Hi all,
I found a Ross Chocolate bar today...someone did tell me they were low carb...but the bars didn't have any numbers on them. The only thing they listed numbers for was the Maltitol..which was 13.7 I think. Does anyone know what they are counted at carb wise off the top of their head? I had one...and funny enough, didn't want another, nor did it start any cravings...and trust me...I could have put away a couple or more of those puppies in my old life..
It did however, make me more than a little gassy...so might not want to do that too often...and I hear they can cause other "fluid" problems as well...lol. I know that Sorbital can do that to me...I used to buy the Certs sugar free candies years ago...and was constantly in the BR...and finally clued in to what was going on...don't eat them anymore.
Anyway, any info would be appreciated...you guys are such a great source of information.

Hi Dar,

What store did you find them at? I'd like to tuck one away in the freezer....but haven't had any luck finding them in my area.

Thx!

Hi Jo,
I have found them at Pharmasave and the healthfood store here in Sidney...do you have a healthfood store nearby?? I also got some Atkins bake mix there too yesterday...am thinking of trying it for breakfast...but had set my heart on the mock danish to try this morning...getting a bit tired of the same thing day in and day out.
If you have trouble finding them, I could possibly send you over a couple, not a problem for me at all...let me know.
How are you feeling?? I am still hanging in there...though the weight seems to be creeping off very slowly...seems to me when I did this diet 25 or more years ago, it ran off my body like water...well, maybe not that fast, but it sure was not as pokey as this time. Now, I am older, and on meds that I can't stop, so that could be the reason.
Hope you have a good day...and if you find the choc. bars...if you like the combo of orange and chocolate...it is my fave I think.
Bye for now

Thanks so much Dar!

I will check out the local Pharmasave this weekend. I don't really crave chocolate, but ever now and again when I am craving something sweet...I'd love to have a little piece!

Will let you know how I make out.

Thanks again!

Jo

I found them online here:

I haven't tried them yet but thinking about ordering the orange ones...mmmmm orange and chocolate.

Today I found some low carb Russel Stover chocolates at Bi-Mart.
The truffle kind only have 0.2 net carbs each, the peanut butter ones have more than 2 each so I didn't get any of them. I really like the truffles, but I don't think I will get any more because they give me cravings for more chocolate. I wish they were sold one by one instead of one big bag!

You could just mail me some...LOL! Maybe try putting them in the freezer, out of sight, out of mind?

I've eaten more than a couple "sugar free" or "low carb" chocolates containing Maltitol. And if you read the package reallllly closely, you'll see that it says "excess consumption may have a laxative effect".

*grin*

And for me, oh boy, yes it does. Heck, eating what they term as a single serving clears up... constipation.

Oh what a wonderful topic... *lol* I'll go hide now.

Wishing you the best!!
