RE: Re: sucralose/splenda and variety

[Guest guest]

Tracey: Sucralose and Splenda are healthy substitutes for sugar. they are

what most CRONIES use. Stevia is also a popular sugar substitute. They are

not and do not contain aspartame and aspartame is not recommended. You

should consider drinking healthier drinks than diet pop. Iced tea, for

example, with some Splenda or sucralose would be a good substitute.

With 20 fresh and frozen vegetables and 15 fruits available where you live,

you have plenty of variety. And, you can also do CR with frozen dinners,

since you say you like them. In our file, " CR Made Easy " we discuss using

Healthy Choice dinners, (if they sell them where you live). Skip the

dessert offered, and substitute fresh fruit instead. You can add extra

veggies to your Healthy Choice meals and a bit of healthy fat such as olive

oil, avocado or a couple of nuts. Read the files for more information.

I hope this helps you get started.

Do all of these products contain aspartame? I drink way to much diet pop as it is so I try to avoid it everywhere else. Do you worry about the risks of it or do you consider it an acceptable trade off?

I was also wondering if any of you live in small towns and have ideas on how to get "weird" veggies and fruit. The closest health food/organic store to where I live is a 45 minute drive (and I don't have a car). I would like to try things like kale, artichokes and turnip greens. I tried a garden this summer but only the lettuce and beans came up. Forget buying anything whole wheat unless it's expensive cereal or breads.

I find it very hard to eat healthy with only 20 fresh or frozen vegetables to chose from and 15 kinds of fruit, I almost miss the days of premade frozen dinners. How do those of you stuck in the boonies manage variety?

Tracey,

I live in a small town in Ohio, population 5000. I

order many things over the internet and have found a

wonderful store in a larger city about ten miles away

whose owner orders for me. I do many things at home

like make my own yogurt, and kefir, grow sprouts and

make my own puddings and desserts using the products I

found at this site. I eat everything that I consider

healthy but in smaller amounts. I have the additional

problem of being from a diabetic family so I have to

limit starches and high glycemic carbs. I substitute

with sprouted bread, etc. (see files for recipe) You

could eat like this forever without being bored no

matter where you live.

agreed... I live in a small town in MS (pop 650 and they're exaggerating). Sprouts, Kefir, etc.... you can find supplies to make your own just about anything, including us on the internet....
