5 calorie juice on phase 1?
Well, I thought I'd ask here for my friend who was thinking of doing South Beach, but doesn't have an account here.
She is a big fan of the 5 calorie Ocean Spray Diet juices. They are only 5 cals and a mere 2 grams carbs for a full cup. She read the South Beach list and thought they would be allowable under the 75-100 calorie Sweets and Treats list on Phase 1, but a senior member from a facebook South Beach Diet group told her no go. This doesn't seem right. I mean 2 grams of carbs can't have that much juice in it.
Would any of you count this as a Phase 1 sweet treat or avoid it? Both her and I figure if you're allowed fructose as a sweetener, or Agave Syrup (which is controversial anyway) on Phase 1, what the heck is up with the diet juices?
Thanks.
