I'm sorry if this question is posted elsewhere. I looked and couldn't find it. Are we allowed sugar free jello (in a very small amount) on phase 1? It is 0 sugar, 0 carbs. I feel like it is a dumb question (answer = NO), but I have to ask
I do, but I'm doing a cross between IP and Medifast. SF jello is allowed as a freebie on MF. Strict IP states anything not on the Phase 1 sheet has to be 0/0/0, which jello is not (5-10 cals). Anything under 20 cals and 5 carbs is free on MF. I only take advantage of the freebies from each plan so I don't eat my weight in other bad things, and maybe an extra packet if necessary.
I believe the sugar free jello contains aspartame! Aspartame supposedly spikes blood sugar and is not good for you in general. I'm not an expert but I think this is why it isn't allowed on IP. I LOVE JELLO and it would be a nice asset to the diet
