I went to my local Grocery Store this morning & Thankfully there it was on the shelf "Swiss Miss Sensible Sweets" 24 Calories & 3 Net Carbs, 8pks for $2.19 !!

There price on~line was $4.95 plus S&H so that made me very happy & I bought 3 boxe's while they had them in stock !!

It has as much Calcium & Vitamin D as an 8oz Glass of Milk, 99.9 Caffeine Free & a Natural Source of Antioxidants !!

Do these have sugar alcohols? Aspertame? I doubt that these are advisable on induction/OWL.

Here's the low down:

Swiss Miss Sensible Sweets Diet Cocoa has only 25 calories and as much calcium & vitamin D as an 8oz glass of milk! 8 -.29oz envelopes
Net Wt 2.32 oz

fat 0g, sodium 160mg, total carbohydrate 4g, dietary fiber 1g, sugars 2g, protein 2g.

Ingredients: Nonfat milk, cocoa, calcium carbonate, modified whey, salt, natural and artificial flavors, carrageenan, acseulfame potassium, sucralose, disodium phosphate, vitamin D3.

Nonfat milk is not allowed on induction and not recommended at all (that's where the 2g of sugars come from).

I don't use the sweetener, acseulfame potassium (Sweet One) and a lot of grocery stores have pulled it from the shelf.

Several potential problems associated with the use of acesulfame have been raised. They are based largely on animal studies since testing on humans remains limited. The findings showed the following:

Acesulfame K has been shown to stimulate insulin secretion in rats in a dose-dependent fashion thereby possibly aggravating reactive hypoglycemia ("low blood sugar attacks").[7]

Actually, this is not a bad product for those in OWL 2 (dairy) and beyond. Those folks may enjoy a cup of cocoa every now and again now that a lot of us are heading into the colder months.

Sunny, that's very interesting about the AceK. It is in so many products nowadays especially packaged low-carb products. Personally, once in the dairy rung (or beyond), I would make homemade cocoa but for those who eat packaged foods, this one looks acceptable.

Was I reading it wrong or is she on Rung 9? I think she's earned the right to have a treat every now and then

I didn't say that she hasn't, but this was posted in a forum where any newbie can read it. I think it is OK to discuss its suitability for induction/OWL is it not?
