Is it 75 calories or does it go by sugar or carb content? I have these sugar free popsicles but they have carbs and some sugar in the...how could that be if they are sugar free??? Wierd but true. However they only have 35 calories?

I would love to answer you like I know what I am talking about --- but I don't :)

The book says 75 calories/day of sweet stuff. The fudgsicles that most everyone has are no sugar added -- but they do have some sugar in them --- they are usually, like you say

35 calories so you could really have 2 if you wanted to.

For me --- I just go by what I am feeling and losing weight. I do eat some of the sugar free stuff that count the net carbs --- I just make sure if I have something --- I only eat 1 serving per day - but I know I go over the 75 calories, but I am not binging on anything and I am able to easily stop at the 1 serving so for me this works.

Hopefully someone else will better be able to answer your question.
