Hello everybody...

Our friends finally called to ask for some help! They are going to try a combo low calorie/low carb type of diet of their own making. Eventually, I hope they go for low carb totally. They are a meat and potatoes couple and the hubby doesn't like a lot of veggies. She said they lose weight when we come to town and they have to try something!

I need some ideas for drinks for her. She would like something in addition to water. They are heavy drinkers of Pepsi but can't go to Diet Pepsi as she gets migraine headaches from aspartame, so the soda drinks are out as are the "Clear" drinks from Safeway.

Has anyone tried the Light Cranberry Cocktail drink from Safeway? It's only 17 calories and 4 g of carb per cup. We use 1/2 cup and add "Clear" to it. Too strong on it's own and it has no aspartame in it.

Any ideas? I did suggest Koolaid made with Splenda........ (I'm such a help!)
