Answers:
Watch out for anything marked sugar free (especially the cookies) They have lots of carbs!. Stick to veggies, or my favorite!.!.!.a lettuce leaf with a slice of Virginia bake ham and the salad spritzer!. Va baked ham is 97% fat free, and has no carbs and this is a great snack!. Sugar free jello is ok, but tastes horrible!. Sugar free pudding also has carbs!. A good thing to snack on (it has some carbs but is a good carb) the mozzarella cheese snacks!. They are individually wrapped!. Get the ones made out of the low fat cheese!. They are called cheese sticks and you can find them in the cheese section!. Dill pickles are great, and after eating one, something sweet does not sound too good!. I eat a lot of them!. A few olives are also good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I get thumbed for this all the time, because other than the salad, these are not particularly healthy food choices, but with a diabetic child, I pick my battles!. When she's hungry but it has to be carb free, the following items satisfy her!.

Free stuff:
hot dogs, ham, turkey, bacon (most cold cuts), cheese, salad (no crutons, and attention to dressing choices)
Crystal light, caffeine free diet soda

caffeine free is important, especially if the reason you're going carb-free is high blood sugar, because drinks with caffeine negate hydration!.

P!.S!. sugar free cookies aren't carb free!. In fact, most sugar free stuff isn't!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nuts (peanuts, cashews, walnuts, etc!.), peanut butter, hard boiled eggs, cheese, etc!. Look for thing high in protein!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Interestingly a can of sardines is less than 5 grams of carbs!.

I also like unsalted nuts!.
