JK,
Doug has posted repeatedly about how he crashes off the diet every time he
gets going.
While sugar alcohols work for you, for me they raise blood sugar and cause
hunger cravings way out of proportion to their carb count.
So they probably aren't ideal for someone struggling to get into a low carb
mode.

You don't know that. If a bar keeps you from eating something truly carby
it can be a help.

Well, I haven't had any in over 6 months, and just 2 in the last week....
They don't even sell them here.
Besides, the smaller ones are just 120 calories each. If you watch
calories and take them into account and they help curb your appetite,
isn't that a good thing?

Well, I have lost 60 pounds just by eating low carb, I don't consider myself
dieting, just staying away from carby stuff. I would call that success. I
continue to lose slowly and feel better than I did before LC. I am very
happy with LC and with my life. Is there a problem with that?

Losing 60 pounds when you start with 350, is hardly a resounding success.

I didn't start with 350, I started with 290. It's success as I define it
which is what is important. I don't give squat about your idea of what
success would be for me.

I think that they key is moderation. Now, whether that means one bar a
day or one a week or one a month for you is going to vary from person to
person depending on their particular good triggers, metabolism, etc.

Jenny I only said what works for me when I want a chocoate treat. Sugar
alcohols do not work for me, as you said. They give me a belly ache and

trick every now and again. I never advised anyone to copy me.
