Sugar free foods are not necessarily good for you, diabetic or not.
I'm type 2 and was told to stay away from sugar free products.
They are chemicals in most cases and not natural. I use powdered
fructose for sweeting, don't have to use nearly as much to get
the same result. Its better to have the natural in small doses and not everyday. Easy on thered meats too. Go with chicken and fish. I eat so much chicken in a week I'm surprised I don't lay an egg. Also switching to turkeybacon is so much better (and I prefer its taste over real bacon), we use Butterball brand. The mediterranean diet is a good one to use too.
