Diet Rite soda - Peach or Raspberry - made with splenda - and on Phase I, really helped to curb my fruit craving.

I have found (in Canada):

Orowheat (sp?) Carb Counting Multi-Grain bread...6 net grams of carb per slice and it's goooooooooooooood

Ross Dark Chocolate candy bars (has sugar alcohol but only 1net carb per)

President's Choice Just Peanuts Peanut Butter totally rocks

Atkins Blueberry Muffin mix -- frankenfood but whatever

Starbucks Crustless Cheesecake -- 2.2net carbs, no sugar, no gluten or something.

That's it so far. If I think of anything else, I will pass it on.

I've always loved Snack Wells cookies, and now they're making Sugar Free varities. I've tried the Oatmeal cookies and the Fudge Brownies. Both were very good and got me past some serious snack cravings without being to bad. And since they're from Snack Wells, you don't get the high fat content that is common in "low carb" products. The kinds I bought were 90 calories a cookie and 2.5 - 3.5 total fat grams. They are fairly good sized cookies too. The hard part was stoping with just one!

*Note: I have heard that their Chocolate Chip cookies are pretty high in fat content, so check the labels.

Particularly check for trans-fats. Trans fat is WORSE than saturated fat. Also be aware that some low carb products are higher in calories than regular, as well as more expensive.

I just had some Buckwheat pankakes for breakfast, and they were wonderful! I bought "Bob's Red Mill Old Fashioned, Stone Ground Buckwheat Pancake & Waffle Mix". Long name, but well worth it:-) A friend recomended these to me, and I'm so glad I listened. She says her kids love them and think that they're chocolate becuase they're brown. 18 grams of fats, but only 2 Saturated grams and no Trans fats. 4 grams of fiber and 8 grams of Protein. I did add a little Splenda, but I'm not sure that it really needed it.

I just read in my newest Redbook that cinnamon (1/2 tsp a day) can help you avoid Type II (Adult onset) Diabetes! Can't hurt...personally, I love cinnamon!

Crystal Light Sunrise flavor - Is my favorite new product. It's almost like drinking orange juice, as close as I can get to it on SB anyway! It has Vit. C and calcium too. I buy it at the regular grocery store, although they tend to sell out of it quite a bit. I had to go to 2 stores today to find it. I bought the last two they had on the shelf!

I haven't opened the bag to taste it yet, but I found

Home Pride Bread 100% Whole Grain Sugar Free

at my Giant Eagle today.

Post Shredded Wheat 'n Bran is pretty darn tasty! Ingredients: Whole Grain Wheat and Wheat Bran (that's it!). 8g dietary fiber, 7 g protein. I love it with Stevia & berries in the morning for breakfast. I've also found it works well crushed and used as a crunchy topping or crust. I tried Uncle Sam's cereal and was annoyed at the flaxseeds getting stuck in my teeth and thought it tasted pretty much like cardboard :-)

Just to add a note on "Canadian bacon"...it is pork tenderloin that is cured. Completely different from regular bacon, it is very very lean. That's why it is acceptable on SBD.

Carb Down Flatbreads ($2.00 a package at WalMart, near the deli counter) are huge and make a great base for SBD acceptable pizza. The Canadian bacon makes a great topping, as does the Hormel turkey pepperoni. Pile on the veggies, s/f tomato sauce, herbs, and of course a little cheese. I now like it better than the real thing!

I love Flavors2Go, fruit flavors. I use them in ricotta for dessert, and in LF or NF cream cheese to spread on celery or slices of apple. Plus in protein shakes, tea, seltzer and water. They're sold in Castus LowCarb stores, and on the web.
