Best Diet Food Ever

You could spend a fortune on diet aids that make you feel fuller for longer or you could discover sugar free jelly. At about .75p for two sachets that make up to two pints and only 9 calories per quarter pint helping, you'll find it a real fridge friend. It's great after a meal as a quick desert but even better when you have sweet cravings and go on the hunt for that 'something' to hit the spot. Popular brands come in several flavours so there is good variety. Try it, you won't regret it.

    But jelly with sugar in it is so delicious.

    I keep sugar free jelly in the fridge and put a spoonful in my oatmeal as flavoring sometimes.

    I used to eat sugar free everything all the time because it was all less calories, then I figured out some of it is not sugar free after all because it's sweetened with fruit sugar. Now. I only buy sugar free anything if I find it tasty. I'm glad you found something you like, which is what helps us stick to a calorie deficit. :)

    I haven't eaten jelly in forever but I remember for a change I used to make it with a tiny little bit of boiling water, enough to make sure it dissolves properly then quark cheese ...makes a delicious low cal blancmange which has a slightly more satisfying feel to it

    I'm sensing that Jelly in the UK is different than the US. Here we put it on toast, muffins, pancakes, etc. In the UK it is a desert?

    I keep a bottle of Smuckers Boysenberry sugar free in the fridge. I don't eat a lot of bread, but when I feel like it, I like this jelly.

    I think UK jelly is US jello. US jelly might be UK jam.

    Oh, I LOVE So Delicious Coconut Milk vanilla ice cream bars-150 calories for one. I also like most kinds of ice cream/frozen deserts that are lactose free (since I can't do lactose), except for Artic Ice. I hate that stuff.

    Your jelly is our jam

    You wouldn't make jam up to a pint so I figure OP is a Brit :)

    I read the OP and thought she was talking about Jell-O which I love then it said jelly which I don't like. But it's really Jell-O? I'm confused.

    Yeah, it's Jell-O.

    Now I've got this craving for jello--the kind mom used to make when I was a kid.

    My mother used to pour milk over top of black cherry jello-o. I... never understood that.

    The thought of that puts a knot in my stomach!
