If sugar alcohols DO NOT give you plllt
does that mean your body is using them and you need to count them in your net carbs?

Re: If sugar alcohols DO NOT give you plllt
OHG, thats funny - I will have to use that acronym.
I read that it's misleading to discount sugar alcohols, they are still metabolized by the body, and should therefore count, unlike the carbs from fibre.
What did you eat that had that many sugar alcohols that your body reacted like that (just wondering so that I can avoid it in the future)Maeg

No, I haven't had a reaction. I had LC ice cream. I expected gas, cramps or the infamous ppppllllltttt...So I thought oh no! what if I'm metabolizing them too!30/F/5'6"Start Weight 245+lbs. in January 2004rerererererestart 6/08/2007 @ 1856.2 FEET of FAT GONE

Re: If sugar alcohols DO NOT give you plllt
Yes, if you don't get explosive diarrhea, that means your body has processed those sugar alcohols like regular sugar, meaning you need to count them in your daily carb totals. I've never had the explosive diarrhea...meaning my body loves sugar alcohols and I have to count every single one of them. Since I have to count those carbs, and I'm "cheap" with my carb counts, I'd rather skip the LC ice cream (because I have to count almost all the friggin' carbs anyway) and have chocolate "mousse" with fresh fruit, or an apple with peanut butter, etc.
The one time I ate LC ice cream, it DID give me horrible bloating and gas, but since I didn't get the hershey squirts, I still had to count all the carbs (minus fiber).

Re: If sugar alcohols DO NOT give you plllt
Oh. No. *Please* tell me you guys are kidding about having to count sugar alcohols if no...ah, pllltt.
Really? Really?
What if, say, you eat one piece of s/f candy. Like, for instance, a Russell Stover Pecan Delight (which I *loved* my first go-round with Atkins), and no plllt. But you eat *four* pieces of said candy, with a PLLLT result? Does that mean you can eat them, but only if/til you PLLLT?

Re: If sugar alcohols DO NOT give you plllt
From what I have read around the www I have decided that I will count SA carbs if they dont give me the 'pfllttttts' (love that descriptive word!!) but discount them if they do.
And because like Julie I am a bit economical with my carb expenditure it means I just dont eat them because
1. I dont want to waste my carb 'allowance'
2. I dont want to spend the night on the loo!!
The one time I ate a whole pack of sugarfree toffees and spent a whole night experiencing the world dropping out of my bottom (to adapt a well known phrase) told me that even if I dont have to count the carbs it just was not worth it for me!!Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

Re: If sugar alcohols DO NOT give you plllt
Thanks for the link, Elizellen. The info made a lot of sense.
I would rather know the facts than put my whole plan in jeopardy. I guess my last time around, ignorace was bliss

Re: If sugar alcohols DO NOT give you plllt
That is a really great post. Is it a sticky? With all the questions about sugar alcohols we see I really think that should be a sticky.Grant
