Cadbury Lite

[trisharau]

Is Cadbury Lite ok to eat. :q: I found a 75gram bar the other day and it sure tasted like chocolate. I haven't eaten chocolate, sugar, etc in three months :) and with all the easter stuff around :( this bar looked appealing even though I generally don't eat anything with nutrasweet in it. :( It does also list isomalt and polydextrose as ingredients and those look awfully like some sort of sugar to me.

For a 100gram serving total carbs were listed as 7.1 gram and sugars as 5.5 grams. Looks rather high to me. :thdown: Does anyone else eat the stuff or can you offer an opinion on it. :q:

It certainly had quite an laxative effect too. Not that I really mind that on Atkins.

:roll:

Hi there,

I've used cadbury lite a few times. I can only handle about 6 squares otherwise I get a seriously upset tum....quite good really...I don't go and eat too much :o

I think it is ok in moderation but very addictive and could easily turn into a habit! From memory 6 squares works out at about 1.5gr which is o for a quick treat.

Hi Lesley,

You do well with the six squares. Well I scoffed the 75gram block last friday. Then today when I was in town I brought 3 bars :eek: Since then I have eaten all three :o :eek: Maybe once a chocolate addict always one. Amazing as I have had no pull towards chocolate or other sweet stuff for three months until friday (well apart from fruit).

The taste of the chocolate seemed to get worse the more I had this time. I think I have cured my self off the stuff. Anyways will give it a miss in future as I sure cannot have it in moderation! :(

I'm in maintenance, so I can eat a bit more than most. I absolutely love it. I eat about a bar a week. Sometimes two. I haven't been putting on weight with it, but if I was trying to lose weight, I'm sure I couldn't eat it as I couldn't stop at a couple of pieces. It is seriously good stuff. That Darryl Lea rubbish doesn't compare.

I never really craved chocolate before I started low carbing. I think it's because there are so few naughty things I can eat without feeling guilty that I eat so much Cadbury Lite.

I confess I haven't cured myself of the cadbury lite habit that I have acquired over the last few weeks. I ate two bars of it yesterday. It tasted delicious too!! :p

Yes I buy one bar a week. I think the stuff is great! I did go overboard one premenstrual day and ate 3/4 of a bar, with very liquifying results!! So I normally stick with just a row at a time.
