Ready To Go!!!

Ok.. Ok... I will completely get rid of the Crystal Light and Diet Dr. Pepper. At least for two weeks and see how I do without it. I will also remove the shake from the diet. I did not even realize it had the milk/soy products in it, thus, I only noticed that it was an acceptable snack option. However, what do you think about what Michele mentioned on having half of the bar, or even half of the shake? Or would you just say, completely wipe them both out? I definitely think I have enough within my daily meal plan to be full. Even if I just have some tuna as a replacement. It's not so much about eating them (I have the 2% string cheese and jello cups as a snack, so i'm fine) I'm just trying to make sure that I have different options so i'm not always eating the same things. I'm a little on the lazy side by the way, at least when it comes to cooking. Is the already made buffalo wings by Tyson cool or should I be making those myself as well?

Hey Slapshot! I just went online and found the Acceptable Foods list for Induction and the below does state that Diet Soda is ok and to check the carb count.

Beverages

• Clear broth/ bouillon (make sure it has no sugars added)
• Club soda
• Cream, heavy or light.
• Decaffeinated or regular coffee and tea*
• Diet soda (be sure to note the carb count)
• Flavored seltzer (must say no calories)
• Herb tea (without added barley or fruit sugar added)
• Water – at least eight 8-ounce glasses per day including...
  • Filtered water
  • Mineral water
  • Spring water
  • Tap water

Check to see if there is a diet soda made with splenda that you like. Splenda is better than the aspartame in regular diet soda's. I know that Diet Coke makes a version with Splenda. I have have no idea about the diet dr.pepper.

I've heard there is a liquid crystal light made with Splenda as well. I'll have to look into that.

Here's a thought for a treat:
Make an italian soda! Use sugar free flavorer soda (I found orange soda), add ice and a splash of heavy cream. Or use sugar free flavoring (like the kind for latte's) and fizzy water and cream. These have been a nice refreshing drink once in a while for me.

ugh... I ate too many carbs tonight. I don't know what I was thinking. But after I ate, I felt like I was drunk... only no alcohol.
Any of you guys ever have that? Might be that I'm sooo tired tonight.

Yep, but that's hard to jive with the "no aspartame" rule (which is why I suggested nixing the Dr. Pepper. Diet soda w/ splenda appears to be your second best choice...the best way to get rid of them is to drink water and your urge to drink them will dissipate...it worked for me...(so far, that is!)
