Atkins ?? need answer

[pajammatam]

OK I have tried to find the answer with no luck. Can we have sf jello on induction? It's been a while and while i fell off the wagon for a while I found that i needed to get back on, and found that the jello really is a life saver.


HELP!!!!!


Thanks Tammie

Yes, try mixing the rasberry with 1 cup of diet rasberry snapple instead of the cold water...it is wonderful.

There are many great sf jello recipes in the atkins book.

Yes you can - but I am going to provide a caution to you. Some people really react to aspartame and sugar free jello is loaded with aspartame.

Two results of a reaction - it can "trigger" cravings and cause you to then over eat on other things and some people actually get an insulin response to the "sweet" of aspartame. It's like their body thinks they have just taken in a spoonful of sugar.

Another hazard of sugar free jello is that folks tend to over do it and add LOTS and LOTS of whipped cream to it and go way over the limit of 2 to 3 TBS of heavy cream a day. (there is a problem in DANDR they have 2 to 3 ounces in several sections of the book and later say it is 2 to 3 TBS - called the Atkins Center and they say it should have been TBS throughout the book).

So yes you can have it but you should proceed cautiously and see how you personally do with it. For many it is NO PROBLEM and is a great snack.
