O Carv Candy!
 

Just came back for The Wal-Mart, they didn't have any Atkins candy bars left. So I tried something different! Carbolite bars, I tried the toffee bar. No one saw me spitting it out of my mouth :D . And best yet they have 15 Tatal Carbs, and 15 Sugar Alcohols, canceling out each other! I FOUND A GOOD CANDY BAR WITH NO CARBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just a bit happy over this one, with Easter coming and all. Of, incase you wanted to know, there were 96 cents a bar.

Glad to know
 

I was wondering where to find those. They didnt have them at my whole foods store, and everyone raves about it.

YEA!!!!

I was not aware carbs and sugar alcohol cancel each other out. I thought only fiber cancelled out carbs. Woohoo!

Somehow I thought sugar alcohols were bad too - I don't eat any diet products so I've never checked it out but I THINK they are bad.

Here's a link that has information about sugar alcohols, if you do a search -keyword sugar alcohol - subject - thread you will find lots of threads on them - lots of people find they mess up their weight loss.

The Carbolite bars aren't bad at all. I think the Pure De-Lite bars are much, much better, though...along with Dr. A's Peanut Butter cups...lol. I try to stay away from them, though, because I'm trying to stick with a clean induction until I move to owl in a few months. Every so often I've let myself have, but if I have them in the house, I tend to eat them.

As far as the sugar alcohols...they did cause a laxative effect once and I was so sick and swore I would never have anything like that again. I have nibbled on them since (the Russell Stovers) with no problem. I think the key is to not go overboard and eat four at a time...lol.

It is true that sugar alcohols can cause some people to stall, I am just hoping that I am not one of those people! At least one every several days shouldn't do to much damange (crossing fingers).

And as far as a laxative effect, once in a while on the Atkins diet that can be a need benifit ;) Yet it has not effected me that way as of yet.

Pure De-Lite bars
 

Hi - I am new to this forum but have been following conversations for a while. I have been on Induction for almost 3 weeks. Lost 9 lbs. I bought Atkins Bars at Herbies (Canada) for 1.99 (on sale) real cheap. My question is can you get the Pure De-Lite bars in Canada...lol. I live near Niagara Falls :daze:

DonnaH, I don't know if you can get them in Canada, but if not, just cross over into Buffalo and pick some up at Walmart :) I'm not too far from you over here in Rochester.
