RS chocolate

[Jamiesgirl]

I am on Atkins and have been thrilled with my results. I haven't cheated, however, I did buy a bag of RS sugar free pecan things. Well I had one today. And right now I feel absolutely nausous...is this the sugar alcohol? Has anyone else experienced this? I suppose I could be coming down with something?

I felt that way too for the first couple of times I had it and now I don't eat those candies at all. Be careful with the sf chocolate you may need the restroom afterward that is why I avoid sugar alcohol.

Elle has a great recipe for chocolate whipped cream you should try. I also whip the heavy whipping cream with sf jello for all sorts of flavors and you don't have to add sweetener to those.

you can happily blame your gastrointestinal distress on those chocolates. sugar alcohols are notorious for their "bathroom effect" on people. if i were you, i'd toss the bag in the trash.

(well ok, i wouldn't have bought them in the first place, but that's because i know what effect sugar alcohols have on me, and it ain't pretty.)

Can you imagine if you had a serving size? Yikes! Yeah, those things are crazy. You're better off having a small piece of really dark chocolate or something with cocoa powder and nuts to satisfy the cravings!

Wishing I would have had a negative gastro effect from the dark choc sf dove truffles this weekend...sigh..would have kept me away from those things...

dh and I eat all the RS fat free candies and neither of us seem to have any problems.

My suggestion would be leave them alone for a couple days and then maybe give it another try. If you have the same effect then you will know your system just doesn't tolerate it.

MY PROBLEM is I'm staying nauseated no matter what I eat!
