My nutritionist put me on a low carb, no sugar, no white foods like sugar, pasta, potatoes, etc., no fruit, no milk products, no diet drinks unless sweetened with Splenda. I know I can eat meats, eggs, and veggies. And he said that I can eat wheat bread. Are there any sugar free condiments out there like ketchup, salad dressing, etc that I can eat. Also, what can I eat if I get the sweets craving? This is all new to me, and it seems so restricted. I know it will help me thought and will pay off in the long run.

Your nutritionist put you on this diet?
Do you have a medical condition that requires a low carb diet?

I did the low carb diet for a few months and I have a major sweet tooth. I would eat sugar-free fruit flavored gelatin when I got a craving for sweets. But you can also make peanut butter cookies or almond cookies (you'll need almond flour for these, which are just finely grind almonds). You can even make low carb cheesecake. You'll have to google for the recipes of the low carb versions of these sweet treats.

i am on a low carb lifestyle and i eat a lot of different things. I dont eat meat so i eat meatless products which you should check out even if you do eat meat because they taste good and there are a lot to choose from. I eat tons of veggies, cheese,eggs. For the sweet tooth-diet soda, sugar free gum, candy, jello, low carb bars and shakes, sugar free chocolate. [removed]

You should be able to have

1) 1-2 oz serving of nuts, cashews are the only high carb(high sugar) nut to avoid.
2) 1/2 cup serving of berries which are all very low, with whip cream or cool whip which is high fat but low in sugar.
3) Salad dressing like Italian, Blue cheese, oil and vinegar, some brands of Caesar dressing, or mayonaise. Thousand Island is full of sugar as is the Kraft coleslaw dressing.
4) Presidents choice makes great low carb catsup, low or zero carb syrup (great on whole wheat french toast) also it's hard to find but there is all kinds of low carb products out there like the Atkins bake mix which uses Soy protein Isolate to make an inadequate muffin etc lol. HOWEVER some may have Aspertame which you are avoiding!
5) cheese! You can bake it into crisps, melt it over seafood or eggs, put it on a ww cracker or eat it plain!
6) Some Thai food like Tom ka Gai or Panaange(sp?) both made with coconut milk, vegies and meat.

For snacks I make

1) tuna salad in a romaine lettuce boat
2) devilled eggs or egg salad (you can have ww bread so you're lucky but if you're trying to lose weight then more than 2 pieces a day will stop any w loss.)
3) a fun platter of deli meat, cheese, pickles, smoked salmon, olives, with a handful of ww crackers
4) homemade beef jerky (check store bought for sugar).
5) seafood and cheese stuffed baked mushrooms or green peppers
6) "3 layer jello" where I use the sugar free jello and make 3 diff layers letting it solidify between layers of course. Then I put it in a bowl with a handful of raspberries, pour cream over top and sprinkle with a little splenda and it's a wicked sweet and pretty snack. Yum! Will think of other ideas...

thank you all for responding. First of all yes, my doctor sent me to this nutritionist, and he put me on this diet. I'm having a lot of headaches, head pressure, lightheadedness and have went to many many specialists to no avail. So this is a last resort kind of thing. I also need to lose weight, so hoping this will help. The only thing about this is why is he taking me off of all fruit? I thought fruit was healthy for you. He said to follow the Atkins diet, but to not eat cheese either. This is new and restrictive. However, I'm finding that stirfrys, omelets, and baked chicken is not that bad. And I baked cookies last night made from Splenda, natural peanut butter and an egg. The only thing I really miss is my Dt. Dr. Pepper. Speaking of Atkins, with all of the restrictions that I'm on, can I eat the Atkins bars, and drink the shakes? That would be good if I could.

Good question. I just grabbed a bar from the cupboard and it doesn't seem to have anything you can't have except for sucralose which I think is a much healthier Aspertame substitute which may or may not be equivalent to Splenda, which you are allowed. [removed] If you can I highly recommend the Atkins Endulge bars, they are fantastic! Especially the coconut bar it tastes almost exactly like an Almond Joy! The caramel nut one is also really good. I haven't tried the shakes, I bought some mix once and it said "not necesary to use a blender" but it was so lumpy and gross that I gave the rest away. If you could get the pre-made shakes they would probably be better esp on the run.

He took you off fruit cuz most (except berries) are absolutely full of sugar! A glass of OJ has more carbs than a chocolate bar! Ditto a banana. Yes healthier, potassium, fiber, natural sugar but still! I believe juice was my weakness cuz I too thought it healthy and had 2 glasses a day. Now I drink water, green tea, or diet pop. However if your nutritionalist said "follow Atkins" then berries are allowed after the first 2 weeks.

Also there are several diet pops made with Splenda, C-plus is one, but I have had others, just read the labels. I'm pretty sure one brand of root beer does which is kinda like Dr Pepper....

thank you i will check into the bars.

I'm really surprised that this person put you on that sort of a diet. Everyone needs carbs
