| Is it ok to have Suger Free Jelly in phase 1 ? The Suger free jelly comes as crystals and has to me mixed with cold water and left until it sets. It has only 10 calories a serving and aspartame + acesulfame sweetners. Other ingredients include gelatine, citric acid, trisodium citrate, salt and flavourings. Do you think it would be ok in phase 1 or later phases ? |

| Looking at the ingredients, I would not eat this product. Peanut butter is o.k. and would be a better choice for P1. There are sugar free jams made with fruit that are o.k. for P2. Bread is not allowed on P1, so what are you using jam for? If you are mixing it ricotta or cottage cheese as a sweetner and for flavour, there are S/F jello products that would be more suitable. I don't use jello, so hopefully, someone else will advise you what is best. In P2, I mix the S/F fruit jams with cottage cheese for a nice dessert treat. |

| Perhaps Packmanuk is from somewhere in the world where Jelly means gelatin? Like Jello. In which case Sugar free is fine. I eat it often--10 cal. per serving. Has occasionally saved my sanity. :D |

| I'm from England too (but I'm living in the states at the moment) and yes, what we call jelly in the UK is what they call jello in the US. So this sugar free jelly sounds absolutely fine. Are you in England at the moment though? Because my experience of English jelly was that it always came in those cubes. I much prefer it to this powdered stuff I'm finding in America.... |

| I love the jelly cubes you can get in England....especially the blackcurrant ones! I was born in England but raised in Canada, but as a kid, I remember eating the jelly cubes right from the package...hehehe...I won't do that now though, I would rather dissolve them and eat them properly (if I could get my hands on them...too bad Marks and Sparks closed down!) |

the SF jelly is supposed to be avoided in P1. You can use it in P2, but if you use it sparingly enough, go for the real thing. There are SOO many additives and things I can't pronounce in the SF one.
I found at the organic/green market in nyc, there are farmers/etc that make NSA jelly and there are NO additives in there. When I finish the nasty Smucker's SF jelly, I'm going to invest in the natural ones. |

| Welcome to global beach misunderstanding. Jelly is indeed our Jello just like a biscuit is a cookie. Sugar free Jelly is fine please remember to count it in your sweet treat allowance but enjoy. If you get the crystals and not the cubes you can also flavor your ff plain yogurt with them. Good luck. |

| Hi Ph.D. 2 B...thanks for the tip, I never thought of using the crystals in my yoghurt! (another difference...Americans spell yoghurt without an "h" whereas us Canucks spell it with one!) |
