My goal in life is not to be the kind of eater who avoids carbs at all costs. For some people specific foods or foods over some glycemic load do have to be avoided at all costs or they get driven off the plan. For some people they can eat anything on occasion and not get driven off the plan. Thinking you fall in one class or the other is just a guess. *It's something that has to be tried and learned for certain by experiment. And it's not just binary on or off. *There are shades of gray in between that may need to be learned. I'm sure they did not mean wrong; they just don't know how much just one piece of cake can screw up my plan. I don't trust myself yet to eat that stuff yet. I'm sure I would have gotten more than one. Possibly 3 or 4. After that, I would have gone to Tim Horton's and get one or two of wonderful dougnuts. Then the water retention for a few days. And then two bagles the next day... If I go ahead with a dessert, I will be extremely selective and it will be on my own time when I know I have the discipline to have only one piece, but a high- quality one. |

I'm very proud of you for being this honest with yourself and with us complete strangers. It's unfortunately very easy to turn one piece of cake into a high- carb binge lasting days, weeks or months. But, the other side is also true; I know because I've been there. I've had that piece of cake, sometimes just a bite, and continued on plan without backsliding. I just want you to know that when and if you're ready, that option is always open to you if you think you can handle it. Orlando Thanks for your support, Orlando. Soon or late, I will try a piece of these "foods of the devil". I'm going to my family in a few months. They always have them. It's gonna be hard because I'm not the one who will do the cooking. As much as possible, I will eat the food I know will not hurt me. I expect people rising eyebrows on some of the things I love to eat like banana with natural peanut butter. Absolutely to avoid: Milk! It surely makes me overeat! |

It does contain some sugar alcohols, which is another issue we, but if used in moderation, it can be fine. An example would be some fresh strawberries with a couple scoops of vanilla. |

I recently got hooked on sugar free popsicles, a nice treat with negligible
carbs/calories. wrote: | | There's also a lot of desserts besides cake and there are many that | are or can be made LC. Also, I like the Breyers LC ice cream.

There are several kinds, my favorites are Ice Pix from Kroger, they show a
few carbs but I think those are from sugar alcohols which make them softer than the ones with just Splenda. wrote: | On Apr 30, 4:17 pm, "FOB" wrote: || Splenda instead. || || Billy wrote: || ||| ||| And no Aspartame, right? ||| ||| ASPARTAME (NUTRASWEET®) ADDICTION ||| http://www.dorway.com/tldaddic.html | | Interesting, I'll have to look for them.

How about those sugarless"fudges"? I'm not sure of the word in English. It's frozen chocolate milk on a stick. It's easy to have the whole container of six. |
