Hi Barb!

Watch out for the Tic Tacs and the sugar free gum; they both contain carbs which must be counted in your daily allowance if you use them. Tic Tacs are also definitely not sugar free. Check the carb counts of anything labeled "sugar free" carefully. FDA laws allow any manufacturer to label a product "sugar free" as long as it does not contain refined sugar, but it can contain sucrose, fructose and honey (which are all sugars). Low carb candies are an iffy thing. Some people can eat them without a problem (I can), but many report that the low carb bars, shakes and candies cause them to stall or loose very slowly. If you do decide to use them, but find that you are losing very slowly or not at all, those are the first things you should eliminate from your food list. I also would not use them on induction at all. If it seems like you are always snacking, you might want to examine why. Are you are really eating because you are hungry or for some other reason (stressed, bored, habit, etc...)?
