 | Hi, CGS64. Absolutely! The trick is to not overdo – 4-5 fluid ounces (130 ml) of dry wine is considered to be a portion size – and to fit it into your menu. It is considered 1 carb + 1 fat exchange, and you can see the exchanges you are allotted by clicking on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu in the Menu Planner application. |
 | Is it okay to have a glass of wine? |
| | Hi, Tasmithwfwf. We don’t recommend readymade diet beverages because they use artificial sweeteners, which can work against your efforts here. You would be better off making your own with plain carbonated water, squeezes of fresh lemon or lime or a couple of drops of natural flavor extract (“cola” does exist!) and a high-quality natural low-carb sweetener such as Stevia and/or erythritol. |
 | Are diet colas ok to drink? |
| | Hi, Johayes77. We don’t recommend Slim Line because it contains artificial sweeteners that can work against your efforts here. I suggest to seek a sugar-free tonic water with a high-quality sweetener such as Stevia (for example: http://zevia-white.hark.bz/flavors/tonic-water). |

 | Hello, can you have slim line tonic water? |
| | Hi, Happy2017. Stevia is an herb with a high degree of natural sweetness that is used as a no-carb sweetener. You can read more about it here: http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/natures-garden-stevia-60017682. |
 | Hi all…may I just ask what stevia is?..as I have never come across it before. |
| | Hi, Chrissie. We wouldn’t recommend those because they use artificial sweeteners, which can work against your efforts here. You’ll get a lot more benefit out of steeping cut fruit in water like tea and adding a better sweetener like Stevia or erythritol (or even xylitol). |
 | Is Robinsons squash ok to drink in each of the 8 glasses of water please? |
| | Hi, cef. What is the brand name of the drops? What are the ingredients? |
| | Hi, sk8ingchamp. Stevia is excellent. |
