I went to Basha's today and saw these two products by Sorbee.. I was going to buy them.. but I wanted to get an opinion first

http://www.diabeticfriendly.com/sorchocsyr.html

http://www.diabeticfriendly.com/sorlitchoosb.html

I would use the syrup w. my oatmeal or on top cottage cheese and Ezekiel bread

and the SF candy as a late night snack after my last meal.. What you think Jodi?

**Jodi** · 08-01-2004, 12:05 AM

Yes, those are fine Sara. However, I would not add them in on a daily basis. Making it a little special treat like every few days will make it that much more worthwhile and enjoyable.

I won't get them now.. but I will keep them in mind

well, maybe the candy I might soon

**Jodi** · 08-01-2004, 12:22 AM

Are you hungry or something? Do you have cravings for anything?

I'm not hungry now.. and don't have cravings for anything.. well, I can eat a bag of nuts anytime

I just wanted to know if I can add some flavor to the ezekiel bread or my oats sometimes

**Jodi** · 08-01-2004, 12:36 AM

Of course you can. Have you ever looked at using extracts Sara. I do that often for my oats and shakes. You can get just about any flavor out there and because you use such tiny amounts the cals are extremely minimal. My favorite is banana extract. Its good added to oats and vanilla or chocolate protein

Of course though you can buy those SF items but just use them in small quantities and not making a daily habit is all.

sara · 08-01-2004, 12:42 AM

I used SF syrup once last week with the ezekiel bread.. just used 1/2 TBSP
and each serving on the label is 1/4 cup less than 30 calories I think

I threw out the SF candy "life savers" 1 candy never satisfy me, decided to limit it for now

I have Almond vanilla extract from wild oats and it doesn't taste good.. where you get you'r extract from?

**Jodi** · 08-01-2004, 12:49 AM

I just buy the extracts at Basha's

You only used the SF Syrup once last week? Bah......that's nothing. I just don't think you should use it everyday but if you want it every other day or so then that's fine. Remember, we don't want to make this a diet but more of a lifestyle and as far as I'm concerned SF Syrup is part of my lifestlye

sara · 08-01-2004, 12:54 AM

Basha's here don't carry the smukers jam or extracts.. I will take a look at sprouts and see if they have any
Yes.. SF syrup only once last week.. but I'm using splenda and stevia with my Tea and coffee at 2-3 times daily

and the SF candy and lots gum

sara · 08-01-2004, 12:58 AM

Jodi, is there anyway I can change the name of my journal, without starting a new journal?

Jill · 08-01-2004, 08:36 AM

THAT CHOCOLATE SURYP IS GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

2T killed my tummy. Bad bad bad. I ended up throwing out the whole bottle.

I buy a nsa maple suryp by ED Smith. I dont know if you have that brand in the US. Its really good-sweetened with splenda. I find that 'sobee' brand icky, probably cause of all the sugar alcohols, they really do a # on my stomach.

Thanks for the warning Jill

even if I used any SF syrup I wouldn't be using 2 TBSP.. 1/2 TBSP or 1 tsp is enough just for little flavor

Jill · 08-01-2004, 08:48 AM

The flavor of that syrup is nasty. To me it was sour-no resemblance to chocolate

I just bought some the other day there.

Albertsons and Safeway carry it too. Why the sad face with the coffee? Drink it........enjoy it. Remember, I'm not like those at F&B where they will tell you EVERYTHING is bad

I know coffee is bad.. but the sad face because I'm using sweetner with the cofee (splenda and Stevia 3 times daily)

How much extract would you add into 3/4 cup oats?

COFFEE IS NOT BAD FOR YOU! GET THAT OUT OF YOUR HEAD! Tell me, what is bad about it? There are more health benefits from it than there are bad things.

I use about 1/2 tsp. extract.

Your warm up sets should be about half the weight of your working sets. So if you are doing DB Curls at 17.5 pounds then your warmup set should be 5 or 7.5lbs for 12-15 reps.

Sara darlin, coffee isnt as bad as some make it out to bed, there are MANY positive things from it.. just dont go overboard and drink a whole pot each day.
My ND suggested I cut it out this past spring.. I too was like you and felt bad drinking it once I went back.... but as Jodi always stresses.. Enjoy the little things in life

We only live once.

is the 3/4c.oats dry measure? or cooked?

I'm telling ya, it's those F&B people. Everything is supposedly bad. Coffee, Splenda, diet soda, heaven forbid anything non-organic...

These people don't "live."
