Have you tried Splenda? Eliminating salt for me has not been a big deal but
if you like sugar, that will be a tougher challenge, IMO. Splenda is bland
on flavor, but does add sweetness. Perhaps you can find a molasses flavor
to give it the brown sugar flavor you like. I read someplace that chicory
can give a molasses flavor. Maybe some other flavor will come close. There
are a bunch at http://www.davincigourmet.com/page.php?page=760

Good luck and good health
