Technically you can use as long as its calculated in right. But there

are brands without sugar - like Kraft No Sugar Added peanut butter.

I disagree

Or maybe when the diet says NO SUGAR--I took it literally for the past 31

months

I know some have " cheated " with the bugels, and gold fish crackers--but not

in the beginning--I don't believe

But --- NO SUGAR means NO SUGAR

My daughter has been " deprived " of sugar

Skippy has a NO SUGAR added peanut butter--don't you think that is what is

supposed to be used????

I buy only sugar-free--and my daughter loves it

OR AM I THE ONLY ONE---BUYING ALL NO SUGAR FOODS????

Thank-you

Where is your Keto center?

With all the literature and research, we use absolutely NO SUGAR

We use peanut butter, but NO SUGAR added

Sugar is sugar

Carbs are different--

glycemic index foods--do cause blood glucoses to rise--not to be

elliminated-just used in limited quantities

BUT---I agree if it is working for you--go for it

And I am not saying you are wrong

Please no hard feelings

I have found every one does the diet a little different

BUT--I still cannot agree with the Sugar issue--and the " a carb is a carb "

issue

NO SUGAR!!!!

Please any other views on this???

Before we started the diet, I had only heard and read " no sugar " , as

well. I'm sure it's in Dr. Freeman's book, but I couldn't put my

finger on it just now. Also, on the video from The Charlie

Foundation, Dr. Freeman says " no sugar " . Just like you, Sandi, I

took that literally and was geared up for a totally no sugar diet. I

even took it one step farther and ASSUMED that any carb. with high

glycemic index would be a no-no. About a week before we started, I

downloaded the Stanford Planner and was playing with it. On the

sample menu page was " Peanut Butter, Skippy, creamy " . Pan and

Jif are also in the food list. Couldn't believe it! So I e-mailed

the dietician and she said yes, that was allowed. She said we would

talk about that in depth when we initiated the diet... and we did.

She said that on the diet, a carb is a carb -- doesn't matter. To

clarify, I asked , " So glycemic index plays no role in this diet? "

Her answer was , " No " . Our eggnog that we made in the hospital even

had a few g. of table sugar in the recipe. HOWEVER, the caveat is...

since keto kids get so few carbs on the diet, it is certainly best to

steer away from sugar and other " empty " carbs and use veggies

instead. If you used the whole carb allowance on sugar, crackers and

bugles, you would not be doing your child any nutritional favors.

I agree with whoever mentioned the partially hydrogenated fat

(Rhonda?) issue. I called and was told that the trans fat was 2g.

per serving. We use about 3/4 of a serving in each meal so I decided

I could live with 2g. of trans fat in this case. I figure there are

always trade-offs and I was willing to accept this one, because

basically, peanut butter is a a " real " and healthy food. Trans fats

in junk or fake foods are not acceptable to me, especially now. I

haven't even bought margarine in years because of the hydrogenated

fat. I use a lot of olive oil and some real butter when necessary

for flavor or texture.

So, we do use Skippy peanut butter because our daughter loves the

super crunch kind with bigger pieces of peanuts . I mix it with

butter (I do this ahead of time because she likes it chilled better

than soft) and add fresh fruit on the side (apple, pear, grapes) and

her cream/oil mixture. Just the other day I found fruit spread (jam)

in a jar. It has no added sugar, only the natural sugar from the

fruit. She loves it... and we will use it for a treat. Popcorn is

also a treat meal for her -- served with lots of butter. That turns

the tables and makes me jealous!! We are also allowed to use sugar

free popsicles.

It would be interesting to hear what others are doing with sugar.

Maybe we are the only ones who get to use some.... but since our

dietician told us O.K., I'm doing it--sparingly, though. We've had

no problems, only success. No seizures, completely off meds.

Pete it was not about P.B.

It is a good food for a variety and makes good muffins too

But with any food, every child is different

We were discussing " sugar "

Any thoughts on this?

Sorry, you thought we were having so many " posts " about P.B.

I know I do not have the time to " discuss " one food

First of all, why is the need for peanutbutter so important??

We made a meal with peanutbutter (Jiff I think), only to have

problems. We calculated it correctly and measured correctly. But it

seems that peanutbutter is not the right thing for Logan just yet.

There are many other foods to make meals out of. Peanutbutter is not

a food we absolutely " need " to use.

I specifically asked my dietician about it after I saw it in the

planner.... she said it is regular old Skippy and it is fine to use

it. We go to a medical center in California. The dieticians

(actually, I think its the whole team) from several hospitals

collaborate and one of them in the group is Stanford. That's why we

were encouraged to use the Stanford Planner. My Skippy label

matches the values in the planner and it does have sugar. Also,

whoever created the planner (God Bless Them!!!!) has been very

specific with regard to brand names and descriptions. I can't

imagine that it wouldn't say " no sugar " if that's what the values

were for.

Sugars are carbohydrates. They have simple biochemical structures

and can be broken down very quickly by the body. Vegetables and

starches are carbs. with complex biochemical structures. It takes

the body longer to utilize them for energy. Fiber is also

carbohydrate and it's structure is so complex that it basically can't

be broken down so it passes through the body virtually unabsorbed.

Table sugar is the standard for setting " glycemic index " of a

carbohydrate food. A food's ability to quickly raise blood sugar is

compared to that of table sugar. Table sugar is given an arbitrary

value of 100 and all other foods are compared to it. The higher the

number, the quicker the food causes a blood sugar response in the

body.

I think this discussion is really interesting...no hard feelings at

all on my part. I really hope others will join in and let us know if

they do or don't use sugars and why. Like I said, I was prepared to

use no sugars or high glycemic index foods at all. I don't think you

are in error by not using sugars. They certainly aren't needed.

I would say that the only value in them is that they are a " treat "

and I think, once in a while, our kids need that, if it's possible.

In fact, if you were told not to use sugars by your keto team, then I

admire you for following their directions.

I also wanted to respond the the original question from Mommo about

her granddaughter. I had the same question when I first looked at

the planner and saw the Skippy PB on it. Mammo didn't say if they

were specifically told not to use any sugar. I was confused, too

until I clarified it with our dietician.

Amen!!

If pb causes problems, don't use it. This thread started with a

question about peanut butter but I think we've digressed. The real

issue seems to be whether or not it's ok to use sugars on the diet.

Obviously, there's some difference of opinion between our keto teams,

which is probably a good thing. Like everything about this diet, we

have to find and do what seems to work for us. I'm finding the

discussion very interesting, though. Thanks for asking the question,

Mammo!

Isn't the Stanford planner kind of old now? Did they have different

varieties of PB back then? Today there are so many low fat, low sugar

varieties that it pays to check labels.

My son is diabetic, so he isn't supposed to do sugar for slightly

different reasons then the KGD. He must keep his blood sugar regulated.

On the KGD, we have to keep ketones steady. This may be difficult with

too much sugar. But I agree that the main reason is poor nutrition. The

second reason would be loss of seizure control and breakthrough seizures.
