Hello I am new to the community. Just joined yesterday but feeling really good about finding this group. I think this is a strategy that will actually work for me. I was surprised when I went through the menu-planner just how many of the items we already had in our home. The biggest reason I think this will work is my wife who does the grocery shopping can actually find these items and she may actually join with me.
So I wanted to ask, some people like coffee, others like alcohol, I like to drink a diet coke in the afternoon and when we go out to eat. May I still drink a diet coke or should I abstain?
Another question – Is there a way to search the forum? My hunch is somebody has probably already asked this question 🙂
Hi, maytm, and welcome! I’m glad to read that your transition is not to difficult, and that your wife may join your efforts. We are currently working on a search function for the forums.
Regarding Diet Coke, we don’t recommend readymade diet beverages because they use artificial sweeteners, which can work against your efforts here. You would be better off making your own with plain carbonated water, squeezes of fresh lemon or lime or a couple of drops of natural flavor extract (“cola” does exist!) and a high-quality natural low-carb sweetener such as Stevia and/or erythritol.
