Having sugar free chocolate daily?



Recommended Posts

So, I have been having some Sugar Free Chocolates (about 35 calories, 5 carbs and 2 fat) or Sugar Free Chocolate ice cream (about 1 tbsp and similar macros) may be few times a week.

Would it be too much to do either sugar free chocolate OR 1tbsp of ice cream once a day everyday? I think somewhere they help getting away from same old food schedule. Ofc I also make sure not to go beyond those limits.

It's hard to tell with the weight loss if they directly contribute to it. There are days when I don't lose much while having them and days I still lose while having them.

Weight loss for me as others out here is a cycle of plateau and then lose and so on and so forth.

Yes I am the same. Honestly if you are only having a small amount I can't see the harm, personally I have a coke every other day and the same with chocolate. I am still loosing but half a kilo a week

Ahhh you're almost at the end of your journey while I still have a long way to go 😂

But I understand what you're saying, it's just the little voice in the head that makes you feel guilty at times 😂 Though I mostly don't slip easily where I go beyond the limit but I also don't like completely restricting myself from treating myself once a day.

What's the old saying, "Everything in moderation." You shouldn't have to eliminate any foods or treats from your diet as long as you keep them in moderation.

Why are you worried about a tablespoon of sugar free ice cream? I assure you this will not affect your weight loss. It has almost no calories. If you start eating the whole carton, then you might reconsider.

I have a serving (about 2/3 cup, 79 g) of Breyer's sugar free ice cream every few days as a treat. I don't feel like I need it every day, but I certainly want more than 1 tablespoon when I want it.

Everyone's weight will drop and plateau; that's just how weight loss is, whether with surgery or without.

This has to be a life-long sustainable journey; you have to enjoy your life or you might just go overboard in reaction to being super strict.

Agree with everyone else. As long as you're tracking your intake and it isn't a bigger portion every time you shouldn't feel remotely guilty.

I have one square of 90% chocolate most days - it's about 50 calories and OMG I enjoy every one of them.

Trust me when I say I have been having little treats all the way along 😆 in the puree food stage I lived KFC mash potatoe and gravy. But small amounts is the key which I really need to remind myself of as my little 300ml coke has turned into 600ml 🤭 😞 and it's not diet.

I have a half cup of Sugar Free Chocolate Jello pudding each day. I mix in Protein Powder and use fairlife milk so that it’s 15g of Protein. It doesn’t mess with my weight loss and helps me get closer to eating enough.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
