Which is WORSE?

[Dotultimate]

OK, So a heap of people eat the mock danish which has 3.9g if carbs...

thats cool.

HOWEVER everyone slags off the atkins 2g carbs bars constantly saying they cause stalls (not saying they dont, they definately made me stall)

now.... neither is ideal... but which is worse?

Wouldnt it be better to eat the 2carb bar because its lower? Or is it about the sugar alcohol v's other carbs...

is it better to ingest more carbs in the danish as they're BETTER carbs?

I don't think it's the carbs that stall, it's what's in the bars.
With the mock danish you know exactly what you eat and you use only induction legal foods...the bars probably have things in them that you don't know about...maybe it's the kinda sweetener that's used or so but I don't think you can compare those 2.
But it's definitely not about the carb count.

Thanks Sera...

Ha! You're in the same position as me! Lose....go on holiday.... come back re-lose + lose more Where you off to?

look at the carb count without it being a "net carb"

i think you'd be shocked how many carbs youre ingesting.... and those arent minus fibre they're minus sugar alcohols which are very often up for debate in here as to whether they should be subtracted or not.

Yep, I just hope I don't have to re-lose too much
I'll be flying to Greece...considering the summer in Holland can't actually be called a summer, I really look forward to hot, sunny weather and the sea to swim in

If you're like me, your body uses all of the carbs, the sugar alcohols are digested. That makes the real carb count like 28g. For some people the suagr alcohols go dtraight through them, others get absorbed.

How can you tell if your body digests the sugar alcohols???

[Dotultimate]

you dont poo your pants immediately from the sugar alcohols???

but then again... most of us are constipated..so i dont know

Too funny lol

It's not only the garbage ingredients in the low-carb bars, it's the sugar alcohols.

There's no such thing as mythical magical carbs that don't count. Sugar alcohols impact blood sugar. Studies have shown that the sugar alcohols have anywhere from 50-75% the impact that sugar carbs do.

It's a lose-lose deal.
