Frankly, no. I disagree.

The low carb products coming out don't have the same kind of insulin producing effect on my body and so I don't get the spikes and valleys I did before. So I have no problem not over-eating them. But they provide me with some nice variety.

I think the low-carb substitutes are going to help a lot of people, especially those who aren't talented cooks, with the monotony of eating low-carb.

Personally, I'm standing on the side-lines cheering everyone on and whatever works for them. For myself, I enjoy the low-carb products and intend to use them. If I find myself over-indulging, well... that will probably be a product I won't take home any longer.

IMHO there's a BIG difference between the low-fat products, like Snackwells, and the low-carb stuff. One I couldn't control myself on, the other I can.

But fortunately, I'm a pretty good cook and I'm actually managing to make a lot of my own low-carb substitutes. And they're made with very healthy ingredients.
