No Sugar (or Low Sugar) Diet

Pretty much any protein with a vegetable or side salad will give you a "no sugar" diet. For your salads you can use vinegar and oil as a dressing. It really is quite simple to do it just requires a little planning.

I agree!!! I lowered my sugar because diabetes runs in my family and I was headed the same way. I keep my sugar under 30 normally (I'm pregnant right now and have to have a little more). If I want to lean out, I drop it under 20. 90% of that comes from fresh fruits and veggies. It really is a simple diet and very easy to do. Just read your labels and you'll do fine!!!

New Age Brownies: More delicate than Anytime Brownies, and a very different kind of recipe. Still no bad fat, egg yolks -- or sugar in the form of mashed bananas, dates, honey, molasses & its other disguises. (You get plenty of sugar from the healthy grains, fruits, & veggies you eat. Metabolism's bottom line: EVERYTHING breaks down to one of three things: protein, fat, or sugar.)

1/2 cup Quick cook oatmeal
3/4 cup Oat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa
1 cup Splenda
~~~~~~~~~~
1 tbsp Ener-G egg replacer & 6 tbsp warm water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup liquid egg whites
*3/4 cup shredded fat free mozzarella cheese.
5 tbsp canola oil

Preheat oven to 350. Spray baking dish with cooking spray.
Mix 6 dry ingredients in medium bowl; set aside.
Separately fork-froth the Ener-G & water, then add vanilla.
Combine egg whites, cheese, & canola in skillet over low-medium heat, stirring as the cheese melts, adding the Ener-G mixture & vanilla. If eggs start to cook, remove from heat for a bit, stir more.
Now add dry ingredients to mixture in pan, stir, pour into baking dish.
Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool 10-15 minutes before cutting.

Makes 16 snack-sized brownies, 97 calories each, or 12 huge brownies, 130 calories each. In each 12-size brownie: 5 g protein, 2 g dietary carbs.

* The cheese is what binds, like sugar & egg yolks.

Meghan- if you can go cold turkey, go for it, as I agree with the concept that a little bit of sugar, even if in different forms than refined sugar, will make you keep wanting it. The question is: will you be able to give it up for an ongoing period in your life with rare indulgences every few months, or will it be more of a zig-zag, because switching can be tricky. Best of luck either way--

Kristin- I've just seen that brownie recipe on another forum- apparently it's popular!
my question would be whether the Splenda can be substituted, as its not the healthiest of sweeteners/sugar substitutes for some people...
