I bout the Russle stover truffles because I used to love truffles. I thought they were to sickingly sweet. They've been sitting in my freezer since.

I also got easily addicted to those sugar free goodies. It was like eating before low carb - I could not resist buying them no matter how much I thought they were bad for me.

I had my husband hide the remaining bag of them because I am startign to stall (have eaten the chocolates a lot longer than the stall though) but I wanted to eliminate anything that might even a little be the cause of it.

Thanks for that tip. I have been having trouble with the SF candy too-can't eat just one for sure. I think freezing them for a while will help me get past them calling to me.

I love those things too. I was in a store in the city and was thrilled to see the Russell Stovers turtles, but have you SEEN the carbs in those things??? It was a LOT!!!! I didn't get it.

I'm so determined to get rid of these last stinkin' pounds, I just don't want to do anything, (aside from tequila) that would slow me down.

Jake; I thank you, once again, for the laugh.

I am so jealous that you are on your way to salzburg!!!!!!!!!! i spent a bit of time there in march and can easily say it was one of the most beautiful cities. those mozart chocs are to die for.....yummmyyy (a choc and a beer on the fortress heavenly).....okay off to dream about salzburg or maybe returning to salzburg thin!!!
enjoy

I bought a carbolite peanut butter cup. After eating half I gave the rest to my 3 year old son. Normally it doesn't bother him. But tonight.............


What a mess

Russel Stover is the devil.....

The toffee sticks, dusted in crushed almonds...:drool:

Where WAS I...<sigh>

I'm in a big-time stall, so I have to say good bye to them for a while. I think for me they trigger those old cravings that did me in during my pre-lc days. I practically binge again except for those dreaded *ahem* sugar alcohol side effects...

Say it ain't so...

These wonderfully yummy RS Mint-Patties with their smooth-creamy dark chocolate and the Minty-Mint to kill the Ketosis breath will cause a stall in my weight loss????

Please...

Thanks....all this talk about RS, now I need to get the mint patty out of the freezer. I love these things!! One just isn't enough.

I posted a thread about my remedy for being addicted to RS (or any other delicious LC chocolate).

I'll repost it here.,....

I am one of those sorry souls whose body treats ALL carbs (including sugar alcohols) as carbs. So, I can't eat those things or I go out of ketosis. So....since I love that chocolate treat, I now make my own truffles. They are about .86 carbs each, and are SOOO good! No sugar alcohols, no hidden carbs.

Hi Louisa,

I'm actually scared to try any of the sugar-free candies in the stores. I've worked too hard to get into ketosis -- I'm not willing to let myself get knocked out of it again.

Anyway, do you have a link for the truffle recipe? I went through PMS cold turkey (meaning, no chocolate) last week and it was super painful so I've downloaded a peanut-butter cup recipe for next month. But truffles sound SO good.

Thanks,
Jeannie

Thanks.... I'm trying to go cold turket for ONE week (one at a time!) and see if there are results....

Weird, we treated ourselves to carbolite ice cream at a local low-carb store DeLites and its been a godsend... Apparently all low-carb stuff is not created equal...
