  • Water is always the best choice, but when I need some fizz I'll get some Zevia. It's soda sweetened with stevia instead of artificial sweeteners. No sugar, no calories, 3 carbs.All sorts of flavors. www.zevia.com/‎ Edited to say: You can find this at your local health food store or have it shipped from Amazon.

  • Thanks, but I am trying to stay away from dairy at the moment. I feel like I am getting enough salt ( Real Salt - with the minerals) so I am going to try calcium and magnesium tonight before I go to bed. Hope it helps.

  • I am not a vegetarian, but I use vegan protein powders: Sun Warrior - Vanilla ( I have not tried the chocolate or natural favors yet) - The protein comes from rice and it is sweetened with Stevia.
