Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 I just finished eating an orange/vanilla one. OH MY GOODNESS>>> it was delicious. Tasted just like a dreamsicle! And, completely within our daily 75 calories for sweet treats. Believe me, this bar was WORTH the 60 calories. Oh - I'm getting these tomorrow. We call this a creamsicle here - is that what you meant?

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 I meant to also say that right beside this new Tropicana treat was Atkins "Carb Indulgence" chocolate bars (or something like that). I looked on the back of the box.... **12g** of fat!!!! Good grief. Unreal. I hate the new 'low carb' marketing. It really is misleading, since so much of that food is full of BAD BAD fat. I also saw this and was astounded that people are buying this item.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 They have 3g sugar (occuring naturally in dairy), 3g sugar alcohol (sucralose = Splenda). Exact same as the "No Sugar Added Fudgsicles" that are recommended for SBD. Sucralose (Splenda) is the sweetener used. With only have 1 bar per day (that would be your sweet for the day, since they are 60 calories)... I am sure it is fine. I'm sure it is too but I knwo diabetics aer told to stay away from anything which has sugar alcohol, ends in 'ose or 'ol cause this is like eating sugar. Of course we can have a small amount of this and it won't affect us healthwise like a diabetic. ~~ in NJ~~ So Many Books, So Little Time Currently Reading:Price of Lost Places by Kathy Hepinstall Next Read:The Mists of Avalon by n Zimmer Bradley Just Finished: The Other Boleyn Girl by a ( The Swalllows of Kabul by Yasmina Khadra (A) September by munde Pilcher (A) Fear of Frying by Jill Churchill ( The South Beach Diet Book By Arthur Agastson (B+) 3rd Degree by © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 One more thing... Tropicana makes a swirls version that is full of sugar. The 'No Sugar Added' one is new. So, just be sure you look closely at the box! This is the first time I have ever seen them. I found them at a grocery store called Publix. I am going to try the raspberry one today.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Why do you need to wait? They are the same as the no-sugar-added fudgsicles, which I ate during Phase 1. In fact, no-sugar-added fudgsicles are on the 'official Phase 1 shopping list' for SBD. The Tropicana Swirls No-Sugar-Added are basically the same thing. They have the *exact* same sugar and sugar alcohol as the No-Sugar-Added fudgsicles. And, just a few more calories (60 vs. 45). But, still under the 75 calorie allowance. But this is ice cream and I thought thats a no no. ~~ in NJ~~ So Many Books, So Little Time Currently Reading:Price of Lost Places by Kathy Hepinstall Next Read:The Mists of Avalon by n Zimmer Bradley Just Finished: The Other Boleyn Girl by a ( The Swalllows of Kabul by Yasmina Khadra (A) September by munde Pilcher (A) Fear of Frying by Jill Churchill ( The South Beach Diet Book By Arthur Agastson (B+) 3rd Degree by © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 So, diabetics can't use Splenda, or have products sweetened with Splenda? Just curious. I know that diabetics use this but now I'm wondering if its really ok. You would be shocked what the ADA says is alright for diabetics to eat. I seriously think they are paid off by food companies. ~~ in NJ~~ So Many Books, So Little Time Currently Reading:Price of Lost Places by Kathy Hepinstall Next Read:The Mists of Avalon by n Zimmer Bradley Just Finished: The Other Boleyn Girl by a ( The Swalllows of Kabul by Yasmina Khadra (A) September by munde Pilcher (A) Fear of Frying by Jill Churchill ( The South Beach Diet Book By Arthur Agastson (B+) 3rd Degree by © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 But this is ice cream and I thought thats a no no. ~~ in NJ~~ >>> I don't know.. maybe someone else can weigh in on this. Because, I think fudgsicles are just as much ice cream as the creamsicles are. Maybe not? I think of fudgsicles as being like chocolate ice cream on a stick. ) I'd be interested to hear what someone else thought, though. I would think, if fudgsicles are OK, these would be, too. But, certainly... if there is any doubt, save them for Phase 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 IMO diabetic eating plans are somewhat based on the Glycemic Index, but the authors just don't mention it. Some are very, very similar to SBD. Agatston mentiones this Glycemic Index in his book and most deaibetes books also mention this. Diabetics are supposed to compre everything to a piece of white bread which has a GI of 100. Then they should try and eat foods on the lower end of the scale. ~~ in NJ~~ So Many Books, So Little Time Currently Reading:The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy Just Finished:Prince of Lost Places by Kathy Hepinstall (A-) The Other Boleyn Girl by a ( The Swalllows of Kabul by Yasmina Khadra (A) September by munde Pilcher (A) Fear of Frying by Jill Churchill ( The South Beach Diet Book By Arthur Agastson (B+) 3rd Degree by © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
