and its really pretty good. It is the "milk chocolate with almonds" and I bought it at the convenience store. The Russell Stover ones are still the best tasting, in my opinion, but this was available across the street from where I work. The Zcarb one is definately better than the atkins brand bars. The price was steep though--$1.99.

bought some at walgreens. they also have calcium
and magnesium , as well as fibre. Gotta try to find
them at walmart now. fantastic!

i just got some, they are really good. Only .98cents at Wal-mart

Hi-

Just thought I would pass along a little info about the Z-carb bars. I too think they are pretty good tasting and the erythritol is a great thing.

It has been pretty hard for retailers to get them for the last few months, except for the really big guys (i.e. Walmart). I have heard that the company is having some trouble so.... if you really like them- stock up while you can.

I know someone who knows that manufacturer, so if anyone out there wants to invest, lets bring them back

I like the ZCarb bars as well. Ordered some directly from their web site at http://www.zcarbbar.com/catalog/

Locally, they are available at the Healthy Lifestyles store in Lafayette, CA

I just got 2 today...the dark choc w/ mac nuts and the peanut butter flavor. They are awesome! The lax effect is yet to be seen for me, but I know tht the Russel Stovers cause major tummy trouble AND stalls in weight loss. So I hope that the ZCarb bars will be the answer to both!

We don't have a 7 11 in Waco that I know of. Is there anyone in Central Texas who could recommend where to go to get some?

If you're in Waco, you might want to try Super Wal-Mart...If not there, then try Walgreen's on Valley Mills. Walgreen's has been carrying the bars lately!

Oh, and Sic Em Bears. =)

Hey guys, just so you know, AT LAST bars are pretty much the same a zcarb bars. (im looking at the wrappers side by side.)

Yes, it looks like the ZCarb Bars are back in store at the Walgreen's stores. Very good news indeed !

Found em' and I love em'. Wal-Mart was hiding them, I couldn't find them at Walgreens but I am really pleased with them. The peanut one is super.

I got the almond one and loved it! Even my non-low carbing best friend liked it

did this make you stall?

They don't stall me or give me cravings. This is probably due to the fact that Euthritol is non-glycemic as explained here:

http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...hlight=maltitol

"Maltitol isn't a carbohydrate by the strict chemical definition [A Mono-, Di-, or Polysaccharide consisting of Carbon and Hydrate (Water,)] its an Alcohol [not the drinking kind,] but it still isn't much better than Sugar. Gram for Gram, it has about 53% of the effect on your Blood Sugar that Sucrose has [76% for Maltitol Syrup,] and 68-75% of it is absorbed. So, figure that for every 2g of Maltitol, you'll get the effect of 1g of Sugar, and for every 4g of Maltitol Syrup, you'll get the effect of 3g of Sugar. So, 14g of Maltitol would have the effect of 7g of Sucrose [Table Sugar.] 14g of Maltitol Syrup would have the effect of 10g of Sucrose. Definitely not as bad as say a 3 Musketeer Bar with 41g of Corn Syrup, but definitely not 2g of Net Carbs. I treat Maltitol, Maltitol Syrup, and Polyglycitol Syrup (HSH) as 1/2g to 3/4g of Carbs per 1g, and thus no longer consume products containing large amounts of Maltitol.

Maltitol Syrup = 76% of the GI of Sugar
Polyglycitol Syrup (HSH) = 57% of the GI of Sugar
Maltitol = 53% of the GI of Sugar
Xylitol = 19% of the GI of Sugar
Isomalt = 13% of the GI of Sugar
Sorbitol = 13% of the GI of Sugar
Lactitol = 9% of the GI of Sugar
Mannitol = NON-GLYCEMIC
Erythritol = NON-GLYCEMIC
Glycerine = NON-GLYCEMIC
Polydextrose = FIBER [AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED]
Tagatose = NON-GLYCEMIC [Some studies indicate it may actually reduce the GI of foods its eaten with.]

Amy, thanks for that info! I recently concluded that maltitol stalls me, but I didn't know what to think about erythritol. (I have a bunch of it in my pantry, so I'm happy to see I can still use it! )

I was bummed to see the new low-carb Hershey's contain polyglycitol syrup. Bummer bummer bummer.

A while back someone said Z Carb and At Last bars were the same, based on the ingredient list. Having done extensive taste tests of both kinds, I can assure you that Z Carb has more chocolate flavor. The At Last bars were a little on the waxy side.
