    Is this OK to have for a snack!!!

    I was wondering if Sugar Free Jello is ok for a snack while in the 14day Induction? It shows zero carbs O Sugars. It has asparatme and acesufame potassium as sweetners. HMMMMMM

      Aspartame is a staller for quite a few people, which is why Dr. Atkins told us to avoid it whenever possible. You can make your own jelly with unflavored gelatin, a legal sweetener and some flavor of your choice.

          Something else. Try to eat only when hungry or when 6 hours have passed since your last meal. Don't eat something just because it's zero carbs and avoid mindless snacking. It could be just me, but when I'm hungry I feel more satisfied eating some protein & fat with a few veggies rather than jelly.

              wow, thanks for the tip. I had a feeling This was one of those sugar free items I was going to have to watch out for. I should have asked yesterday before I went out and bought a pack. O-well I will pass them to someone else!! HEEHEE

                  When you say flavor of my choice are you speaking of an extract of some sort?

                      Also, the Hunts singles are made with Splenda...they have a carb or two but it also helps me with portion control!!

                          Yes. I never made sweet jelly, but I imagine you could use vanilla essence, orange or lemon extract, lemon juice, etc.
