Alright, I have a few questions in regard to what I can eat on keto. There are these Jello Sugar free jello things that only have 10 calories. They have 0 everything else, but have gelatin and aspartame in them. Is it still okay to eat it or should I avoid it? Same goes with Diet pop, okay to drink?
bump, I would also like to know
Depends on the person. Some it will kick them out of keto but most it will not. Thank goodness I am not one of the ones who get kicked out of keto. as many diet drinks as I drink i would have withdrawals if I had to give them up. LOL!
but why would it kick them out of keto?
This room does focus on ketosis, but it shouldn't matter. Once you focus on your 65%Fat/ 30%Protein/ 5%Carbs, your body has no choice to burn fat as fuel. So suger-free jello is fine(check the label for carb content. Suger-free doesn't mean low carb). I like to use heavy whipped cream on mine. This curbs any desire for ice-cream.
My new favorite treats are sugar free chocolate pudding with whipped cream or Russell Stover sugar free chocolates. One cup of the sugar free chocolate pudding and/or 2 or 3 sugar free chocolate pieces is enough to take the edge off a chocolate craving.

yea, but aren't sugar free puddings like 20+ grams of carbs each?
Well, Im talking about the so called "0" carb jello snacks. Im sure they contain trace carbs, but I doubt it will throw me out of ketosis since I eat less than 2% carbs a day. But I was wondering non the less.

Nope. Fitday shows:
Desserts, puddings, KRAFT, JELL-O Brand Sugar Free Cook & Serve Reduced Calorie Pudding & Pie Filling Chocolate, regular, with aspartame and acesulfame potassium sweetener, powder
Total Carbohydrate 7.45g
I compared it to the package and it's almost exactly right. :)
Hey thanks so much everyone! If I could give reps, I totally would. I appreciate it.

mmm..not sure which one your buying unless the US gets a different product than here in Canada.
But the values on one cup of sugar free pudding by Jell-o is 60 cals 1.5gm fat 14g carb 1g fiber and 2g protien. I guess my question is how did u get 7g??

Jell-O brand in the States. The serving sizes are about 1/2 cup: they are the little plastic snack-packs with the foil seal. Maybe that's the difference?

[quote]Scarily, a normal small serving of chocolate pudding has 25g of carbs in it!! Talk about FULL of sugar. That is awful for your waist as well as your teeth. This Jell-O version with Splenda has 7g of carbs per serving. This may still seem high, but remember, this is a chocolatey dessert. It's already a luxury item.

I believe we were actually talking about these

Yeah but he was also mentioning the pudding brand.
Kool aid + sugar free gelatin + splena = NO CAL/NO CARB JELLO :)
Some people seem to be affected by aspartame. I find it stalls me. However, I make my own sugar-free jelly with gelatin, lemon juice (or other flavouring) and stevia.
I've just made a sort of lemon pudding by whisking in a few spoonfuls of cream cheese into the gelatin solution.
