Welcome, and I bet you are happy you have passed induction! Yes you may have the bars now if you want. But I would not make a habbit of them. They can stall some people, so if you find you are haveing a problem futher down the road you know what to drop. The problem with sugar alcohols is that they now put large amounts in products. When in the past it was ok to subtract them all for a net count, now you would be better off keeping about 1/3 of the alcohol count into your daily count. So if there are 12grams sugar alcohol I would keep 3 of them onto my daily carb count. But if you use products with them as only as a treat now and then you would also be fine.
Me, they run right through! So I don't worry about any of them getting digested
I think celery and peanut butter would be a good snack. Myself I use cream cheese, not a big peanut butter freak. Unless its in a peanut butter cup
Are you suppost to take a day off? No. This is suppost to be a life style change. But we all do mess up once in a while. Some people swear by what they call a "refeed" day. Personally I think they just want to give themselves permission to cheat. I guess its a personal thing. I call it what it is when I do it. I have no problems getting back on program the next day, but if you do keep this in mind. Also it take 3 days for you body to get back into ketosis. So you have to decide it that treat you want is worth three days of progress.
I personally like spag squash, if you go to the recipe section you can find different ways to make it. Actually you can get a lot of great recipe there! And add in new meals will make this lifestyle much more interesting!
