Can low carb products cause a weight gain? How much sugar alcohol can you eat so you don't gain weight. I am just curious for the future. I am also wandering what experience people had with low carb bread and flax-o-meal hot cereal (they do not have any sugar alcohols just fiber). Do I have to worry only about sugar alcohols or does fiber work in similar way? And lastly anyone tried flax-o-meal granola. It is so good but it has 10 gr. of maltitol per 0.5 cup.
