They actually do a sugar free version with sweetner, maybe thats the one in question? Think they're aimed at diabetics.

 

[cherl889]

Are they allowed though? If they are then thats a weekly treat for me......I love them.

 

[Marysu]

Have just seen them. Never tried them. Don't see the harm maybe i'm wrong. As long as they're the sugar free ones.

 

[Jim]

Yes if they are Carb free then they are OK

 

[cherl889]

Im getting excited now. Im going to try and google them.

 

[cherl889]

Ok so here goes. Jim I'll need your help on the ingredients thought please..... 1x10g chuba chups strawberry cremosa lolly (sf)= 0 carbs and 0 protein. Contains sweetners (isomalt 64%), malitol syrup 7%, butter, food acid (lactic), salt, regulator (sodium lactate), flavouring emulsifier (soy lecithin), sweetner acesulfame potassium E950, colours E171 & E120.

 

[Jim]

Hmm, the Malitol may give you the runs. But I'd suck it and see. Pun intended.

 

[cherl889]

Lmao. Well I shall let you know. Ooh i think i have a few in the cupboard. Oh can a night duty get any better, kebab and a lolly. You've made my weekend!

 

[StephCracknell]

I have a v.v. sensitive stomach and even I can eat them, the sugar free ones that is. They are allowed apparently and are lovely.

As far as the cheese, I think the book says 3-4 oz a day, and 60g is just over 2oz of cheese unless I have gotten it totally wrong?

xx

 

[cherl889]

No Steph its probably me! Really looking forward to my lolly now. Havent got any so will have to find some. That will resolve my sweet urges when i have them

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Dinner is the best bit.

Yes Ben where are your greens?

 

[Jim]

and Chili con carne? no beans mate.

 

[cherl889]

I love a good chilli con carne but hate the beans so its all good for me!

 

[LVLLM]

i did a chilli but without the beans it was nice

 

[cherl889]

Did you use tin toms? Which ones? I fancy one but havent made one since on atkins. I normally put too much chilli in so no one else can eat it...........Jim fancy some. Lol

 

[LVLLM]
