Good luck!
That's what I was thinking... The info on the main screen would say only 1 carb, but then I would look at the actual nutrition info and it would say something like 19 carbs. I know they're subtracting all the sugar alcohol and fiber and stuff, but the math just seemed a little screwy to me. ("Like making a deal with the devil" I know Atkins himself has said.)

Georgiana~ I'm in extended induction, which I'm tailoring to my individual needs, more like OWL, but not as permissive.

I'm definitely not looking for a way of life here, but a way to deal with that candy bar craving with out the 80 grams of carbs that come with it. It would only be a once in a blue moon thing, but I see that they're not really popular here.

Thanks again.
