Protein Bars

Oh piffle. I don't count sugar alc. They won't fatten me up, in fact, , they might have the opposite effect.

On the front of the bar is the net carbs. I look at actual sugar (or padding for hips, use your words) and net carbs only.

okay, thanks for the advice as this whole time I have been looking at total carbs LOL

total carbs
minus fiber
minus sugar alcohols
equals sugar, apply to butt as desired. LOL

sugar alcohols CAN make you run down the hall, but not fatten you up.

Ive heard a lot of controversy regarding sugar alcohols.  So for you, personally, it doesn't affect you?  For me, I dont have any gas or bloating, etc. I was just afraid of getting fat :

Oh gosh, no. I lost wt when I cut out al carbs totally. Don't really like meat or fish, at least not 4 meals a day! So, I did bars or meat or fish and dropped maybe 20#? Was traveling, so don't know for sure. Pants were tight when I left, falling off on the way home. LOL

I lost 9# on purpose, had 4 to go and then we left.

Not making me fat, BUT I have them in place of a meal, not in addition.
