Dexatrim All in One Bars

[ehozumi]

I just ate one of these not knowing about the whole Malitol discussion. I am new to the board and wanted to ask if anyone has experienced any problems or stalling by eating these by bars. The package says that there is 1 net carb. The are a total of 21g of carbs with 5g of fiber and 1 g of sugar. so that 15 grams are of sugar alcohols.

Should I be worried? I am two weeks in and have done Atkins before, but now I am worried I stalled the weight loss.

In any case, those of you that don't mind eating these should try them, they are amazing tasting!!!!

Hi and welcome to the board.

I have not tried these bars in particular, but have had some rather unpleasant side effects from malitol :yikes even though they do taste good I stay far away!!
I have had better luck with Z-carb bars. They have a lower sugar alcohol amount (around 6 total per bar) and are made with eryrthritol which does not seem to have any adverse side effects for me.

Everyone is different with stalling though, and at the beginning it is best to stay away from these types of foods as they tend to create carb cravings.
Good Luck
