Carb Solutions Candy Bar
 

Has any tried these Chocolate Almond candy bar from Carb Solutions? Carb Solutins Choclate Almond bars

The box says it has 0 net carbs but it does 12g of carbs in sugar alcohol and contains Sucralose.


They taste way to good to be on the plan.

That is funny, cause everyone else that has had those bars has said they were really nasty. I actually had one that i thought was pretty gross..They say that the cookie dough is ok...But I'd much rather have the Atkins bars....From what I know they are ok for you, but not really smart during the induction phase.

Pure DeLite bars any day !

CarboLite bars taste like the REAL thing. Soooooooo GOOD. Especially the chocolate truffle. Yuuuuummm!! I think I will go to Eckerd's and buy one now.

I actually like the carb solutions bars (chocolate, and the chocolate w/ almonds) also.
I think they taste way too good for no carbs!

I do LOVE carbolite bars (carmel, and the nuget!!)

Carb Solution Bars
 

Well I happen to agree..I wrote last week about how I enjoyed them...and I think I got laughed at by many people. Oh well..I guess everyone has different taste. They wouldn't be my #1 choice of chocolate...but for low carbing they will do for me! :)

The CarbSolutions chocolate bar tastes like the chocolate of those cheap hollow bunny rabbits my Mom used to buy and put in my Easter basket :D !

I tried some Atkins bars last week & 99% of each bar I tried hit the trash! Those were the most disquisting bars I have ever tasted! The Carb Solutions bars taste great! If you like it, go for it!

good carbs vs. bad carbs
 

what are these carbs in sugar alcohol? I thought carbs were carbs. I have been on the diet for almost 1 week and have lost 10 pounds so far. But I do get a hankering for something sweet and sugar free jello only tastes good for so long. Can someone please explain?

There's a great article, over on the right under Quick Links, where it's all explained already: "The truth about Sweeteners". Also available under Tips on the orange Toolbar above. Matter of fact, there's a ton of info under Tips for new folks.

Welcome.

thanks again
 

that really helped and I will do as you suggest. I have read Dr. Atkins book a couple of times but do not recall the info about sugar alcohols and from what I remember, his book had said that aspartime was ok. I had tried this diet before and lost 30 pounds but got lazy and so tired of eating meat and eggs. But that was about 5 or so years ago and there wasn't as much info and choices for the diet back then.

Sorry, it HAS to be said..
 

I've been forced to re-name them "Constipation Solutions"...

too funny
 

that was pretty funny, hopefully they won't do that to me. I will wait for awhile though just in case. :angel:

I have read the book & reference it quite a bit myself. Aspertame is not okay. It affects your blood sugar. You really should avoid sugar-free Jell-O and diet soda. On the other hand, if you are using aspertame-containing products & still losing weight, you are one of the lucky ones. Some people get nowhere losing weight using foods/beverages containing that sweetner & have had to abandon it all together. Personally, I don't consume anything with aspertame just in case. I tried when I first started the diet and was drinking diet pop & ate sugar-free Jell-O but wasn't seeing the results I wanted so I quit consuming it & started losing weight. It just varies from person to person and I think the general rule of thumb is to do whatever works for you while dieting.

Good Luck,

I just found some at Big Lots for $0.79. The Peanut Butter/Chocolate were really good but my label says 2 Net Carbs.

Also Power Bar has a sugar free Jamoca Almond Fudge, which was yummy!

But my favorite and I am now addicted if the Sugar Free Mint Patties by Russell Stover. Cheapest at Wal-Mart 2/$3, actually all their sugar-free there is cheaper.

I called the Atkin's center the "Malt..." in the sugar-free candies is also a sugar alcohol and ok to deduct from the carb count. Atkin's website has a downloadeable coupon.

Finally, Hershey's has their sugar-free line: Plain, Almond, Special Dark & Reese's cup. The Reese are good and the Special Dark could be chopped up to add to a low-carb cookie recipe.

yummy stuff
 

thanks for the tips on the yummy stuff. :)

I checked the name for the other sugar alcohol and it is called "Isomalt". It seems to be mainly in the SF hard candies.

thanks for the info. :).
Wow Jamaica? That is awesome. You go girl. :wiggle:

i didn't find the coupon on Dr. atkins site. :(

if you can't find it, type "coupon" in the search field and it should take you to it. I found it on the home page towards the bottom. It says "Download Atkins Coupon"

http://atkins.com/

also you can call 800-SOY-MILK for coupons for WestSoy products. Their new Soy Slender's are heaven!

eureka!
 

I found it. I just didn't look down the page far enough.
Thanks a lot. I will definitely use it

Carb Solutions Bar
 

I completely agree with you, Jeason65. I love the Chocolate with Almonds, and I can hardly believe anyone wouldn't like it, especially after choking down an Advantage bar. It's not top quality, but good. I bought 2 at Walmart last week. I started eating it on the way home in the car. After one bite I threw it out the window because it was so good I was positive that the packaging had misled me about the carbs somehow. I didn't eat the second until I did a little research, and I liked what I found.
