Re: HELP! There's a brownie calling my name!
DON'T EAT THE BROWNIE!
Are you on induction? If so, that headache is called induction flu, and it's simply your body going through withdrawal from carbs. To eat more carbs now is to prolong the withdrawal process.
Drink some water, go for a walk, read a book, get your mind off the brownie. YOU CAN DO IT!

Yes, I'm on Induction. Can I eat sugar free Jello?? I have some of that in the fridge. The Fruity Pebbles are now calling me.....How about a couple of packets of Splenda straight?185/164/135

awww, LOL bless your heart!
We got rid of all the "naughty" stuff in our house prior to starting Tuesday. Our son has type 1 diabetes and doesn't eat that anyway. I feel for ya though!
Be strong!!
P.S. I think you can have a s/f jello with a couple tablespoons of real whipped cream, but it counts towards your carb intake (ie: the artificial sweetner and the cream is 1 I believe)Comment

Take that brownie and throw it out the window...as well with the fruity pebbles ( my favvvv cerial ) your headache is most likely induction flu, that means its working!! Its a good headache...stay away from the brownie
You'll feel better in a day or so!

Well done
As for s/f jello - make sure it isnt sweetened with aspartame or another not allowed sweetened (the allowed list details which ones we ARE allowed) and stick to your 3 servings in total of allowed sweetener.
But many of us managed to kill our sugar monster by starving it out on induction and eating no sweetend food at all.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
