  1. Hi everyone-

    I have been on Atkins since March 1 of this year and I have gone from 276
    to 185 as of September 1 (now I'm only weighing in every month). I am a 28
    year old male, 6'1". It seems I have come down with an early case of the
    flu, I was hanging out with a friend of mine about a week or so ago who was
    just getting over something...he had been in bed for 3 days very sick. So I
    took a chance and I got sick anyways🙁

    I ate my regular stuff yesterday but today the 'bug' has really kicked in
    and my stomach is just very upset and I don't think I'm going to be able to
    eat any solid foods and I don't like broth or anything like that. I wanted
    to ask if anyone has had any sugar free jello/0 carb jello while on the
    atkins program? Also would it be acceptable for me to look in the frozen
    'treat' section of the grocery store to perhaps find atkins pop siccles or
    something like that? I'm craving some flavored icey treats right now but
    I'm determined to stick with my plan, as my final goal is 170lbs and I'm SO
    close I refuse to do anything that will set me back.

    Actually now that I think about it, I remember a few weeks after I had first
    started atkins I came down with a little bug (a late winter bug) and I
    actually had some sugar free jello/0 carb jello and it had no negative
    effect on my weight loss, nor did it stall me out. Actually I lost 4 pounds
    that week if I remember correctly so maybe I just answered my own question.

    Anyways it would be nice to hear some other people from this board if they
    have had any experience with what I asked about.

    Thanks!

  2. Sure, eat some SF jello. In fact, eat some sugary jello if you want to.
    The carbs may help you recover quicker.

  3. About the jello:

    I've used sugar-free jello all along. I think you'll find it's a common
    low-carb treat in this group. I'm surprised you're asking about it being
    okay with Atkins. I thought the Atkins book specifically mentions
    sugar-free jello with whipped cream as an example of an acceptable treat?
    (Mine does, anyway, but it's not the newest edition)

    Most brands of sugar free jello have aspartame in them, but some do not.
    And some people don't stall with aspartame.
    Also, you can make your own jello using sugar free koolaid, any flavor you
    want, and knox gelatin. You can search for more specific instructions, it's
    been on previoius posts here.

    Good luck getting over the flu.

  4. I always use the sugar free Jello with no problem when I don't feel
    well. Crushed ice with a sugar free flavored syrup like Da Vinci works
    well too. Congrats on the weight loss and hope you feel better soon. :-)

  7. Oh I forgot one thing, I don't recall the book I have saying anything about
    jello, it was just something I did on my own back in March. But perhaps
    your book does.

    No problem. However, if you only eat some sugary jello while you're sick,
    and since you can't keep anything else down, I doubt you'll gain any weight,
    right?

    Get well.

    BTW, be careful with any Atkins stuff. It might have sugar alcohols in them
    and you don't want those problems while you're already not feeling well.
    Read the labels for the 'tols.

  10. You know what I'm reallyi n the mood for? Some pudding! LMAO, is there
    such a thing as sugar free/0 carb pudding and if so would that be
    acceptable? It has been almost 7 months now since I have had ANY KIND of
    'junk' food I mean I have stuck to this plan like gold, obviously if I lost
    91lbs in 6 months. I had told myself that I wans't going to 'treat' myself
    every once in a while until I reached 170 but because I feel so bad, I'm so
    tempted🙂

  13. Warm up some cream cheese, add a little Splenda and flavoring of your
    choice--cocoa or melt a little baking chocolate in it, vanilla, my favorite
    is a little lemon juice.

    |||||||
    ||||||| I ate my regular stuff yesterday but today the 'bug' has really
    ||||||| kicked in and my stomach is just very upset and I don't think
    ||||||| I'm going to be able to eat any solid foods and I don't like
    ||||||| broth or anything like that. I wanted to ask if anyone has had

    ||||||| my final goal is 170lbs and I'm SO close I refuse to do
    ||||||| anything that will set me back.
    |||||||
    ||||||| Actually now that I think about it, I remember a few weeks
    ||||||| after I had first started atkins I came down with a little bug
    ||||||| (a late winter bug) and I actually had some sugar free jello/0
    ||||||| carb jello and it had no negative effect on my weight loss, nor
    ||||||| did it stall me out. Actually I lost 4 pounds that week if I
    ||||||| remember correctly so maybe I just answered my own question.
    |||||||
    ||||||| Anyways it would be nice to hear some other people from this
    ||||||| board if they have had any experience with what I asked about.
    |||||||
    ||||||| Thanks!

    There is that low-carb yogurt....it might seem like pudding you to. I think
    it only has 3 g of carbs per serving....and perhaps has splenda.

    There is SF Jello Pudding - i don't remember but I think it's like 8 g for
    eating the whole BOX!! LOL! I found that if you mix it with heavy cream and
    put it in the fridge it turns into chocolate mousse! mmmmm...... I did this
    about 5 years ago and I don't remember the exact carb counts but i remember
    it was yummy.

    You remember it very wrongly. SF pudding mix has 6g cornstarch per
    serving. If chocolate, 2 more grams carb per serving.

    Yes you can have sugar-free jello. It makes great no-carb popsicles.
    Use an artificial sweetener (preferably other than aspartame) and
    freeze it in a ice cube tray with toothpicks for sticks.

  17. Coconut milk is a nice treat with almost no carb. At least not unless
    something has been added. Chaokoh doesnt' add anything.

    About pudding, I make a NO-carb 'hot chocolate' drink with mostly water,
    including some whey and cocoa powder (and sometimes cream) and heat it in
    the microwave. If I use too much whey or heat it too long, it turns to
    pudding.

    Same if I make eggnog and heat it too long, or have too many eggs in it.

    That sounds like some readymade yogurt with a lot of stuff added. Check for
    'ol's.

    Better get some 'plain' yogurt with nothing added and add whatever you
    like. Plain whole milk yogurt would be good; and you can add some cream or
    sour cream (again check for additives).

    I can't say for sure, but I don't think this stuff has any SAs in it. I've
    had it on a few occasions, and I noticed no problems. Unfortunately, I
    can't remember the brand name of it. But I agree, it is has SAs it should
    be avoid by someone with the flu, imo.

  20. I've never seen a yogurt with "ols" in it, they are used in things like bars
    to assist with the texture.
