When my SIL was diagnosed with this, she found Stevia to be a great natural sweetener for tea, coffee, lemonade, etc. It's non-caloric, and is great for diabetics b/c it doesn't generate an insulin response (at all). I've found also, when I'm craving a soda, that lemon juice (and/or lime), stevia and club soda comes really close to 7-up/Sprite :). Good luck! |

I don't know about Ener-G, but stevia is great for coffee! When I bake, I use Xylitol. It is a natural corn sugar alcohol, and causes no insulin reaction. It does have some calories, but way less than sugar. It's also great for your teeth! I used to find it at the health food store, but you can also buy it online here: xlear.com, and general info on xylitol here: xylitol.org. You use it just like you would sugar, cup for cup. It's expensive ($7-9/lb), but I find it to be worth it, especially for diabetics who desire baked goodies! :) Good luck! |

You could try eating your protein first, or figure out what nutrients you're not getting from veggies (probably protein and fat-soluable vitamins), and eat those first :) They will likely be more calorie dense than veggies :) |

So you can log your weight -- which allows you to do the following:
- Plot your weight curve
- Analyze the trend of your weight (see under Recent in the figure above)
- Determine the projected target date (see under Overall in the figure above)
