gum/whipped cream

[elherts]

Is there a brand of gum you can chew, because my breath is nasty!

And, what does the book mean by whipped cream? The kind in the can only has one gram of carbs.

Gum can kind of be a tricky area.
I choose not to chew it because it reminds me too much of candy, and I don't want to trigger the sugar monster, so I carry around a small bottle of mouthwash that I use a few times a day. I've also used the breath strips because they are super powerful and don't remind me of candy in any way shape or form :yikes

If you do choose to chew gum, I believe Orbit is sweetened with Splenda, and Blitz mints are as well (I think..I'm not 100% positive).
One or two sticks of the other sf gums won't have a gigantic effect on your progress, but just watch to see if they trigger cravings, and of course, count them as 1 of your sweetener allowances.


The whipped cream in the book is heavy whipping cream that you whip yourself. The canned stuff frequently has sugar added to it, so read your label carefully.

Remember, just because a package or can shows a low carb count doesn't mean it's Induction or Atkins friendly, so always compare the label to the Acceptable Foods list. :yes

It has been my experience that if you do not drink enough water, your breath is worse. Try and add more water.

Cinnamon flavored Trident is also sweetened with splenda
