Question Sugar free pickles



Hi everyone. I'm a newbie and the first time on the "big board". I was wondering if sugar free bread and butter pickles are legal? The brand that I found is by Mt. Olive and the jar states that has has 0 carbs and 0 sugar. It is sweetened with sucralose Splenda brand. At least that is how it lists it on the jar.
What do you all think?
Thanks.

Welcome to the big board!

Thos pickles sound fine to me. The only thing to watch out for with pickles is sodium. Other than that, go for it. Do remember that it's probably not really 0g, since cucumbers have a bit of carb, but a few here and there definitely shouldn't kill you.

Nice to see more brands using Splenda!

Default Hello

I had these pickles when i was at my moms house...they were really good caused no weight increase or cravings. So the get the legal thumbs up from me. I agree with Skamito I would count at least 1 carb per serving to account for the cucumbers.

And their so good try not to eat half a jar at one sitting

Thanks for the replies.
I know what you mean about not eating the whole jar--they are sooo good and I was also glad to see they had Splenda in them because I thought that would make them legal.
Yeah!

Thanks Mammoth, that is very encouraging! Congrats on your weight loss
I was so glad to find these pickles and actually bought them without having the diet on my mind and then I read the label. Whoot! Whoot! Yeah for Splenda pickles!
