that's the same for me. The only way that i was actually able to loose weight fast enough and without blood sugar crashes was with whey protein powder in coffee for breakfast, lots of salads and nuts for lunch (but i ate grilled chicken) for protein often, and tons of broccoli and the low carb protein bars. I had leftovers when i was doing the nanny job and did not eat the carbs. stevia and splenda have worked as sweetners when i wanted that. the hardest thing is the 'salt deficiency' and not having the right sodium levels. I still laugh when i think of ed H telling me he's getting me a deer lick for my birthday. (this was when we stepped off the plane at north perry and i was licking salt from a packet in my palm. :)
