Can anyone suggest an "acceptable" soup that I might try that would not have to many carbs and sodium, etc.? Or are there no (canned) soups available for people watching their carbs, etc.? I know many of you have mentioned you make your own soups, but I am afraid I am not that adventurous.

Also, could someone possibly suggest a cookie that you are using or have used?

I've looked at some of the 'sugar-free' cookies in the supermarket and notice that they contain 16G of carbs.

I was looking for something to substitute (every other day, etc.) for the grapefruit I now have with my decaf (as a snack).

Thanks.

I don't have suggestions for either because we don't eat prepared soup and I don't eat cookies. However, you would need to look at the labels of these products, all products actually. Look at total carbs. And be careful about sodium in the soups, too. Even if cookies or other snacks are sugar-free, they still have flour and the flour will raise blood sugar, so, again, if you examine the packages and find some cookies with the lowest total carb content, then plan to eat just one. And eat some nuts or cheese with it as a snack to help draw out the blood sugar spike - that might work. Testing is important when you eat new food but you already know that!
