General Discussion / Re: extend bars and net carbs?

Well darn, that is what I suspected- good thing I checked here first!
And IMHO there is no such thing as too much info!
Where are those Quest bars usually sold?

General Discussion / extend bars and net carbs?
« on: September 19, 2011, 12:14:02 PM »
Hoping you guys can help me. I was in Walgreens the other day waiting on a script fill, and happened to notice these bars in the diabetics aisle. They look like they would do "in a pinch", and the ones I saw (peanut delight) claim to be one net carb. BUT, I looked at the product info and it has 20g carb, 5g fiber, 6g sugar alcohols, which does not add up to me. Smaller print on the package says that the net carbs were tallied by also taking total carb count away for the glycerine (3g) and uncooked cornstarch (5g). I was curious to know if this was really the true net carb count or some marketing ploy to sell the bars? Will anyone help me?
If it is truly just one net carb, then I will buy some so I can give u guys a review...

OK, TexasTwinMama, lets talk about this feet kissing thing  :o :o 8)
I guess it depends on if feet are considered low carb  ;D

Thanks Doug, I must have had a total brain freeze... I have no clue why I said 1 net carb when that is obviously wrong :)

Hey! It is La Nouba Chocolate Hazelnut Spread  ;D
And as for those cheesecakes- good golly that is expensive! Better to find your own low carb recipe at that point!

I found this spread when shopping at a store called Sugarless Delite (they also have a website www.sugarlessdelite.com)
It is .75 net carb for 1 tbsp. OMG it is sooo yummy! It takes just like Nutella, although it is not as thick a spread as Nutella. Of course, the price is not exactly cheap, but if you are a Nutella fan, this should really fix up those cravings for you!

Well if I thought it would stay frozen, I would definitely mail some off to you guys. You might want to google and see if there is an ice cream or fro yogurt shop in your area, some of those also carry the low carb ice creams/frozen yogurt.

Product Reviews / Chompies Carb Not Bread- Multigrain
« on: August 09, 2011, 10:18:50 AM »
When I was at Sprouts the other day, I found this bread. It is 1 net carb per slice, so I thought I would give it a shot.
Pros: It has a decent taste to it, and it is very chewy, which is good for those of us who normally "inhale" our bread  ;D
Cons: The chewiness of this bread also means that the texture was different from what I was expecting, so it had a slightly weird "mouth feel" to it
Overall: Although it is more expensive than making bread, and the texture does take some geting used to, I think this is a worthwhile product for those wanting sliced bread who do not have the time to make their own.
