Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 75 calories of those candies per day is what you can have. That includes all "treat." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 They can't just be 'low-carb'... also should be sugar-free. Also, look for a high level of saturated fats. Often, they are 'low-carb', but HIGH in sat. fats. These candies often have sugar alcohol in them, which can cause some gastric distress if consumed in too large of quantities. I think the no-sugar candies are OK in small amounts (for a sweet treat). At least, that is my understanding. But, I wouldn't say to eat them regularly. This is my understanding of it all... but, I am still a newbie! question Does anyone know if the low carb candy is okay on this diet? Like theatkins, Stovers, Hershey's etc.? I asked once but there was noresponce so I am hoping someone new has come along that knows or anexperienced one that didn't recieve the email.Thanks!ette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Quick question the " 75 calories sweet treat. " Where can I find that info in the book? And, I've noticed there are some recipes for things like " mock french toast " that are the same ingredients as my sweet treat yogurt. Why is one not a sweet treat but the other is when they're made out of the same thing? Why couldn't the yogurt just be considered a snack? > 75 calories of those candies per day is what you can have.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Are you talking about a flavored yogurt? Or, are you talking about something different? Here is what is said in the update on yogurt: Phase 2:May introduce artificially sweetened nonfat flavored yogurt, but limit this variety to 4 ounces daily. My understanding is that your yogurt is not a treat, and rather... it would count as a serving of dairy. This is my understanding... but, please, someone else correct me if I am wrong. I count 'treats' as being fudgsicles and those sugar free candies. Here is the Phase 1 list of 'sweet treats': SWEET TREATS (Limit to 75 calories per day) Candies, hard, sugar-free Chocolate powder, no-added-sugar Cocoa powder, baking type Fudgsicles, sugar-free Gelatin, sugar-free Gum, sugar-free Popsicles, sugar-free Sugar substitute I look forward to others' responses, in case I am mistaken! And, I've noticed there are some recipes for things like "mock french toast" that are the same ingredients as my sweet treat yogurt. Why is one not a sweet treat but the other is when they're made out of the same thing? Why couldn't the yogurt just be considered a snack?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 No, talking about Plain low-fat yogurt. I use this instead of ricotta in my dessert. But it's basically the same ingredients as those mock pancakes (without the eggs). So, can I consider it a snack? > Are you talking about a flavored yogurt?

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Many of the Atkins products have the hydrogenated oils in them. We are supposed to avoid those. I also think that I read in the SBD book that we are supposed to avoid the sugar alcohols too; however, my memory could be wrong. It seems that many people have them. question Does anyone know if the low carb candy is okay on this diet? Like theatkins, Stovers, Hershey's etc.?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 I need to lose over 100 pounds. I started out at 292, and would like to eventually get down to 185-175. (I am 5'10 " ) Since it seems like such a daunting task, I am setting up mini-goals. First, I wanted to lose 10% of my body weight, which is 29.2 pounds. I have lost 21 so far, so only 8.2 to go. My next goal is 250 pounds. I will probably take it 25 pounds at a time, so I don't get overwhelemed and quit. CONGRATS on losing 79 pounds!! Did you lose it using SBD? question > I was wondering if there is anyone out there that has over 100 > pounds to lose.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Mini-goals make it seem much easier. I do smaller goals - every five pounds I get myself a little something to make me feel happy.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Terri, Okay, I was just curious if I was the only one on the loop with a lot to lose. Of course I know that 10 pounds is a lot too for some people so I don't belittle that at all. Good luck to you and remember you can do this. Re: question , I do.
