I must first say that I do not believe that eating convenience bars is a good idea at all, especially on induction. Try to eat as many whole foods as possible. I avoid sugar alcohols like the plague.

That said, there are no FDA regulations regarding sugar alcohols and carb counts. Therefore, the manufacturers can put on the label that sugar alcohols have 0 net carbs, but that's simply NOT TRUE!!! Sugar alcohols effect different people to different extremes. Some people count all of the carbs from SA, some count 75% and some count 50%. It's definately a YMMV kinda thing. I HIGHLY recommend not eating SA at first starting Atkins. Stick to whole foods, and then later you can work them into your diet if you feel it's necessary.

When you do eat them, count at least 50% carbs from SA. That seems to be the norm.
