lottie - What's in the reduced fat Tostitos cheese sauce? I don't think I've ever seen one that was allowed on South Beach but then I haven't looked too hard.

The problem with reduced fat anything is that they have to throw in fillers of some sort to replace the missing fat. Scary and borderline FRANKENFOOD!
Wow! That felt so good! I haven't done that for a long time! Sorry!

what's in it? Do you mean nutritional info? It's 1.4 grams of fat and 4 grams of carbs for 2 tbls. ff cheese is allowed so I don't know whyt his wouldn't be, it's similar? Either way whether it's allowed or not it isn't stalling/stopping my weight loss so I will continue to eat it, it really helps get the veggies down too and that is a means to an end.

These are the ingredients for the Tostitos cheese dip Lottie mentioned:

Water, monterey jack cheese (cultured milk, salt, enzymes), modified food starch, diced tomatoes in tomato juice, jalapeno peppers, chili peppers, red bell peppers, maltodextrin, canola or sunflower oil, whey protein concentrate, natural flavors, salt, milk protein concentrate, sodium hexametaphosphate, monosodium glutamate, datem, sodium phosphate, spice, artifical colors and soy lecithin.

40 calories, 1.8 g fat, 210 mg, 4 g carbs and less than 1 g sugar in 2 tbsp of the stuff.

I don't know, it doesn't look that bad to me. Definitely salty and processed, but modified food starch turns up in a lot of SBD-approved foods (yogurts). Maltodextrin, too.

I think the monosodium glutamate might be a problem too but it doesn't look too bad for a phase 2 processed item. It looks good enough that I'll keep it in mind next time I have a party.

yeah I"m on phase 2.
