Default Re: sugar free jello and whip cream..

Whipped cream is allowed as long as you stick to the limits in the induction list - measure the cream before whipping, as it expands! Ready whipped cream might contain ingredients not allowed so as with all processed foods, read the list of ingredients as well as the number of carbs.

BTW check serving sizes to make sure you count 'a bit less than one carb' per serving, which might be something like a teaspoon of the stuff!

Manufacturers are allowed to claim 'zero' carbs if the product has less than 0.5 carbs per serving and 'less than one' if it has betwen 0.5 and 0.99999 carbs per serving. This means that if the 'less than one' carb is for one teaspoon and you eat 2 tablespoons of it you might be eating 6 x 0.9999 carbs!
