Eating only vegetables and limited meat product. No fruit, no honey....it had been weeks eating like this....and then a light shone on the soda aisle:
Virgil's Stevia Root Beer
It was like having sugar without having sugar. Many of the herbs in it even are candida fighting foods. Made with Stevia, another plant derived sweetener, this root beer is a perfect blend of flavor and fizziness to the sugar starved taste buds. I had not been a fan of using stevia to sweeten food because of it's somewhat peculiar aftertaste. That after taste is present still, but the other herbs mask it well.
Even if you aren't on this diet, consider trying this miracle soda. It comes in two other flavors now: cream soda and cherry cola. I have not tried either of those yet and do not know if the flavors blend with the Stevia as well. The secondary benefit of this soda is that is has ZERO calories!

I can't even tell you how much I love you for finding this!!! With my seizures I can't have aspartame, and so I've been having to just choke the calories down when I had to have a soda. NOW I CAN HAVE THIS!!!!!!! I've been on the lookout for calorie free/aspartame free soda for over a year now. You ROCK WOMAN!
ReplyDeleteI am sooo glad this helps you :D This soda really saved me too. I love carbonation. I found that the colder you can get it the better, I usually have one in ice.
