Recommendations and Tips!

1. I would highly recommend you getting familiar with your local Trader Joes...they are incredible when it comes to healthy food and their prices are great!

2. Henry's in Laguna Niguel is also manageable and has some great healthy products.

3. Always read the labels...you would be shocked how much sugar is in EVERYTHING!!!

4. Sugar Free York Peppermint Patties, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and other sugar free candy can be found at WalMart and Target...just be careful of eating too many of them! There's something in them called Malitol that will keep you in the bathroom if you eat too much!

5. See's Candy has some incredible sugar free Peanut Brittle.

6. Trader Joes has an Organic Dark Chocolate Bar with Almonds that has only 5 grams of sugar per serving. It's in a pink and gold wrapper by the register.

7. Make sure you pick up some packets of Stevia or Truvia...this is a potent sweetener to put on your cereal...oatmeal...etc! (No calories)

8. I have learned to like UNSWEETENED almond milk on my cereal or oatmeal...not bad, bit I wouldn't just drink it straight! Regular milk has 13 grams of sugar it it!

9. Don't use any type of fake margarine or butter...only use real butter!

10. Any type of eggs are great for breakfast.

11. A great sugar free Ice Cream named "Clemmys" can be found at Stater Brothers and Henry's...I recommend the chocolate or vanilla!
