Supposin' now that this place had a newspaper or magazine... maybe the 'FS Echo' or the 'Thin Thinkin Tribune' I wonder if they would have an 'Agony Aunt' section, a place to be the panacea for all our ills... My First letter would probably be a lil like;
Dear Clare, (Clare always sounds like a soothing kinda name!] I've been having this relationship with my food for well over 40 years now and we have always had a very loving and close relationship. That is until recently...when 'they' came into my life and tempted me away from everything I ever held dear...
Clare, its all I think about or talk about.. yes... but there is more, for I must confess - its a threesome!!!! I've surredered to the velvet beauty and tantaslization of ... the three sisters cream... delectable double, sexy single and frolicking flavoured. How could one resist their tempations.. its a tantric affair!
Is there any hope Clare or should I submit to my natural urges!
Yours (in vanilla cream sensation!)
Whitelips.
What I REALLY wanted to ask is..... if I am getting to the end of the day and have only had 12g of carbs.. is there any harm in having a BUCKET load of cream once I stay under the 20g mark???? Is there?
In relation to anyone with diabetes issues, I was reading Dr. Bernsteins book "The Diabetes solution" over the weekend. He wrote a piece on the topic of sweetners which I found interesting. He listed the main ones
Saccharin - Sweet n low
aspartame - Nutrasweet
acesulfame(k) - Sunett, the sweet one
Stevia - Not approve here in the EU
Sucralose - Splenda
Neotame - Newly approved by the FDA
Cyclamate - Not yet available in the US
He was making the point that all vary in their availabilty and are used to satisfy a sweet tooth without signigicantly affecting blood sugars - BUT ONLY IN TABLET FORM. He says that in powered form they usually contain a sugar mix to increase bulk and will rapidy increase blood sugar levels. When bought in powered form they typically contain about 96% glucose or maltodextrin.
He adds that if ya read the 'nutritional facts' label on granulated splenda for example it lists (as it must) ingrediants in order from most to least: dextrose(glucose), maltodextrin(mix of sugars) and finally sucralose. Most powered sweetner are sold as low cal and/or sugarfree sweetners because they only contain 1 gram of sugar as compared to 3 grams of sucrose in a similar paper packed labelled 'sugar'. However the exception to this rule seems to be Stevia, which apparantly has little rapid effect on blood sugar levels. Sarah found it quite interestion so I thought that I'd just share it for what its worth..
Well... my weigh in now shows me in the 160's... nearly three lbs down but only 1lb is actual weight loss (and that has taken 4 weeks) the other two lbs were because of a dodgy conversion from stones to lbs... I was doing it wrong (according to my expensive new scales) so I had lbs in the bank!!
Now apologies if I went off track in this journal... Conor telephoned me half way through with the results of his end of year school exams.. 6 A grades and 4 B's *s*
Happy Monday.... (ohhh I'm on vacation from Wednesday for a week!) happy days!

Congrats to Conor. Interesting about the sweeteners, I try to avoid them but when drinking coffee and tea, it's impossible. You're doing great and so close to goal, keep up the good work!

Bravo on the loss and to Conner on the good grades!! :) I have to suggest looking for Xylitol. It is virtually a zero on the glycemic index. If you need a link, just let me know, I order it online, but it can be found in health food stores, as well. I REALLY like it, it's just like sugar in taste, too me, and it's not going to spike my sugars. I put 1/2 cup in my sun tea jar after brewing some green/white tea... YUM!! :) Maybe I ought to call them about promo bennies...! =D Keep on kickin' it up!!

Hey Dave! I can't figure out whether you're getting your "knowledge" from Playboy magazines or from women's romance novels! Hilarious letter! :)

Congrats on Connors grades...they sound fantastic..is he going to be in A levels next year? And more weight loss? I think we need to see a new pic of you cos your current one looks like its in the 180's era!! I love heavy cream (I was the first self confessed cream addict on FS I think!!). I also indulge in about 3-4 tablespoons every night and this time around without consequence. Initially, when I started the diet, I started to slow down when I overdid it but maybe my body has now adjusted to the rich creamy heavenly taste. Remember the ad for double cream "Naughty but nice" you betcha!! I just think that as long as you keep everything in moderation, you should be fine.

Hey Davy, we all must indulge in a treat once in a while! It keeps us sane! As long as you get back on the wagon the next day, you'll be fine! Congrats on losing that pound! Glad you posted that info on the sweeteners. I had never read that before. Very interesting. Great news on Conor's grades too! What a smart lad he is! Oh, and good luck on that "back fat" measurement...LOL And have a marvelous vacation! You deserve it my friend :D

I prefer stevia and I am trying to learn to cook with it. It is the only one of those listed that exists in nature. It is an herb.

I also prefer stevia because it is "all-natural" and comes from the herb sweetleaf. I buy the granulated variety because I find that the liquid has a funny taste and is often flavoured with vanilla, orange, etc.
