Re: Slimfast ice cream treats

With dairy treats, you aren't necessarily looking for 'sugar free'. Instead, you are looking for 'no sugar added'. I eat Fudgsicle brand no-sugar-added fudgsicles.

What does No Sugar Added mean?

As for the ice cream bars and ice cream sandwiches sweetened with Splenda.... check the fat amount and calories. Calories need to be 75 or less, and fat should be low. My no-sugar-added Tropicana swirls have 2g of fat, and the no sugar added fudgsicles have 1g.

Slimfast "ice cream" treats

I was at the market yesterday, looking for the SF Fudgesicles (no luck), and saw some Fudgesicle type bars (which I've actually tried before, and are quite good), ice cream bars and ice cream sandwiches. I believe they were made with Splenda. Has anyone seen these, and do you know if they are OK for SB? I'm in Phase 1 right now, which should end on Tuesday, but I was thinking of going another week. I'm not hungry at all, don't feel weak....as a matter of fact, I feel better than I have in ages. I didn't have a scale when I started on June 9th, so I don't know what my starting weight was, but it had to be between 162 and 165. I bought a scale and weighed myself on Saturday morning and I weighed 154; I weighed myself this morning (Sunday) and I weighed 151. I even cheated yesterday. I had made some lasagna for my son's birthday on Friday, and yesterday I caved and ate a fairly good sized portion (Bad Betty!). I was going to go back for more a couple of hours later but was able to control myself.

I get no-sugar-added yogurt, and no-sugar-added fudgsicles.

Does this help?

So if it's naturally occurring it would probably be listed as lactose, as opposed to corn syrup, etc.

How many calories? The fat is still high with 8g, and 5g saturated. What is the serving size? I say stick with the no-sugar-added fudgsicles.

I just make my own trail mix with allowable ingredients.

Re: Slimfast "ice cream" treats

has any checked out Pet "Carb Limit" vanilla Ice cream. sweetened with splenda?

ingred: Milkfat and nonfat mild, lacitiol, polydetross, mono and diglycerides, celluose gum, guar gum, Sucralose (splenda brand), carrageenan, artifical flavor.

carb 13g- dietary fiber 4 g, sugars 3 g -sugar alcohol 6g

Its REALLY good, so it probally isnt' legal

Any type of trail mix that is better than another?

sorry for asking so many questions, i just want to get my "legal" list together.

Unless you are only going to eat 1/4 cup... this has too many calories. You are only allowed 75 sweet calories per day. I don't know about you, but if I am going to have a sweet treat, I'd rather have something more than a tiny bit of ice cream!

If you really want ice cream, than look for *lowfat* no-sugar-added ice cream.

Re: Slimfast "ice cream" treats

serving size is 1/2 cup.. 110 calories.

Thanks

Sugar occurs naturally in dairy products. So, you will rarely find sugarfree dairy. Instead, look for no sugar added. Look in the ingredients, and make sure 'sugar' is not an ingredient. Most no-sugar-added dairy will have sugar listed in the nutritional info because it is naturally occurring sugar. You just want to make sure no sugar was added.

It means the makers have not added sugars.

Many foods naturally contain sugars, so sugar is shown as being in the food, but none was added to the product.

Not exactly. If it is naturally occurring, it will not be listed in the ingredients at all. Anything listed in the ingredients (like sugar or corn syrup) is added. The natural sugars show up as sugars in the nutrition info, but not in the ingredients. This is because they occur naturally in the dairy, and dairy will be listed in the ingredients.

To find something that is no-sugar-added.... this will be a product which has sugar listed in nutritional info (for ex. 2g sugar).... but, no sugar listed in ingredients. This means the sugar occurs naturally. This can happen with dairy, tomato products, etc. Naturally occurring sugar is fine for SBD. We need to avoid things with added sugar.

Another example... I have 2 cans of different brands of chopped tomatoes in my pantry. One of them says: 5g sugar per serving, and sugar is listed in ingredients (DH bought) In the other, it says 3g sugar, and no sugar listed in ingredients (I bought).

So, the one that has 3g sugar... this sugar is naturally occurring. The one that has 5g sugar has sugar *added*. So, obviously, we will be eating the one that I bought!
