[zurgswife]

OK....I'm having some really bad cravings......which is worse

More then one serving of No carb "junk food" a root beer float...diet root beer and cream (YUMMYYYYY)

Or 5 or 6 Mini reese cups hundreds of carbs.....

Some times get over the hump for me requires no carb "junk food"...

 

[geetey]

[kamgen]

Our WW leader said today if you are going to have a "treat" to make sure its something that will satisfy you. If you are still going to be craving something sweet afterwards then choose something else. Her example was "Mike & Ike's" candy (not sure what that is) but she said if you had that but it wasn't satisfying then better to spend a few more points and have something that will satisfy the craving. I hope that makes sense.

 

[dizneegirl]

Well, the fat in the cream will probably help you lose the craving, not to mention the root beer float is MUCH better for you than the sugar-loaded peanut butter cups.

The float would even be a better choice than the sugar-free peanut butter cups.

You're kidding!! (Are you kidding? You wouldn't be that cruel, would you, John?) Are they really good? I'll have to find these. Reeses PB Cups are my all-time favorite candy.

Not kidding, and they also have SF Hershey's Chocolate, SF Hershey's Chocolate w/ almonds, SF Hershey's Dark Chocolate, and SF Nestle Turtles

The Turtles are ALSO delicious!!

I got so excited about the mention of Sugar Free Reese PB Cups that I had to go to Hersheys.com to check it out. I'm afraid I have sad news about them for WWs.

1 serving (5 pieces) has 170 calories and 12 grams of fat, vs. 210 calories and 12g fat for the regular ones. So the SF ones are 4 points/serving, regular are 5 points/serving. Phooey.

The Atkins gang makes out much better on this deal. Sugar Free has 23g Carbs, 19g from Lactitol (that's a good kind, right?). Regular has 22g Carbs.

TURTLES!!!!

You gotta quit talking dirty to me!

How is this OKAY for Atkins...and what is Lactitol???? Maybe John can lend his knowledge???

Thanks Tracy

 

[John In Illinois]

Lactitol is a new type of Sugar Alcohol sweetener that does not have an effect on a lot of people doing Atkins, so those of us lucky ones do not need to count them against our total. For example, I can eat 5 Mini Reece's and only have an Effective Carb count of 3 Grams!!!



Sorry Kathy, forgot that you are not an "Atkinser" lol

 

[Luvinit]

Okay...so how do I find out if I am one of the "lucky" ones???

***oh God...please tell me the answer to that question is to go buy a bag of choclates and test them out****

I am sure it I am chowing on these things...I won't be losing any weight though right?

Actually Tracy, that is EXACTLY how you find out, eat a FEW (LOL) and see if you stay in Ketosis, if you do....then Sugar Alcohol is your buddy!!!

No problem, John! I'll think of you when I'm enjoying a tortilla later!
