Hi,
I'm Type 2 and was making great progress with losing weight and exercising until about a year ago when life became very stressful and I resorted to comfort eating and drinking. That stressful phase seems to be coming to an end (long story) and I am trying to get back on track. I'm pretty sure I know enough to 'design' a proper healthy diet food-wise but I am looking for alternatives to my evening 'apero' of a glass of wine (or three). I drink water both plain and fizzy but I'd like to find other healthy non-alcoholic drinks and to add some variety. Pepsi produce Pepsi Max which is low-cal and sugar-free, Coca Cola likewise produce Coke Zero. I notice Tesco have a Ginger Beer (non-alcoholic), four cans for 99p, which has no added sugar and is just 1 calorie per can. Are these drinks OK as part of a healthy diet for a Type 2 person? Are there other drinks you can recommend?
Thanks in advance
