We've had one for several years and started checking the sugar content on everything when dh was diagnosed as diabetic. We were really surprised at how low the sugar content was on soda stream - 3.5g/100ml compared to the 7.6g/100ml of the cordial. So he can have it without feeling too guilty...and prefers it without additives anyway. And I can tell you that it you use fizzed water in your pancake mix, they turn out really, really fluffy.<br /><br />And I'm about to start the 5:2 diet. I think I can handle the fasting days as there are times where I eat very little during the day, and many times when I eat from boredom or habit. Not sure if it will have the effect of making me constantly think of food, but I do think it is a "sensible eating plan" I can adopt on an ongoing basis. (Even the very word "diet" sets me up for failure....) And I wouldn't mind knowing which app you are using to count the calories. :)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335390760156436642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-60213515539652152002014-03-26T15:09:11.747+11:002014-03-26T15:09:11.747+11:00Mary, beating the Hunger is SO HARD.

Just don't ask me to do anything complicated or think-y on a fast-day. Fixit is not struggling as much as I, but he has always had more stamina. <br />CxStomper Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038937073264645029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-63370928925515769312014-03-25T07:17:58.166+11:002014-03-25T07:17:58.166+11:00oh the stress of being a parent to soda stream or ...oh the stress of being a parent to soda stream or not...motherhood and guilt...seems like you have it all sorted and sound like a wonderful mum..have a wonderful day margieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-8349352598542262772014-03-24T11:54:47.019+11:002014-03-24T11:54:47.019+11:00I mostly use my sodastream to make the soda and th...I mostly use my sodastream to make the soda and then I drink it with Bickfords lime cordial, which is my drink of choice. It's still not sugar-free but it's got much less crap in it. Even a cordial I think is generally better than the extra sugary sodastream syrups, which I can't say I really like at all. It is very fun to make the soda, though! Would a similar less-sugary cordial, or even a fruit juice, be an ok substitute?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-16047570180601450962014-03-21T13:37:47.028+11:002014-03-21T13:37:47.028+11:00I suppose fizzy drinks are very enticing for the y...I suppose fizzy drinks are very enticing for the young. I have only sparkling mineral water, which is much nicer than natural un-fizzy variety - and why pay extra instead using the tap water. The diet sounds rather daunting. Good luck with it.persiflagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161607100227748374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-69987414397372217392014-03-21T10:14:30.701+11:002014-03-21T10:14:30.701+11:00We got a soda stream for Christmas and just use co...We got a soda stream for Christmas and just use cordial with it - not the syrups.

It is possible I will go better on it once I get a few kilos off my gargantuan girth. For now I am avoiding chocolate and will introduce other small changes as the weeks go on. Oh it is all such a pain.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578720378832806483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-61280130853625553322014-03-19T20:34:46.230+11:002014-03-19T20:34:46.230+11:00We use our Soda Stream just to make soda water... ...We use our Soda Stream just to make soda water... with tap water and none of the syrups.
