This time of year at the stores(dollar tree,target,kmart,walmart,etc) they have popscicle tray forms.They are about $1 and make 4.
Have your kids pick their favorite sugar free soda and fill them up and freeze them.Kids of all ages love these!
My grandson was just here and he is one so he was teething so these really helped!
Also in the stores is sugar free snowcone flavor syrups.they are wonderful and 0 carb!You don't need a snowcone machine just crushed ice.i bought strawberry,watermelon, pina colada,and cherry.(Don't store them in a sunny window though or they lose the color.) Great summertime treats kids can make themselves 0 sugar and 0 carb!

Okay need feedback...............

I have to admit I was very skeptical when I saw these breads come out. Several other bread companies have sent us samples of their low carb breads and in every case they have not been able to account for their net carbs. Usually all it takes is a look at the ingredient list and you know its untrue. At Fat to Skinny we are very particular about recommending products because not only do we work with type2 diabetics we also work with type 1 diabetics. The problem with alot of these companies that they don't understand, is when products are mislabeled a person that is a type 1 diabetic is not able to take the correct amount of insulin and that can cause problems. Below is my review for Bistro Breads by Dixie Diner.

I was contacted by a couple of ladies here on the forum asking me about these breads.So Doug called Dixie Diner and had some samples sent over. I have to admit i was VERY SKEPTICAL! They arrived and the first thing I noticed was the smell when I opened the box.It smelled so good.We are in the Florida Keys were it is very hot so i was shocked they were not moldy because i knew there were no preservatives. I also noticed how heavy they were.
I immediately put them in the fridge per instructions.The first bread i tried was the Flax and Millet.(one net carb per serving)It had a very nice taste.Very sweet.

The second bread I tried was the old fashioned white bread this was also very good.(2 net carbs per serving)I toasted a piece and it reminded me of homemade bread.

The third and my absolute favorite is the RYE bread.(2 net carbs per serving)i also toasted this bread and the smell and consistency reminded me of my homemade rye bread, very fragrant! It made me want a corned beef sandwich!(after i write this review i am going to the grocery store for the corned beef)
I think all 3 of these breads will be a nice addition to your Fat to Skinny Plan. I think however next time I order these breads i will slice them when they arrive and freeze them in their bags and take them out when I need them, they are very filling. That way you also have a consistant carb count because you are not picking on them throughout the day.I also think for you readers that don't want to bake bread or don't have the time, this is a good solution.Very Good Product!
