Carb Options

Is the "Carb Options" bbq sauce allowed during Induction, as long as its moderated use keeps total net carbs < 20gms?

Re: Carb Options

Carb Option BBQ sauce isn't on the induction list, so I would hold off for the 14 days of induction. It could cause you to not lose, like you would without eating it.

It is very important to eat only from the induction list the first 14 days.

OK thanks. Just finishing up my shopping list for the grocery store tomorrow.

Re: Carb Options

Yep, what Becky Sue said. Remember, on induction we only eat the foods on the "acceptable list to give us the best start on this plan that we can. After the two weeks, if you want to try the low carb sustitutes, then do it slowly and carefully and if you have any adverse effects, stop them and drop back to what you were doing when you were losing

Understood!

Re: Carb Options

When folks ask a question such as this, the answer is to look at the ingredients. When I look at the barbecue sauce, I find

Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Natural Flavors, Modified Food Starch, Spices (Including Turmeric), Dried Onion, Soybean Oil, Caramel Color, Garlic Powder, Molasses, Xanthan Gum (for consistency), Potassium Sorbate*, Sodium Benzoate*, Sucralose (Splenda Brand), Anchovies, Tamarind.

Modified Food Starch, and Molasses are most certainly not induction friendly. So, the answer is "no," this particular product is not allowed.

And when I look at the front of the label, I see "3 net carbs per serving", hence the question.

As per the authorized food list, my induction will be clean.
