Is it ok to eat on induction ? It sounds unbelievable. Their upcoming products sound great also. Well I am actually past induction but not at goal weight as yet.

I don't eat any of these types of foods - I try to avoid the foods (even in LC form) that remind me of how much I love the "actual" food they are imitating.

Others have good luck with these types of products.

But for me, they trigger cravings for more. The I find myself over-doing it. ("Hey - they only have 2 carbs, why not have another - or another" goes the little devil inside my brain!)

I have read where it does not spike until 2 or 3 days later, and it stays in the body (no bowel movements). I personally will wait this one out until more people try it.

Found them both at Safeway today - grabbed both - and one week from today, when induction is over ........ I will give them a try. I am thinking that instead of thinking of them as substitutes - that they must BECOME the real thing. If I am only substituting, then I am also depriving - or so it seems to me. If, however, I can work w/ the products and create a new love - that is a good thing.

Not sure where you read that, but it is not even possible. If your body can digest it, your BS will spike within a couple of hours tops. If you body digests it so slow it stays there for days, then it won't be a spike either.

Bowels can hold onto waste for some time after it has passed through the digestive system.

In my experience, it does act like fiber. When I have some (not too often), the effects are rather.. ah.. obvious.
