Most people know that I live in a sugar-free household due to my dads diabetes. Have for years, which is probably why my blood sugar is so good considering my weight (doesn’t mean I’m not still at risk, just at less of one).
Dad and I are always finding different ways to enjoy food without the sugar. Sometimes I supplement honey as a sweetener, and he mainly uses splenda. I do keep stevia around for myself and he uses it now and then, but he’s more used to splenda.
One of our favorite drinks is by 4C Totally Light, more specifically the “Green Tea” mix. 0 calories, 0 sugar, technically 0 everything except calcium. And it tastes like Arizona Green Tea, which I love.
Looking through some of the other 4C Totally Light Drinks (and there are many), it looks like most of them are 0 calorie (or very little), almost all of them are 0 sugar, and some even give protein (which will be much needed after surgery).
So while I still drink mainly water at work, this provides some flavor now and then, which will aid in me not getting bored or trying to find something inappropriately sweet.
