there is sugar free and no sugar which one is it?

[MadamPhoenix]

Hello I started Atkins on monday 9/22 and I have lost 10 lbs so far! so excited! I have not really been hungry since I do get my good carbs and drink lots of water but i do want something to snack on..I found this Jell-O cups that are called Sugarfree, but when I read the label it has "sweetners" I looked at the boxed ones and they have the samething..can that be eaten by Atkins standarts? also Ketch up and mayonaisse any ideas? I can't live without them lol

you can eat mayo ... most katsup has sugar , so read the labels and see what you can find without sugar.

The only problem with the Jello is that they are usually sweetened with aspertame, and thats not allowed...

As Sarah said, you do need to look at the ingredients in something to see which sweeteners have been used and choose those allowed on the induction list.

Nowadays 'sugarfree' or 'no added sugar' usually means it has artificial sweetener added rather than that it hasn't been sweetened with anything.

It still amazes me that nearly everything that isnt just fresh food seems to have sugar or sweeteners of some kind in it!

Thank you! I am bummed out hahaha I really wanted that jello, it is frustrating to read labels and it tells you 0 carbs but when you look closer it has like 1% carb per servings grrrr!
