You would use grade B maple syrup. I guess it is less processed and is not as simple a carbohydrate as table sugar or grade A maple syrup. I believe you could also use Blue Agave which is also low on the glyemic index rating.
Also I started eating 1/4 -1/2 of a ripe organic labeled lemon after it was just suggested on this list. It is delicious but I am concerned that it is too acidic for my tooth enamel. Anybody? Also I am not positive that is why but it seems to have supressed both my appetite and cravings.
