HELP PLEASE?! I don't want to cheat!!

[Kamikins]

I am starting inducation tomorrow as I was unprepared last Wednesday, and needed to go shopping because my house was stocked with a bunch of pasta, cereal and bread. I went shopping, and feel I'm okay, but no where can I find if sugar-free jello is on the list of okay foods? It has ZERO sugar and ZERO carbs. Is this okay? I just bought like 3 6 packs! Also, during induction, are we supossed to eat ONLY what's on the okay list? Or can we eat other no-carb foods? Like, peporronii isn't on the list, but is has zero carbs? Please help, I don't want to cheat!

For the introduction period I suggest eating what is listing in the book. And of course make sure you are drinking plenty of water. After the 2 weeks is up, you can branch out a bit in your eating.

Jell-O brand sugar free jello contains asparatame and so u can't eat it. but if you check for Hunt's Snack Pack Juicy Gels you can find some orange and strawberry sweetened with sucralose. beware though, not all flavours are sugar-free! check the label! i made this mistake and it set me back 50 grams of carbs.

count your sweetners.. you get like 3 a day or something... also it is better if you stay completely off anything sweet for the first week then your cravings for sweets will go away. If you eat anything sweet even if sweetened with splenda many times your cravings will stick around

Thanks! I think I'll look for that other brand that doesn't contain ASP. What exactly is the negative info on ASP anyway? Like why is it not encouraged?
