Great Low Carb article, til you get to the "expert's opinion" at the end...

Good news coming...I tried the Klondike bars, they are in my Publix already, the girl at the checkout told me they have been selling a lot of them!

All I can say is that I've seen the low carb ice cream from Breyers and it's really not all that low carb (13-15 grams net carb per serving for the vanilla which is only about 7 grams less than the regular stuff). I hope that the chocolate ice cream bars that they come out with are better. I still probably won't get this stuff often because of the Maltitol, but it's nice to have a low carb option available and very nice to hear that food producers are taking note of the popularity of low carb and responding with products.
Just a word to beware of the new products that you see on the shelves. Read labels. While a lot of new products may be low carb, I've found that many still contain transfats and other things that many of us are also trying to avoid besides carbs. :nono:

Breyers No Sugar Added Ice Cream is as, nay higher in Carbs [especially sugars] as some of their Regular Ice Creams. But, Breyers NEW CarbSmart Ice Cream [which just hit the shelves in the last couple days] has only 4g of Net Carbs (10g - 3g Fiber - 3g Sorbitol.) In fact, it probably has less as Glycerine is listed as an ingredient, but a count is not included for it, and it appears only the Fiber and Sorbitol have been subtracted to reach the Net Carb count. It tastes really good. It costs $4.99 just like Atkins Ice Cream, but it is 1/2 Gallon [for that price] instead of 1 Pint [with Atkins.] And, I can scoop it like real Ice Cream, since it doesn't come in those stupid little serving cups. Only downside is it has a small amount (probably <1g) of HFCS.

How's the fat count? Do they share the delusion of some other ice cream maker that, because we're dieting, we want our low-carb ice cream to be low-fat as well? Also, what flavors do they have?
