I have read so much for and against eating diet jello with whip cream during INDUCTION...both I have checked are 0 carbs or less....whats the real scoop...should you or shouldn't you? It really is a treat for my sweet tooth!

I guess each person reacts to aspartame differently. For some people, it causes them to crave more sweet stuff or to stall. If you want to have some, go ahead and eat it.. then gauge your progress..

Aspartame is the last thing I worry about. The only sweeteners I worry about are the sugar alcohols... they cause me a bit of "stomach trouble" to be delicate....

I do my best losing when I use the sf Jello as my bedtime snack. I get the "full" feeling without going to sleep with a real bellyfull of calories.

I ate jello with whipped cream during induction. Had no problem with it.

Here is a simple recipe --

1 packet Unsweetened Kool Aid
8 cups Water
1/2 tsp Stevia Extract Powder [or 1/2 cup Splenda Granular]
1/8 tsp Stevia Extract Powder [or 2 tbsp Splenda Granular]*
4 Envelopes Knox Unflavored Gelatin

1) Pour Water into a 2 Quart/Liter Jug.
2) Add Unsweetened Kool Aid and Stir.
3) Add 1/2 tsp Stevia Extract Powder and Stir until dissolved.
4) Place in Refrigerator and let get cold.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Heat 3 cups of the liquid [from steps 1-4] to boiling.
6) In a large bowl, Sprinkle Gelatin over 1 cup of cold liquid [from steps 1-4].
7) Let stand 1 minute and add Heated liquid [from step 5]
8) Stir until completely dissolved.
9) Stir in 1/8 tsp Stevia [or 2 tbsp Splenda]*
10) Put in Refrigerator and let harden.

*Optional.

I ate jello and plain whipping cream unwhipped during induction and didn't have a problem, after a while I didn't crave sweets at all. Didn't create a problem for me.

for convenience, you can get the Jolly Rancher SF jello cups with NO ASPARETEME!!!!

Hi....I went to Krogers...and there they were...YUM...a little more sweeter than the jello, but I think this will take care of the sweet tooth. Thanks!

IMO....better to eat SF jello than blow it by eating something worse. I have been known to appease my sweet tooth by eating more than one "serving" of SF jello if required (GASP!!!).

This has saved me from eating other sugar laden treats which would have caused way more damage than some aspartame could.....


Froufie

Yeah there are many more evil things than sugar free jello to eat...
