I am very interested to see your thoughts. I was also surprised about all the ways sugar sneaks in to foods. Luckily I'm a mustard girl so my condiments were good! I tried that Dannon greek vanilla yogurt today because I had a coupon, but I wasn't impressed. I LOVE fage 0% plain with frozen berries, and I also use it instead of sour cream or mayo (don't like either of those either!).

My goals are to: stick to a specific calorie range (doesn't apply to you, but I'm trying to lose weight) & hit 5 servings of fruit & 5 of vegetables a day. As long as I do those things (and make sure I'm eating enough protein), I feel great.Running Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773459567812986141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-81542656788403808552011-04-28T16:03:11.602-04:002011-04-28T16:03:11.602-04:00Yes, great idea to try different diets!

I tend to buy the plain stuff (oatmeal, greek yogert) and then just add splenda to it to spruce it up. Yes, I know artifical sugars are not that much better, but is keeps me a stray from wanting too much sugar. I would love to see some different diets that you try out.<br />I myself am pretty boring, same foods day in and day out...I just try to stick to a diet of lots of veggies with moderate carbs and fat and high in protien.Chelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235899409275065989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-60149040527999464672011-04-28T13:27:12.327-04:002011-04-28T13:27:12.327-04:00I am definitely addicted to having something sweet...I am definitely addicted to having something sweet after each meal.

Dannon light and fit yogurt, Fiber 1 granola bars, and my honey flavored pretzels. I don't think the point is to quit eating sugar completely because as we have found that is nearly impossible, but rather to eliminate foods that the main ingrediant is sugar.<br /><br />I would love to learn more about different diets especially gluten free.
