Hi everyone! I'm pretty new here. Just had a questions for you.
I'm so addicted to Coffees. I was up to one like every other day and then was down to once a week. That was at Starbucks and I know their Mocha's are so high in calories and fat.
Anyway, I found this cute little coffee shop and they have a Fat-free Chocolate syrup. Well I asked her how many calories and she told me that it was Fat-free, calorie free and sugar free. The only calories would be from the milk, which I get skim and I don't get a large, I get a 12 oz.
What do you think. Can I trust this? Does anyone know if there is such a thing?
Any input would be appreciated!
:)

Sounds like mumbo jumbo, but if you enjoy it and you only have one every so often, where's the harm?
The only thing I can think of without fat, calories or sugar would be water (and that's not usually very 'syrupy').

| The next time you go in for your treat, ask to see the bottle that it comes out of . . . maybe she 1) thought you were kidding, and was joking with you 2) is slightly stupid and thinks that fat free = calorie free.

Well I did a search and came up with this:
monin.com/us/en/sugarfree.html
I don't know if its the same, or if it's good for you, but I guess I can ask. Then she'll think that I don't believe her. But I don't want the hidden calories. I would rather have it every blue moon and know what I'm having.
Anyway, thanks for the advice.

I was really addicted to Starbuck's Mocha Frappacino's and I have discovered that they have a light version so I am able to treat myself occassionally without feeling guilty. Maybe they have (or can make) a light version of your favorite drinks too?

They use artificial sweetners (like I do here forum14/1296.html) but unlike me they obviously they don't use cocoa powder - perhaps they just use chemicals that simulate chocolate flavour (like the do in coffee/vanila essence products) thus further saving on the calories?
