Specialty "Carbs" --
D-Tagatose or Tagatose: Technically a Sugar, but only partially absorbed...Claims to have to have little to no negative effect on Blood Sugar. The part which is absorbed is burned before fat and though I have not heard anyone say it stalled them [yet,] it could lead to stalling if overconsumed.
Glycerine: Listed as a Carb, but technically an Alcohol. Has 4-5 kcal/g, and is absorbed, but has very little negative effect on Blood Sugar [for most folks.] Is burned before fat and thus stalls some folks.
