I've had a look because these sounded familiar...

BLI or Better Life Institute is partnered with (what used to be called) AmWay... good quality products but buying direct may not be an option. Very probably distributor-sales only.

To get at the detailed nutritional info, one needs to register at the website (free sign-on). This info should be run through the "Hidden Carb" calculator available from our Tools item on the orange menu bar above...

An example would be the Trim Advantage Orange Cream Protein Bar:

Well, there's a reason they taste so good. There's QUITE a collection of carbs and "sugar alcohols" in there. I do give them credit for putting them on the label, though.

Hope this helps.
