Hi, Jo, yes I do remember someone last year was pregnant and doing low fructose. Suzanne is correct though, the dextrose treats are supposed to be just that, treats, not for the everyday.
Shop for your plan, make sure you have plenty things in your freezer, eat more protein, lean beef, and lamb, and chicken & eggs, cut out the processed deli meats, try to eat 'clean', lots of veggies, and now it's summer, salads, if you like salads, (I don't!) Sure, bake your treats, but freeze them in individual servings, snack on nuts, almonds are ok, buy some organic cocoa, or cacao. for a sweet yummy milky drink. Cut back on simple carbs read through Mark's Daily Apple and Sarah Wilson's Blog for yummy healthy recipes for all meals and snacks, Sarah is Gluten free, and low fructose, she has some really yummy sounding recipes on her site.
You can make your own almond milk, almond meal almond butter, in fact any nuts can be made into nut butter etc. There is a great recipe for flax seed bread in Mark's Daily Apple, so you don't have to eat wheat. Make sure you've got some frozen veggies on hand, in case the fresh ones run down, so you can have a chicken breast with a heap of either salad or cooked veg, Fry the chicken in coconut oil with a little butter, when finished, add a little cream to the pan and swirl around for a lovely sauce.
I also grate a little hard cheddar over my veggies. All in all, a great lunch. Try not to eat between meals, have one piece of fruit after lunch, and the other after dinner. I always have my cocoa milky drink late at might, it helps me sleep. Use Calorie King to watch those calories, the evidence of people on here using CK is good.
I wish you well, Jo, keep us in the loop, we love to encourage people. The pregnant person may have been over on the Sweet Poison forum, so post your question there too.
Bye
