Werther’s Sugar-Free Candies for controlling that “food-eating frenzy”!

Werther’s Candies  asked me to write a review of their new Sugar-Free line of candies.  So after I tasted all four flavors, I have come to a few tasty conclusions…

Let me start this out by stating that I am a “professional dieter”.  I have literally been on a diet since I was a teenager.  That diet involves doing my best to eat healthy foods and making an honest attempt at getting this “blogger butt” under control.  Lately, I’ve been working out in the company gym during my lunch hour, and the additional exercise makes me extremely hungry by dinner time.

Case in point:

I went to Ladies Night Out with my sister and sister-in-law last week.  I had gone through everything in my lunch bag by 2:30 PM and was digging around in my purse looking for errant mints by five oclock. So by the time I got to the steak place that they had chosen, I was ready to eat everything in sight. I sat down at the table and right in front of me was a bucket full of peanuts.

My memory is a bit blurry after that, but somehow I ended up with a entire plate full of peanut shells before my grilled chicken salad showed up. “Grilled chicken”, you say, “there’s nothing wrong with that!”  Well, maybe if it wasn’t served on a plate the size of a turkey platter! Somewhere through my food-eating haze, I recall bacon bits, two kinds of cheese and croutons.

Sigh… I did get low fat Italian dressing. That’s one point for me, right?

In no time at all, there was nothing left of that salad but a memory. Both my sister and sister-in-law were careful not to get a hand too close for fear of losing it.

My point here?  

If I had some sugar-free Werther’s Candies in my purse to stave off my afternoon hunger, I would have better control of my eating at dinnertime!  Werther’s candies are only 8 calories a piece.  And they taste fabulous!  You would never know that you were eating something that was sugar free!
