Firstly no need to SHOUT! LOL

well sugar alcohols do have a blood sugar impact (even if some people say they don't). If you truly want to keep your carbs below 20 grams then you have to ditch them. One Atkins bar has like 27 grams in it or something!!

It might be time for you to move onto OWL ?

Re: Questions About Snacks And Sugar Alcohols.

Sugar alcohol gives some people intestinal distress (as in major gas and the trots) so unless you are one of the chosen few who can tolerate them it's best to avoid them.

If you look in the food forums you'll find an area for Snacks...there's a ton of stuff out there that you can have. Every fried some cheese up till it was hot and bubbly then let it cool to make cheese chips? Crunchy, salty..they're great...and you can bake pepperoni rounds to make chips as well.
Do a search on 'snack' on the board, you'll get a ton of stuff to read. Probably if you scroll down in either this forum or the 14 day forum you'll see threads about snacks as well.
