Hot chocolate

I just wanted to make sure hot chocolate was considered a fluid.  I have been drinking SF Swiss Miss with milk and it just feels me up a bunch. I wanted to make sure it was ok.

I've been looking for a SF hot chocolate!  I have only found no sugar added.  So Swiss Miss makes a SF huh?  I'll have to find it. I hope someone posts that it's ok to drink!  lol Jacqui

I found mine at Walmart, they have a diet brand and a SF brand, I believe.

We have Swiss Miss here at the house and its the no added sugar and its way to sweet for me.  I can only use 1/2 of an envelope when I make it....

but it is good....lol

i have tried that too-i used water with mine and i agree it does feel u up quicklly-how are things going for u jenn? im ok except started experencing real bad pain in my upper stomach kept me up all night and still have it today and bright orange urine too going to see dr today --how much have u lost ?

I am doing really well.  I do admit I am slacking on getting my fluids, but I must be just getting enough in to get by. I also need to increase the exercise. I am waiting on my dad to put the treadmill together he just bought, so I can go everyday on my lunch to my parents house and use it...lol!  I am trying to do the Biggest Loser exercise video.  I have lost around 35-40 I would say. My last doc visit I had lost 30 and that was in November.  I hope nothing is wrong with you.  Let us know as soon as you find out.

Yes, it is a fluid and if you make it with milk you get extra protein in that way. 8 g of protein per 8 oz milk!

...but...if you make it with milk, it is no longer calorie free and while it counts as protein, doesn't as 'liquid'.  'Liquids' are to be like water...sugar-free, carbonation-free, caffiene-free, and calorie-free (or VERY low in calories). Skim milk is a terrific source for protein though! And with added SF chocolate? Can be a yummy one too. SF Hot Chocolate is fine. If you're doing great in the protein department but not in the water one, try mixing it with water instead. Myself, it's just too rich if it's mixed in milk. Sherri

Sherri, So you are saying if I make it with milk, I shouldnt count it as a fluid.  I use skim milk.  It is really rich with milk, I do agree with you on that.

Jenny, Correct... If you make it with milk, count it as protein. If you make it with water, count it as fluid. Sherri
