Sunslyte,
I was like you at first. I really didn't understand the differance in me eating all of the LC convenience foods, but while on the forums I would hear people talking really bad about them. I continued to eat them (Counting all hidden carbs and whatnot) for several months into my new WOL and was quite content. However, I never really experienced the full loss of cravings, but they did go down quite a bit. For the past 2 weeks, I decided to cut out all sugar alcohols (or at least as many as possible) and stop drinking diet sodas. (I also threw in lots of excersize) To be honest with you, I feel 10x better! I can't say that it's the reduction or sugar alcohols or the excersize alone that has helped, but in my opinion it was both.
If you read the posts in this forum it seems to me that the main reason that people tell you to stay away from sugar alcohols is that it causes "stalls" in most people. Everyone's body is differant so you will be able to find out what effects your body and what doesn't.
Hope this helps! Later!
