Funny. After moping about the conditions on food in my life, I now get to write a "Fun Food Friday" post. I can't lie and say I'm feelin' it. I'm not. Even though it's the Met and my body that are causing all the problems here, it sure feels like the food's fault.
But I think I can work up enough excitement for one entry.
One snack that has not let me down this whole time is Mott's no sugar added applesauce. I don't know what I'd do without it. Sometimes I get the jar of plain applesauce and add cinnamon for some extra yum. Right now I'm obsessed with getting the different flavors of their mixed sauce in little work friendly cups. My favorites are the strawberry, peach and country berry. It's always been a comfort food and now I'm counting my lucky stars that some genius finally realized that fruit is sweet enough without sugar, and that there is no need to add aspartame!!
I guess I can't shake the grumps. Oh well. If you're cut off from sugar like I am, try this. It's delicious. It's sweet. It's refreshing. It makes Barb slightly less grumpy.
If you want to join in, see this post for details.

Three cheers for Mott's no sugar added applesauce!!
Those are good! I really like the pomegranate one. And the cranberry raspberry. Try sticking them in the fridge. I liked them even better when they were cold.
You might also try sugar free popsicles. Matt eats ten million of those per day because they are one of the only sweet things he can have.
It was always kinda a chore to figure out what I could eat and couldn't eat in the beginning of met.formin. It was especially difficult if we had to eat out on the road at a resturaunt.
Eventually, your stomach will settle some and the choices will come easier to you. Hang in there!!
I didn't get time to post for today; but I don't think the crap I inhaled and called "food" today would qualify for your fun food. I am drinking V8 Splash, though - does that get me any points? :)
Try freezing grapes...its like having a piece of cold, hard candy.
Thanks Jamie! :)
Jen - I put them in the fridge too. I haven't seen those flavors! Do they come in the no sugar kind? Sugar free popsicles generally have an artificial sweetener, and I'm avoiding those too. :(
BEG - How long before you saw a change to your cycles with Met?
SG - ANYthing fun counts. V8 splash would work! And it doesn't have to be something you recently ate. :)
Thanks Kristin! Remember though that grapes are one of those things higher on that dreaded index. :(
I'm constantly looking for sugar free foods - not loaded down with aspartame. Not much out there, that taste half way good.
I'am going to try that applesauce though, sounds good.
