    So I keep going over the quit plan book and it had in there that David gave his kids BBQ Shapes, I inspected the packet twice and sugar is in the list of ingredients and fairly high up so im confused I thought we were to refrain from sugar in the list of ingredients, I also noticed the same thing with the Go Natural and Carmans Fruit Free musli bars to say the least! 
    Would someone mind clarifying for me please.

    P.S.  I just bought a cuisinart icecream maker to try out some icecream and gelato for my son.  Hopefully its a nice treat.

    All muesli bars are likely to be bad.  I struggled to find a sugar free muesli ( and then didn't end up eating it ), so bars for kids without sugar - not likely.  I know that other people have talked about things David said and where they found the ingredients were not what he seemed to be saying, my advice is, don't treat the book like the Bible, if David ate something, that doesn't mean you shouldn't check the label, he may have missed something or the ingredients may have changed.

    An ice cream maker is lots of fun, you can make really nice ice creams really cheaply and make any flavour you want.  I travel to the US four times a year with work and they have lots of flavours that you don't see here ( esp the Ben and Jerries, which you can't get in Tassie ), and we grow berries, too, so in the summer, I make all sorts of weird flavours ( although I don't make it every night, esp now that I'm sugar free, I would agree with the book that a sugary treat IS a treat, not something you eat every day )

    Muesli bars are actually very interesting along with some very tricky wording.  They will claim to be natural and some won't even contain sugar.  however to get the oats etc to cling together so tend to use honey, golden syrup, or molasses. I don't buy those shapes biscuits often, I go for rice crackers kids seem to like them better.

    While in the US I went to a big organic superstore ( I forget the name but it's a chain ).  I found soft drink made with stevia ( horrible metallic taste ) but sugar free muesli was next to impossible, although I did find one.  But, the number of different ways they listed sugar was pretty amusing.  Not one had the word 'sugar' on it.
