00:00How you doing everybody? There's probably not many of us who haven't been on a
00:05diet before or struggled with our weight. And when you're on a diet, well how do
00:13you make sure you do not indulge in sweet things? Because maybe you have a
00:18sweet tooth, maybe that's what caused your problems in the first place. So now
00:23that you're fitter and looking to be following a healthier lifestyle, what can
00:29you eat that's nice and sweet but won't make you fat? Well you gotta understand
00:34why you got fat in the first place. It's because you got in more calories or
00:39kilojoules than you expend through your exercise and your daily activities. In
00:45case you don't know what calories or kilojoules are, it's just to measure
00:49amount of energy you get out of food. Kilojoules is like the metric system while
00:56calories is like, I don't know what, American or something. But yeah, anyway one
01:02of the things you can eat that has very few calories or even zero kilojoules is
01:09sugar-free jelly. Here's an example that I picked up at the store. I made it today so
01:18I want to taste it out. How nice is it and how good is it? This is, let's first look at
01:23packaging. It says they are simply delicious zero. I suppose zero kilojoules
01:30or zero fat in it. Lime jelly, vitamin C enriched, diabetic friendly, run, walk for
01:36life, sugar-free, fat-free, free food, eat as much as you like. I take it it's because
01:44it's kilojoule free or fat free or something. So you can literally eat a lot
01:50of it before it will have any effect on your weight. Let's see what else is there.
01:55Approved by Center for Diabetes. Approved as part of the Heart and Stroke
02:01Foundation Eating Plan. Allow mehadrin, whatever that is. Simply delicious lime jelly.
02:11No refrigerated, no refrigeration needed. Suitable for vegetarians. Gelatin free,
02:17tartarsine free, no preservatives. 8 grams. Sugar-free, fat-free, directions. Pour jelly
02:24into 100 milliliter of cold water and stir until dissolved. Add 400 milliliter boiling
02:31water and stir. Place into serving dish or mold. This is an unlimited food as part of a
02:36low calorie weight reducing diet. Enjoy. Yeah you see this they say you can eat unlimited amounts of
02:44it. Obviously you can only fit so much into your body before you burst. But yeah they mean you can
02:50eat a lot of it before you will get fat. No refrigeration needed. Allow to cool at room temperature.
02:58Ingredients. Yeah you can pause the video and read that if you want. I'm not going to do that now.
03:05Nutritional facts. Our concentrated 8 gram sachet makes 5 servings. Per 100 milliliter serving.
03:15What is this now? Oh the energy. Calories. 2.5. Oh that's per 100 milliliter. Oh kilojoules is 10.
03:23Calories is 2.5. Total carbohydrates 0.35 grams. Dietary fiber, vitamin c, sugar, zero protein, zero fat, zero
03:34cholesterol zero. Nothing on this side. Manufactured by Lollicel. Pty limited trading as simply delish.
03:46Norwood, Johannesburg, South Africa. Product of South Africa. And there's the barcode if you want to scan it.
03:53Okay now I didn't read the instructions before I made it.
03:57So they say here you should start with 100 milliliter of cold water. Stir until dissolved and then add 400
04:05milliliter boiling water and stir. So in other words you can make 500 milliliters or half a liter
04:12with this whole sachet. Okay what it looks like is this. You take it out and it's like in a little foil
04:21bag. I cut it open and poured it in this green bowl. I already made it as you can tell. Unfortunately
04:30I only bought one pack otherwise I could have used another one as a demonstration now because I knew
04:39it was going to take a long time for it to solidify as it cools down. That's why I just went ahead and made
04:45it quickly some hours before this. What I did is I just put put the contents of the sachet into this
04:52green bowl, added boiling water and stirred and then I put it in the fridge. I see here they say
04:58no refrigeration needed but I actually put it in the deep freeze just to speed things along a bit.
05:06I don't know if this is half a liter. I just added until this bowl was almost full. Now you must just
05:13be careful you don't want to add too much water otherwise the taste is going to be very faint
05:17and yeah it's just going to be too watery. It's not going to taste nice and sweet. And you want it to
05:23taste sweet? Even though there's no sugar in it there was other sweeteners in it. What was it again?
05:30Oh it just says here non-nutritive sweeteners. Sodium Cyclemet E952 Aspartame. I don't know if that's
05:40still the sweeteners. No probably not. Okay anyway now as you can see it's quite solid.
05:52Quite solid. Maybe I added a bit too much water for the sachet. Maybe I should have measured it
05:58nicer or more accurately. But all right what is what does it taste like? Let's have a taste of it.
06:10Looks pretty good. Actually that looks pretty good. If it was too much water it would have been very thin.
06:24That's pretty good.
06:30Yeah I could have added a bit less water. This is almost the taste is almost too faint but it
06:37still makes the grade.
06:41Hmm. And yeah yeah. There's a suggestion for you. If you need something sweet while you're on a diet.
06:52I suppose this will do. Quite a nice taste. Just don't add too much water.
06:57I like it yeah. I like it. Just too much water I put in now. Don't put in so much. Otherwise it's gonna
07:09feel like it needs a little bit more sugar or flavoring. What is it? Yeah this is the lime. Oh lime
07:19jelly. It also comes in different flavors. I think the other flavors might be nicer. But this is not bad.
07:27Serving suggestion it says at the bottom. Now what is the serving suggestion? Just add a little bit on
07:32the spoon. How is that a serving suggestion? People always put serving suggestion on the silliest things.
07:40This is a serving suggestion. Or yeah actually serving it. Not having a little bit on a spoon.
07:54Pretty good. One thing I do have against this is that this is actually almost twice as expensive or
08:03even more. Two times or more expensive than just regular sugar containing jelly. Which is a shame.
08:09I would buy this much easier if it was the same price as normal jelly. Or if it was even cheaper.
08:19I would have loved that even more. It feels like it should be even cheaper since it doesn't contain
08:25sugar. Oh but it's probably the artificial sweeteners that cost more than sugar.
08:31Pretty good. Anyway I think I'll eat a little bit more of that. And you please must hit the like and

08:49And yeah let's do this again in another video. Well not the exact same thing. We won't be doing it again.
08:57We'll do something else that's also nice and good. Cheerio for now.
