No Snacks, no sweets, no seconds. Except on Days that start with S. Too simple for you? Simple is why it works. Look here for questions, introductions, support, success stories.
I probably would count it as a sweet. The same as a sugary latte. I know it sucks, I would love to eat granola bars and stuff for breakfast but it's hard to find good tasting ones that don't have chocolate in them!
When sugar is the second ingredient, and corn syrup solids is the third, I'd say that's a bit too sweet for me on an N day.
Also, my aunt used to drink those when she was trying to regain to a healthy weight after being very ill. So, in my head, they are for people trying to gain weight.
