Cadbury Highlights???

[beentheredonethat]

Hi Everyone,

I haven't posted in a while, but I have been checking in to see how everyone has been doing. It's been a bit quiet, but I guess that's because the Christmas rush is now on. Can't believe it's only 2 weeks.

The last time posted I wasn't sure whether I would give CD another go or not. I have decided to leave it until January now anyway as there is too much on between now and then.

One question I had was about Cadbury Highlights. I love this and it is only 40 calories for an 11g serving with 200ml of hot water (basically a nice mug of it). If I get hungry in the evening (as I stop eating after 7pm, might get a bit peckish around 10pm) this fills me up & it helps me sleep at night and I was wondering if I would be able to have 2 CD packs during the day and this at night to help me sleep?

Seeing as it's onlny 40 calories it is about a third of the calories of a CD pack. I know it doesn't have the same nutritional value but as I said it does help me sleep.

What do you guys think????

Thanks for your help.

Though the calories are low, the carb content is relatively high, so it could knock you out of ketosis. A choc tetra is nicer anyway Maybe 1/3-1/2 of one of them if you are desperate?

Actually, looking again, a 1/3 tetra is about equal in carbs.

Still...I wouldn't risk it in case there is something else in it that isn't allowed

Thank you, I didn't even think of the "knocking out of ketosis" bit, I just thought hmmmmmmm 40 cal that should be ok.

Hi
Have you tried the Choc Mint hot - I think it tastes just like a Mint Chocolate Options.
