I asked the nutritionist on the Medifast website about the Walden Farms & DaVinci Syrups. I thought it might interest some of you. Here was my question:

I have been told a few products are ok to use. I just want to make sure I have been told correct.

Walden Farms makes sugar, fat, carb, & calorie free fruit spreads and salad dressings. They make more but I just want to know about the fruit spreads and salad dressing. Are these ok to use? I use the fruit spread on top of my oatmeal cookies or oatmeal muffins I make. Is there a max amount of time I should use them a day? If it is free of sugar, fat, carbs & calories I assume it would be ok to use for every meal if I wanted (I don't do that though).

I use the sugar free DaVinci syrups in my shakes and sometimes add some to cookies or the muffins I make. Is that ok? Is there a limit to this as well?

Thank you for your time and answers.


Here is the answer:

You can use up to 4 tbsp of sugar-free syrups. We recommend that you use the Walden Farms products in moderation, not on all your Medifast meals and the lean and green meal.

Hi loriannk,

I'm from Québec, Canada and I can't seem to find these products anywhere...

Any TRUSTED place I can buy this from online?

[Unca_Tim]

Hi Hype,
Good seein' you.

They do have a website at:
waldenfarms dot com

Dunno, if they're available anywhere else on the net.

Are torani Syrups just as good???

Walden Farms online

DaVinci Syrups

Hope that helps. I found the Walden Farm products at the local Pick n Save but had to order the DaVinci online as no one carried them.

I think the sugar free Torani syrups are the same as DaVincis.

I personally don't like the Torani syrups as much as DaVinci. When I was on vacation, I brought along Torani hazelnut syrup for my cocoa because I found it in a smaller bottle. I kept wondering why my cocoa didn't taste very good, and then realized that was the only difference.

I get some DaVinci at TJ Maxx, but they only carry a few flavors, so the rest I get at the DaVinci site. Very reliable, and their shipping is superfast.

The DaVinci Syrups are fantastic to buy from their official website. Just put it into your favorite search engine and go to the one that is obviously their homepage.

Just make sure that you ABSOLUTELY like the flavors you're getting, or have a pretty good leaning toward it. They're not expensive..something like $7.50 per bottle, but when the bottles arrive, they're packaged like wine bottles! You get a HUGE wine bottle sized container of your syrups! I ordered 4 bottles to change up things, and I could distribute the stuff, it will last so long. However, I love my butterscotch, caramel and peanut butter syrups! My hubby loves the peppermint.

Enjoy!

I havne't really been a huge fan of any of the DaVinci products except for caramel. I didn't like the peanut butter, vanilla, or gingerbread flavors.

[DogMa]

Eyew, I don't like any of those flavors. But I run through the hazelnut and toasted hazelnut in no time (great in cocoa or pudding). Along with the toasted marshmallow (for cocoa), caramel (for apple-cinnamon oatmeal and sometimes banana pudding) and blueberry (for vanilla-berry oatmeal).

Ooh, and last night I put a little raspberry syrup (some other company's product that I've had sitting around since Atkins) in my chocolate pudding. I was swooning over it.

A place that I like to order from is <snip>no urls please - Mr. Snippy</snip>
The reason is that they only have a $4.95 shipping fee, so you can order to your heart's content and not worry about racking up the shipping bill. Boy, I like the Chai Tea, the French Vanilla (great in the oatmeal), toasted marshmallow, and toasted hazelnut. Mmm...

OK, I won't write it as a link. The company that I love to buy from is called Netrition. The website is that word with a dot com. Shipping prices are great--one flat fee for as much as you buy.

Thanks for the heads up, Lan. It looks like their prices are a little more competitive than what I've been paying. I'll give it a try.
