 hwyla 9 years ago | On the personal menu planner 4 oz of wine is a choice under ‘beverages’. It is listed as .5 carb & .5 fat. The same with 7 oz of beer or 1 oz of sweet liquor or 1-1/2 oz of a dry liquor. But a 4 oz of dessert wine is 1 carb and 1 fat. As far as ‘cocktails’ are concerned, I would assume that sodas and diet sodas (presumably with the exception of plain soda water) are out but I guess juices would be counted separately. If the cocktail contains a ‘sugar syrup’ then you would need to determine how it translates to a spoon of sugar – although that doesn’t seem to be listed on the personal menu, except as coconut sugar, yacon or rice malt – so I’m guessing you’d have to make your own syrup out of one of those, since they suggest not using agave. Perhaps you could try a stevia syrup although that would probably mean changing the amount used in the drink’s recipe since stevia is much sweeter than sugar. The article on sugar replacements however does suggest that the idea is to wean oneself off of the sugar/sweeteners as much as possible, so I’m guessing it would be best to avoid the sugar syrups or at least aim to get rid of them. |
