Yep, me too. The thing is with this stuff they can get away with saying it's sugar-free or low-carb because of the sugar alcohols. Studies are finding more and more that while those sugar alcohols aren't absorbed as rapidly as sugar (thereby having a lesser effect on blood sugar) they are indeed metabolized. Some are metabolized more than others, and some people metabolize certain ones more than other people do. Basically the only sugar alcohols that don't need counted are the ones that cause stomach upsets and diarrhea because they move through the body (And who wants to eat something that does that to them?). In other words, if on of the SAs doesn't cause misery, you need to count all the carbs.
NKA, it's gotta be water, because a person can't gain that much fat that fast. Just hang in there--it'll go away.
