A jello warning for Atkins followers.

[wdwnutze]

I eat sf jello daily and I prefer the already made kind. Today I was in the grocery store(Shaws) to replenish my supply and I noticed that they have a store brand of sf jello. Being money conscious I decided that I would go with the store brand. I checked the back of the package and it had 2 carbs in each serving. I'm glad I looked on the back because I normally would have just assumed it had no carbs. I guess it always pays to double check.

Excellent reminder. I bought the Jolly Rancher brand because they were yummy but they have <b>3</b> grams of carbs per serving. They don't taste <i>that</i> good.

I'll stick with Jello brand, I can trust them, although I always double check the label to be safe.

I looked at these in the grocery store, and I didn't buy any because they contain aspartame. I thought we could not consume aspartame while on Atkins?

Aspartame can cause people who are sensitive to lose more slowly. I never gave up aspartame and neither did my husband.

It is a personal decision, I suppose. We have not eliminated Aspartame nor caffeine from our diets and so far so good.

HMMM.........good to know thanks Katholyn! I thought it was an absolute no-no

Well, if Dr. Atkins was still with us he would probably be frowning at me right now

On the other hand, he might also say to do "whatever it takes to succeed"

Right now,I eat it everyday. I'm sure at some point I'll get wicked sick of it and move on to something else!!!

Aspartame is also not good for people who get migraines.

Thanks for the heads up! I am sure I would have thought the store brand had no carbs as well!!

Great reminder!
