Carb-Solutions Bars...Are they all so nasty?
 

I saw the Carb-Soultion bars on tv and was like "Mmm...chocolate chip cookie dough...mmm...." And I found out my fiance's mom had some in the house. (Peanut Butter and Choc along with Toffee Hazelnut or something.) They both taste like crap! :eek: They bothtasted the same...like nasty sawdust. Are there any good low carb sweet snacks that don't taste like wood shop?

If you're on induction, count it as a blessing that you didn't like them. You should try and avoid any of that "frankenfood" stuff as much as possible during induction.

As far as sweet stuff goes, there's tons of options (most allowable past induction)!
- berries (w/ or w/o cream)
- SF/LC candy/chocolate (can stall ppl. and beware of sugal alcohols)
- SF jello (w/ or w/o whipped cream)
- whipped cream w/some splenda and cocoa powder (it's like chocolate mousse)
- LC cheesecake
- Le Carb or Atkins Endulge ice cream
The list could go on forever and ever!!

BTW- I HATE the CarbSolutions bars, Met RX are nasty, but some of the Atkins bars were ok. I just don't seem to have a taste for them.

HTH-

PS- Reese's SF PB cups taste just like the regular ones. Just watch your consumption-- sugar alcohols again. ;)

a lot of the bars are nasty, but I like the "Doctors" brand (I think they are made by "Ultimate Nutrition"). While all of the carb bars have an "off" flavor, these don't seem as bad. My sis had never had carb bars, so I told her about these the other day-----she thought they were actually pretty good. (Just don't bite into a carb bar expecting a candy bar like flavor!).

"Strive" brand is also good---they are crunchy,, and the inside has a rice crispy bar type texture (and flavor a little bit too!).

Glad I didn't eat the whole thing!
