I start my pre opt diet on Thursday this week. We are going to the famers market on Saturday. I was wondering if i can get a snow cone while i am there.

There are actually sugar free flavors in snocones these days. Opt for one of those. Most of us were/are allowed sf popcicles and jello, so it would make sense.

m post op and went for one this past week. I bought a small which I didn't even make a dent in but it satisfied so much. At ours, you can buy just the ice and no flavoring too.

Bring some Mio and get a plain sugar-free snow cone. The sugar in the regular would probably make a bit of an impact on your carbs.

What's a health-conscious person supposed to eat at events like these? I've always assumed that Snow Cones were the closest thing to being a dieter's friend, since they're mostly just ice. My body is working so hard to warm up that ice in my stomach, it's probably burning almost as many calories as the Snow Cone contains, right?

Well, that's not quite true. How many calories do you think are in an average 12 oz Snow Cone?

A) 75 calories

150 calories

C) 300 calories

D) 550 calories

The correct answer is D) 550 calories!

That's an average amount, assuming the person making your Snow Cone is generous as they usually are with the syrup. Each ounce of syrup contains almost 100 calories! Realize all 550 calories is carbs.
