Joseph's Lite Cookies

[therevolvingdiet]

Good Morning,

I am new to this forum and have a question.  I came across Joseph's Lite Cookies in grocery store - being that he is a diabetic (per the packaging) the cookies have 0g Sugar, but 6-9g (depending on product)  of Malitol. 

Are these cookies okay to use as a snack?

Thanks!

Yes they are fine you subtract sugar alcohols . But only use them as  treat because sugar alcohols slow some folks weight loss . If you are just starting out it is best to stay away from sweets at first until you detox .

Also welcome the fist day of your FTS Life !!!!!

What are the carbs on these cookies? LOL -- cookies -- you got MY attention!

I know Murray's sugar free cookies are really high in carbs because of the flour and other ingredients.

I checked out the cookies and found the nutritional labels. There are several flavors and they average 1 to 1 1/2 net carbs each after subtracting the Malitol. Be sure to count them into your daily total

Try these FAT TO SKINNY cookies you'll love em and the entire recipe is only 2 carbs. Be sure to put them into the freezer after they cool.

Thanks, Doug. It's so hard to tell with some of these labels. I swear, I think I'm going nuts. I had made some cookies using IM Healthy soynut butter that claims 1 net carb per serving. I've used it before. Then the other day as I was throwing out the empty container, I SWEAR I saw the label said, "10 carbs, 5 fiber". I was like, "WHAT?" My heart sank. Then last night I looked at a jar on a shelf of a store and it said "6 carbs, 5 fiber". I don't know if I was hallucinating the first time or if somehow I'd gotten ahold of a jar that was misprinted. Talk about a weird moment.  

But alas ... I have Beanit Butter in the house now, so all is good!

I have had the same scenario Rena.I will recommend something then have to go back and retract it! I read ingredient lists.

If you really want to try something good check out the Berrylicious Cheesecake recipe. It's so good and no sugar alcohols.
