Z-Carb chocolate bars

[Michael Tree]

I normally avoid bars like the plague, because many are disgusting, and have way too many sugar alcohols in them for my liking. It seems that marketing is winning over good nutrition, and many manufacturers market bars as low carb even if they have 20g or more sugar alcohols.

However, I love the Z Carb brand of chocolate bars. They're yummy, tasting like fairly high quality dark chocolate or dark milk chocolate. But best of all, this bar had only 4g of sugar alcohols, 9g of fiber, and 0g of other carbs. So even if you count the sugar alcohols as carbs (which I do) it still counts as only 4g. And it's yummy! :yes

I have never heard of these! Where can a person get one?

[Michael Tree]

I've only ever seen them in 7-11 stores. Otherwise it's available online.

The best for you are the Dark Chocolate with Macadamia Nuts, and the Milk Cholocate with Almonds. They have only 4g of sugar alcohols, while the others have 8-9g (which is still very low for a chocolate bar). Unfortunately I just noticed that the chocolate-peantbutter has hydrogenated oil in it (from the PB), so I'm going to avoid them from now on.

I found them at Walmart. They are pretty tasty. I have only tried the milk choc./peanut butter. I miss peanut butter! They give me no stomach problems or scale problems.

Zcarb bars are the absolute best low-carb bars ever. They cause absolutely no stalls or stomach problems, and they taste great. You can get them at Wal-Mart, 7-11, Walgreens.

The Zcarb bars are made with Erythritol which is very different from the other sugar alcohols. From what I've read, erythritol is absorbed very quickly but isn't metabolized. Most of it passes through unchanged in your pee. Because it doesn't make it to the large intestine, there are no digestive issues and because it doesn't metabolize, it has a miniscule glycemic/caloric/ketogenic impact.
