Hi


I'm new to all this so bear with me please.

I have to lose some weight...ok, lots of weight.

Low carbs makes logical sense. So I thought some sugar free mints would be a useful diet weapon.
But no, they have carbohydrates. Some of the low calorie sweeteners contain carbs too.

So where else will surprise me?

Is there are friendly alternative to a sugar free sweet?

Any help welcome.

Thanks

A useful book to use is the Calorie Carb & Fat Bible 2013, I don't eat sweets so have no recommendations to offer.

It's funny because I don't eat sweets either (preferring a massive bar of chocolate!) so I thought I was being cleverr as a minty mouth would mean no snacking.

Think I may just have to clean my teeth 10 times a day
