I'm going to list snacks and foods that Rick and I eat.
I don't use any special sweetener, just a no calorie one, any one you like.
I know some are not safe, but I don't eat much of it, not like the researchers feed to mice...
I really don't recommend any special brands at all, I'm just listing stuff we use daily.
You can live with this diet longer, I believe, if you can just work it into your normal lifestyle.
So try to keep it simple!

I forgot to tell you about the gravy I use.
ReplyDeleteMcCormics brand, it's a dry mix in an envelope in the spices section of grocery store.
I use the brown gravy mix or the chicken is good too. But you just add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. 1 serving is 1/4 cup and has about 3 grams of carb and 1 gram of sugar.
I heat some meatballs and put gravy on top, does not taste like diet food at all!
I just added frozen meat balls to my list also, because I forgot to list them. These are great! I buy Wal-Marts brand, just heat in the microwave, serve plain like meat loaf, or make some of the gravy I listed, you can even make a sandwich with them...yum, enjoy.
