Lee58: I need to lose at least 25lbs. I enjoy sweets, what can I truly enjoy for snacks. Yes, I eat nuts, pita chips, and I use Splenda or stevia. I eat apple slices. Any suggestions.

There are so many things on here I know for a fact raise blood sugars in most diabetics, I wonder who did the research? Watermelon? It has a very high glycemic index (72) and it is listed as a "power food?" And yogurt? Even the lite ones have a ton of sugar. Graham crackers have a ton of sugar. Articles are contradictory to the research I have done.

I am really curious how you feel an apple is a "low carb" snack. What's your idea of low carb? To me a low carb snack should be 5g or less.
