0 carb sodas, aspartame but ok or not? [atkins induction phase] [health food store]
I was just at the supermarket and found their own brand of flavored sodas. 0 carbs, but 132mg per 250ml portion of aspartame. Is this a no-no Atkins induction phase?
Also, youll find sugar free jello in the regular supermarket or health food store? I can not find at Safeway or Save on here in Kelowna, BC.

Reply:Is there any other sugar free foods that have no carbs?
I brought the jello but have not had it yet,

Reply:aspartame won't knock you out of ketosis or anything, but may slow your weightloss down. We've come to find out that it varies from person to person how their bodies process & metabolises the sugar substitutes.
My husband's body figures way around it & slows down the weightloss process when he eats a lot of the sugar free stuff with aspartame etc, whereas I seem to be able to have it just fine.
Luckily more & more stuff comes out with Splenda, which is much tastier

Reply:guy,
I have Dr.Atkins diet book here in front of me. It says: ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS: Dieters must determine which artifical sweeteners agree with them,but the following ARE ALLOWED:saccharine,aspartame,acesulfame-K. Sweetners such as sorbitol,mannitol,and other hexitols are NOT
Allowed,nor are any natural sweeteners ending in the letters-ose,such as maltose,fructose,and so on. This is right out of his book for induction diet.
Even though I have been out of the induction for quite awhile I still do not eat these things I just mentioned,because it holds me up on losing weight. But I do use Aspartame in certain things I want to. I use it for when I whip heavy cream for jell-0,and I use it on Strawberrys if I don't have cream on them.I also use it in tea(decaf) w/lemon Aspertame comes in jars which I use,or packets.The jars do not have anything with -ose, or tol in it .But however the packets have it in them.Splenda also has things in it I don't like. Those would be what I would use after I get on to maintain my weight loss. I just wanted to let you know ,that it is alright to use aspartame(equal)is another name for it. Both on induction,and to maintain your weight. Good luck to all of you!!! sjg

So, that brings me to my next point – how many carbs would you think there was in a small piece of cheese pizza. It was all they had at the evacuation center and I couldn't leave to go get a salad or anything. I plan on just eating 0 carbs for the rest of the day, but it would be handy to know anyway for the sake of knowning. Any estimates?
Thanks all
2 usefull resources are:
Dietfacts (http://www.dietfacts.com/list.asp#K)
and Fitday (http://www.fitday.com)
between the two you should find just about every peice of food that is out there. many name brand and franchise resturaunt foods too.
1/8 of 12" diameter cheese thick crust pizza is appx 28g carb. that's the same as a medium banana.

Reply:I was going to use it in Knox gelatin since I couldn't find flavoured jello. I didn't make it yet because I didn't want to cheat but wanted something dessert like. I haven't gotten to the health food store because I live in Kelowna BC and huge evacuations went on last night. I spent the day working at the registration center.

Reply:If that is the only kind you can find, than I guess it is ok. The store brand soda water that I use contains sucralose and it is so good! I find that the ones with apartame have an aftertaste. It won't make too much of a difference on weight loss really, but if you can find one with sucralose it is better.
You should be able to find sugar-free jello at the regular grocery store too, but I wasn't able to find one without aspartame.
