Sugar Free Candy

"Warning: Excessive consumption may cause laxative effect"

Surely one or two pieces isn't excessive, but I am still having the laxative effect! I haven't tried much sugar free candy but what I have tried really messes with me! Do others have this same problem? Is this just the way it is or is there other candy that would be better?

I don't eat much sugar free candy at all and didn't have any through induction but before I started I would always have a little something sweet after dinner and now that I'm out of induction I thought I would try it. I don't think I will be wanting much more though!

There was a time when you could buy good sugar free candy that did not make you run for the bathroom. Z-Carb bars, may you rest in peace.

Just a couple of pieces bother my stomach too
And I've tried them all It's those nasty SUGAR ALCOHOLS
You should make something like whipped cream with splenda and cocoa powder or lemon extract
It's better for you anyways. SF candy can stall you too...BLAH!!!

Make sure oyucheck the carbs on thatSF candy. I went through Walreens the other day llike a mad woman on crack looking for a fix. LOL and of course all of them had carbs. I know if you can find a Confectionary near where you live or within a reasonable driving distane they most likely will have SF stuff.

That Cocoa idea sounds really good. What makes my mout water is tat with some watered down cream heated up for ano carb hot cocoa and BTW ..... you ave such a impish grin. That bottom picture makesya look like you just did somethin bad.

LMAO!!! You never know with me

Oh, I LOVE cream cheese. I put sweetzfree (splenda) in it and this stuff called "True Lime" it has no sugar and no carbs and it tastes like key lime cheesecake. I got the idea from jimmy moore DEEEEELISH!!!

I avoid sugar free candy like the plague. Besides the *issues* it causes, I am convinced it stalls weight loss.

I couldn't find any true lime but I mixed splenda and cream cheese and it is soooo good! Thanks for the idea!

And you do look impish!!

[Oh.2.B.Fit]

I hope looking "impish" is a good thing lol!!!

Here is a link to True Lime (there is also True Lemon and True Orange). Oh, and they will send you a free sample and you can see where they seel it in your area. I found it at the store near the sugar. Not sure if it's in the UK

True Lime

Thank you! My sister is in CA and my parents are in GA so they very sweetly send me things that I can't find here! I will put in an order for true lime right away! I love lime but don't want to use it because of the diet so it will be great for me. I'm thinking of all kinds of uses for it already! I wonder if I could even make a faux margarita with it...
