how can i tell if these are acceptible to my diet and how do i know what a trans fat is? and should they contain sugar? if so should i bin them? they cost £1.28 (about $2.50) for 10 in a pack they are about 1/2 inch big, hubby will go mad!!LOL!!!!
so dissapointed if they are rubbish lo carb treats

We have Rolos here in the U.S., but we never had the LC version of them. I am guessing they are loaded with sugar alcohols which for many people either stall their weight loss, raise their blood sugar, and/or create severe gas cramping and "expulsion" of said gas.
Being that you are just past induction or maybe still in induction, it would probably be more to your advantage to resist the treats even if they are LC. Part of the reason for the strictness of induction is to break you away from your bad eating habits.
