Net Carbs and Low Carb Candy?

[Petlovergirl1000]

I've seen some of those special low carb candy bars that say "Net Carbs .6" or whatever because they take out fibers and sugar alcohols and stuff. What do you think of them? I don't know whether to have them or not. As far as them giving me cravings, they won't because I'm very sure not to be won over by cakes and stuff, even when I am around them. Do any of you eat them?

The one thing you must be aware of is that they can cause severe crampind diarrhea...so be careful ..you are young and your body is growing so in my humble opinion I would avoid artificial sweeteners as much as possible and not go over the 3 packets a day ...it is just not a good idea....if you can not stand it and really want to try one Scott turned me on to the Zcarb they are made with erythritol sugar alcohol that does not cause the diarrhea like the others....and I tried it ...it was very good tasted like a good chocolate bar...and totally satisfied my cravings with out causing more!...the are in Walmart ....good luck and welcome to food chat do you like to cook????....
