    Afraid to taste them

    OK - hidden away in a forgotten crannie in the kitchen, I found a stash from last year's shopping spree at a GNC closing down. There are La Nouba Belgian sugarless treats - chocolate marshmallows claiming to have 9g carbs, 8.8g being "non-caloric, non blood impacting" carbs. With "NETT CARBS 0.26" it looks like a perfect treat for my next TOM visit, but I'm afraid they could be like a "gateway drug" and lead to craving "hard" chocolate.

    Do these things cause anyone to stall or fall?

      They are WAY expired, MOG. But I figured I'd eat them because I've had chocolates before that tasted good even though years old... Took these with me on vacation, brought back, they've been melted in the heat and now they're in front of me here at work. Kinda freaky I'd do this and still not eat them, huh?

        Not to me. Do they have sugar alcohols in them? I have a very low tolerance for SA's --they are not worth eating for me, they cause me hours of major discomfort and too many trips to the potty - I'd rather go w/o.

        I have some low carb candy I bought almost 2 years ago when they marked it down to get rid of it, its in my freezer, I see it almost everyday and have no desire to eat it, I don't know why I even bought it.

            That's a good reason not to eat them...

            But they retailed for $4.99, tho I got them for .29 cent at the sale at GNC - so figured they must be super good. I also have in the stash low carb bake mix, noodles & cereal, etc.

            MOG, the sweeteners in these are lacticol, maltitol and isomalt...whatever those are.

                Yeah, those are sugar alcohols. If you've lived without them so far then I would suggest continuing to live without them. Aside from the physical discomfort (i.e. gas, trots) you could trigger some cravings and undo all your hard work. I'd toss them right now. Back away slowly and no one will get hurt. Heee.

                    Do yourself a favor and make one of the ADBB chcolates recipes for TOM

                    lacticol is the most intestinal volitol SA of them all and why when Herseys came out with low carb choclate sweetened with them all the low carbers attacked Herseys instead of thanking them. Even named then c r a p your pants candy. they got the message and reformulated.
