I imagine you can eat your fruits in moderation once you get closer to goal. What a wonderful place to live!

I don't like any artificial sweeteners, but splenda gives me a major headache. So, on rare occasions I use aspartame. It's better than sugar, but you can't use it as much as you used to use sugar!

If you're still struggling, you might look into somersizing. She lets you eat fruit alone. Carbs w/ no fat. Protein w/ fat. Good luck! :-)
