Re: 2nd day on OWL
Is there "sugar alcohol" or similar type of ingredient listed on the label too? I've seen companies try to fake-market their stuff by promoting the "3 net carbs" by deducting the fiber AND the sugar alchohol/other type listed.~Lisa~

Re: 2nd day on OWL
Technically the sugar alcohols are not supposed to count as carbs because you metabolize alcohol differently than carbs BUT an awful lot of people stall on these AND you aren't retraining your sweet tooth if you continue to eat sweet tasting things. These fake foods are something that never worked for me. I would actually gain on them and the fake chocolate items really messed with my intestines.
You may not have any problem, but IMHO real foods - meats, veggies, cheese etc. are always a better choice than these pseudo-foods.JILL

It's not about the results. Its about the process.
