Cambridge and oxo cubes???

Sorry if this comes up twice - i wrote this this morning and it didnt appear on the forum.

Im on day 2 of Cambridge and already fed up of water!!! I have heard that vegetable oxo cubes are allowed as a drink - anyone else heard of this?? dont want to have them if they would bring me out of ketosis!!

Oxo?

Hi,while you are on your diet,you might try salt reduction....oxo is high in salt,try kallo yeast free stock cubes or just bouillion stock cubes
good for adding lovely flavours or just having a hot different drink...hope all goes well,have only just joined.x

Hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm

Hi,

Thats a strange one, ive not heard of oxo cubes being aloud. Check to see is there are any carbs in them, if there isnt then i guess it should be okay and would not take you out of ketosis.

Have you checked with your advisor?

Why do you get some of the powder mix for your water, you can get it off your advisor, ive got the sunshine orange and berry which are really nice.

Argh - went and checked oxo cubes - they do contain carbs

Lie, damned lies, and carbs...

Cambridge offer a Vegetable Soup, but if you look at the numbers:

Energy 260 249kcal
Protein 16 10.9g
Carbs 40 44g
of which sugar 12 2.9g
Fat 4 3.3g
of which saturates 0 1g
Fibre 0 0.9g
Sodium 7.2 14.2g


and...

CambridgeOXO Chicken
per 100ml

Energy 5 9kcal
Protein 0.3 0.4g
Carbs 0.8 1.5g
of which sugar 0.2 0.1g

of which saturates 0 0g

Sodium 0.1 0.49g


The cubes ARE Higher in Carbs, but if you don't "Go Nuts" on them, once you are in Ketosis, you should have an issue.

We are wanting to lower the carbs as it is difficult to completely eliminate them.

Good Luck,
