Question:
Cool Whip Free is South Beach Diet recommended, but will eating it slow weight loss?
I'm more than one month post-op and until recently have not had any cravings for sweets. Now I'm getting cravings again and bought some Cool Whip Free the other day. It has no fat and 1 g sugar, so I thought it would be ok. But I don't want to tell myself it's an "safe" option if it will slow down or stop my weight loss. Any help is much appreciated! — Jean_H (posted on September 5, 2007)

I use it, it's fine, don't have more than a few tablespoons. I like to add
it to pudding. You are experiencing head hunger not cravings. Cravings
don't return for a long long time. There are some recipes with cool whip
for bariatric patients using cottage cheese and pudding powders.

I trick my mind by doing 2 things, I eat Instone high protein pudding, it
comes in Banana cream, Vanilla, or chocolate, it has 20 gms of protein, 100
calories. The other thing that I do is add sugar free liquid coffee syrup
in my protein drinks such as kahlua flavor, hazelnut, etc... they come in
all sorts of flavors, davincigourmet.com is an example of a website that
sells different sugar free flavors. I wish you the very best, you can do
it! Michael

The interesting thing about SF coolwhip is that it is sugar free for the
serving size the suggest (what 1-2 tbsps?) but the first ingredients it
high fructose corn syrup.. its misleading. Any more than the "serving
suggestion" will provide you sugar.. I hate that they can label this
stuff "sugar free". Also I can't believe its not butter spray
and Pam cooking spray.. yes it is fat free if you stick with the serving
suggestion which is a small amount.. any more you are adding fat. I know I
was upset when I learned this also! Marketing stuff can suck sometimes!
Good to be educated though!
