These "hidden" carbs do effect me. If you are in the early stages of a LC program, I recommend that you stay clear of these until your system is "flushed". My first LC experience was that I needed to strickly limit my carbs for 6 weeks before my system and metabolism GAVE IN, as I call it. After that point, the protein bars were a welcome snack.

Other things that my cause you to stall are foods and drinks that contain citric acid (diet sprite, Koolaid, jello). This was another item I had to cut out during my first 6 week.


Happy Loosing!
