Guest guest Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Another good soda is the Hansen's Naturals Diet line. They're also made with Splenda, and have no sodium. They make ginger ale, blackberry, peach, kiwi strawberry, mandarine orange and tangerine lime (yeah, I'm familiar with it!). Here in the West they sell them at Trader Joe's.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Soda pop is my downfall. I try to stick to the diet sodas, but sometimes I go back to the regulars. As for water, I do drink quite a bit at work, but water seems to make me irritable for some reason. I also drink tea with fake sugar (The new yellow pack, whatever that's called) and the Doctors say that coffee is fine for my as long as no sugar (I don't like sweet coffee anyway) and only one or two creamers (I tend to go approx. one creamer per 2oz of coffee - 12oz cup = 6 creamers, 20oz cup = 10 creamers --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 , perhaps the withdrawls from the caffiene is what makes you irritable and not the water? I know every time I try to give up my Diet Coke I become a monster, but I think it's the coming off the caffiene & other chems. On the TVP note, I keep seeing it at my local health food store. I saw some that looked like chicken filets. Do you ever use that? Please pass on any info on how to cook with it. I'm trying to sneak in my hubby's diet without him knowing, lol.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Quite a few groceries and delis here in Seattle sell Hansen's. Although I don't normally look at the specialty sodas, the Tangerine Lime sounds interesting. I've noticed that sodium levels tend to be a bit high in some drinks. Ever check the sodium content of plain old milk (even 1% and non-fat)? Re: Beverages Another good soda is the Hansen's Naturals Diet line. They're also made with Splenda, and have no sodium.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 I'm not going off of caffeine. Water just makes me irritable. TVP, like tofu, is basically tasteless. They can be made into beef, chicken and pork substitutes. I've seen all sizes up to cutlet and breasts. ok, the label says: Dist. by: The Mail Order Catalogue Box 180 Summertown, Tn 38483 Although a websearch shows: Mail Order Catalog/Information and Products for Sustainable Healthy Life Summertown, Tennessee, USA The Mail Order Company P.O.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Well since being diagnosed hubby only drinks caffeine free diet coke and water. He has occasionally drank some juice. But not much and not often. He has always been a juice lover and well they are just not as healthy as they would like you to think they are in some aspects. Every now and again when he has been out and it is cold. I will warm him a glass of milk and put some sugar free chocolate mix in it. That we found at Meijers... But mostly he sticks to diet Coke and water though.. Have a great day and stay warm ! (Or at least try too anyhow) Rob and Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 There aresome flavored waters out there that are sweetened with splenda that are bad. I believe also that diet rite is sweetened with splenda Denyse, a transplant from Seattle (Issaquah) to Northern VA Re: Beverages Don't like Pepsi One. Fresca and Tab (really old standbys) are good. Also Diet Cherry Coke, and Diet Vanilla Coke. I'm lucky in that I work in a store and can special order from the vendors. Otherwise, Tab and Diet Cherry Coke are really hard to find. Others, like Diet Dr Pepper aren't that great. I still like hot tea with Splenda (I remembered the name! =)erages Ever try Pepsi One? That's pretty good for a diet soda.

Lots of caffeine in it though but I drink it early in the day, before 4PM. I don't have any problems with caffeine as long as I drink it early so I can sleep at night.

I love cranberry juice, not Ocean Spray becaise they add a lot of sugar to it but I drink Apple & Eve because there's no added sugar to it.
