Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me if Jell-o sugar free pudding is available in Australia? A lot of low carb dessert recipes call for it and I'd love to get my hands on some.

While on the topic, does anyone have a recipe for a white chocolate cheesecake - or anything containing white chocolate? Craving it badly!

Thanks

Hi Melbgal,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've never seen any Jell-o products here in Oz.

As for the white chocolate, I think you might have to channel your thoughts elsewhere. We don't have freely available unsweetened brown chocolate, so I don't like your chances with the white.

Sorry.

If it helps, you'll see that the folk here who are most successful with their weight loss, are the ones who pretty much concentrate on fresh meat, fish, vegies etc.

Hi Rosebud,

Thought the Jell-o might be a long shot. Hoping Aeroplane, Cottees etc make a similar product. The sugar-free Cottees jelly is good. There's a recipe on carb-lite for a white chocolate cheesecake, but unfortunately it calls for the Jell-o sugar free pudding.

Re. unsweetened chocolate, Cadbury Lite (I know, I know, it contains aspartame) and Darrell Lea sugar free are readily available, and I have found that many health food stores carry unsweetened chocolate. Just fishing around to see if anyone has brought out a low carb white one yet.

As for meat, fish, vegies etc. that is all very good 90% of the time, but for those of us with a sweet tooth we do need a sweet treat every now and then to keep us on track. I've had much success in the time that I've been doing Atkins, but that won't continue if I have to deprive myself of sweet things.

Cheers.

Hi Melbgal,
Have you tried any of the recipies in the back of the New Atkins Diet Revolution book?
I have recently restarted Atkins and am still in induction so I have not tried any yet. I have however purchased some Atkins Maple syrup which is in the Maple & Mustard glazed salmon. Very Yummy.
I also bought some Double D sugar/carb free lollies for a recent car trip. They are sweetened with splenda and are .

With the Aussie $ getting stronger against the US$ I have just ordered some Atkins products online. Works out alot cheaper than buying them at GNC.

See Ya

Hi Melbgal,
There is a Cavalier brand white "no added sugar" Belgium chocolate available. I saw it in David Jones and tonight I saw another brand at Foodland.(think it was Perlger?) It does however have 7.9G of carbohydrate per serve(4 small pieces) 6.7g polyols,1.2g sugars,and 1.2g lactose. It lists Malitol as the sweetener. I guess if you have to have some for your sweet tooth it is better than ordinary, but I find those sorts of things get me off low carb track and hard to get back on. However we are all different. If you want me to find out the details of the one at Foodland just give a "yell" to the list,

Cheers Lyn
