them for about 7 to 10 minutes at about 275 degrees. Or if you want them chip-sized, spread them on a cookie sheet or foil after breaking them into triangles (fold into halves, quarters, even eighths). They will be nice and crispy. Don't let them overbrown or they will taste burnt.

it has nothing to do with amount of sodium, fiber or the fact that they are called "diet"
YOU HAVE TO COUNT CALORIES!!!
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories a day you need to maintain your weight. take 300-400calories off that number and thats how many you need to lose weight.
work out - cardio 4-6 times a week for 30-50min plus light weight training
8 glasses of water a day
5-8 servings of fruit and vegetables a day
instead of big meals eat 5-6 small meals a day (portion control)
no junk food, no bleached flower (e.g.white bread, pasta), no sodas

I will try to keep it simple. Your metabolism is basically the rate at which your body burns calories to create energy. So the faster your metabolism, the faster you burn calories and the easier it is to lose unwanted weight. To boost your metabolism naturally you just need to eat the right foods.

You can sit down and literally eat a 1,000-calorie dinner and yet be absolutely starving just a few hours later and the reason is simple: Because your body didnt get what it needed in those 1,000 calories so it sends signals to your brain telling you to ingest more calories and thus, the late-night cravings. That means that the surest way to end those late-night cravings and keep your weight loss goals on track is to eat a more balanced, nutritious diet that actually gives your body what it needs.

It's VERY EASY to lose weight if you eat the right foods. Check out Dr. Charles Livingston's video here: http://www.sexyjese.com - it will blow your mind.
