carb free bar
Guys,
Be careful. I don't think that those "carb free bars" are all they're cracked up to be. Look at the total calories per piece for the Daryl Lea bar (40 calories) then for the protein 1g = 4 calories and the 3g of fat = 27 calories then there is still 9 calories missing. Divide 9 by 4 gives you at least 2 grams of carbs. So seeing as there are 6 pieces per bar, that's 12 hidden carbs in the bar? The main ingredient is lacitol, which is an alcohol sugar and has carbs (half that of sugar at the larger estimate to be safe). You're best to stick to a bit of cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
Please inform me of any difference to this for I'm a devoted chocoholic.
If you can eat chocolate in moderation then in Adelaide in David Jones food store, there is a french chocolate ($10.75/100gm block) that is orgasmic chocolate. It's dark chocolate with 24gm of carbs/100gm block (the lowest carb one that I've found yet). It's so rich and dark that you could only eat half (50gm), feel more satisfied than that the Daryl Lea crap stuff, not get the runs for the same amout of carbs!
Hope this helps!
Does anyone know about that carb free or low carb peter's ice-cream that can supposedly be bought at Bi-Lo in Adelaide? Please tell me where.
