As I'm sure you guys know - the more fiber something has, the lower in points it is. One shot of liquor is about 90 colories. If you mixed it with one of those fiber-water drinks - with at least 4 grams of fiber in it - you could drink twice as much alcohol for the same amount of points, right? Is this cheating or fair game? Don't you think WW does something similar to get fiber into their ice cream? Let me know what you guys think please!

Unfortunately, I don't think it works that way.



I think fiber just improves the quality of your points.



One 3 pt serving of cereal with fiber is better ( and probably smaller )



that a 3 pt serving of cereal with no fiber.



But when it comes to booze....a shot is a shot.



Just my opinion.

Yeah, you might be right. That's what everyone I've talked to is saying. Unfortunately!

This was asked at a WW meeting I went to and adding those supplements to foods doesn't change the points values...

Really? But isn't that what WW does to their ice cream? I mean, how else would they get fiber in it? It's not fair! I guess I'll just have to drink in moderation.

Unfortunately, I think they are right... but that is truly and AWESOME question! I just wish I would have thought of that creative idea! Next time I go to the bar I'm gonna ask for a Vodka and Metamucil just so see what they say LOL I think we should all try it and if we ask enough, maybe they will start serving it

Haha! Well, I was thinking more of the times when my friends and I drink before we go out, but hey, you never know! I just hate the fact that one little shot is two points! I thought I came up with a genius idea, but everyone I talked to doesn't support it! And what fun is "drinking in moderation"??!!! Not very much Rev, not very much.

I hear ya! It's hardly worth drinking at all more often now it seems. So even if there are days here and there out of moderation, those days being further apart means less calories in a week! That's how it helps me anyway... sometimes I save my extra points if I know I'm gonna go out once or twice in a week. 35 points is like 17.5 shots... that's how I see it, sometimes

I just had to quit drinking. I'm an "all or nothing" kind of gal, and the "all" wasn't helping me meet my weight loss goals!!

But an INTRIGUING discussion! Michelle, I vote you try it for a couple of weeks and see if it works!! I'll be the first one in line with my metamucil!!
