Hi,
Hope all is going well for you. I use stevia every day and have no carb cravings, except a little at TOM. I use the natural powder and not the extracts, but have heard that stevia is ok in the extracts too.
To up your veggies, without upping your work, just buy the frozen mixed veggies. It only takes a few minutes to steam them or stir fry and is easy, easy! Just try to get a mix without carrots, peas or corn. The japanese mix is usually good, with green beans, onion, mushroom, and water chessnut. Add a little onion or garlic powder and herbs, and there you go. Sometimes I pan fry steak or porkchops and then put defrosted veggies in the pan with the meat juices. It is really good. Or steam them and add a touch of butter and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Mmmm. Or have a veggie/cheese omelet! All these things are really quick and satisfying. If you fill up on veggies, then you probably won't want desserts.
Good luck to you,
deb
