Hi Nicole,

Congrats on your first two weeks... I know the temptation can be tough when you are sick, but good on you for resisting!

I've been on the fructose free journey since Boxing Day. When I first started out, I let myself eat anything I wanted that wasn't sugar-loaded - party pies, sausage rolls etc. I did this because I wanted to avoid feeling like I was depriving myself... I did that for a couple of weeks and then felt ready to let go of my security blanket.

So now for snacks, I have a couple of options - cheese and saladas, carrot sticks with hommus or almonds. Milk is another "snack" I like - good combo of protein, carbs and fat.

Hope that helps and good luck with your fructose free mission!

Steph.

Hi Nicole,

I've been fructose free for almost 6 weeks now.

Often I can go from one meal to the next without snacking (could not do that when I used to eat sugar) but if I feel like a snack I'll have crackers with cheese, nuts, popcorn (with butter & salt), plain potato crisps or even some fruit like a small bunch of grapes or an apple. I don't eat a lot of fruit but sometimes its nice.

For a treat I made some chocolate icy poles (recipe is on the website) and they were great. Delicious but quite rich so I didn't feel like 'pigging out' on them.

Good luck with your fructose-free journey :-)
