Now that we have the wonderful hidden carb counter...

What do you do with all those hidden carbs? Do you go cold turkey and count them all? Or something inbetween?

I was searching for info on poly sugar alcohols, the source of all those hidden carbs and found a blurb about how diabetics could subtract about half of the carbs toward their allotment. Does anyone else do this? I 've just tried to stay away from them while I'm trying to lose, and am more interested in trying them during maintenance. (I'd really like to get a hold of some maltitol to try to make some of my own candy. We have a big family tradition in candy making from several generations and it pained me to no end to think that I had to give that up. But now I'm looking forward to perfecting some of the old family recipes to sugarless ones! )

So what do you do?
