Hi,


My hubby brought home some Slimfast low carb bars, I dont think we can eat them.


They say they have a *net carb of 2grms per bar. But the total carbs are 17grms, and sugar alcohol is 14grms, no fiber, and other carbos are 3grms. protein 16 grms.


What do you think? I don't understand the sugar alcohol thing, perhaps someone could enlighten me! LOL! And I know its not on the foods to enjoy, but then some of the things that people are saying is ok aren't on there either. I guess the Dr. added some things into the beginning of this yea, but I dont that list either *shrug*. Thanks for any info you have~


We are on day 5 and so far I've lost 9 lbs! wahoo!!!!~

Well we don't concern ourselves with counting anything (except nuts and 75 calories of sweets)... what makes the bars questionable is that meal replacement bars

Thank you Susan!


I hadn't look at it like that. we have been doing so well on this diet, I just didnt want to screw things up! haha!


I will keep that in mind when looking for snacks.
