Be careful of Sugar Free Life Savers

[snorkelman]

I bought a bag of Sugar Free Life Savers because i had a sore throat. The bag said "South Beach diet recommended and real big on the front it said 0G sugar carbs.

On the back it said Total carbs - 14g
Sugars 0g
sugar alcohol 13 g

So I started popping these, thinking that they were carb free.

However, when i discovered that I was out of ketosis, i then discovered a third place in the same package where it mentioned "Carb count 1g" and "do not eat more than 4 pieces per day"

So, i determined that these sugar free life savers kicked me out of ketosis.

I am back in ketosis now and i lost 11 pounds during my first 2 weeks!

Sugar alcohols affect people differently. They mess up the weight loss of some folks and others they don't. That's why ADBB advises everyone to avoid them.

Definitely a lesson learned. But the more important question is does your throat feel better?
