Erythritol - Zcarb Bars
After testing the Zcarb chocolate bars twice, I've found they do live up to
their billing: no blood sugar rise and no digestive symptoms. The only diet pitfall I see here is the calories--the bars are small and clock in at 181 calories apiece. If you are losing slowly and eat one a day on top of your usual intake, that might be enough to stall you. If you have room for the calories on your plan, they make a nice treat. I bought mine at a 7 11 for $1.19. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2. Cut the carbs to respond to my email address!

Erythritol - Zcarb Bars
Myway,
The serving sizes for things with Maltitol raised my blood sugar plenty. Ditto with the glycerine bars. Lacitol doesn't raise my blood sugar--but a serving of 3 Reeses Peanut Butter cups renders me poor company for rest of the evening due to the horrible gas it creates. Even the Carb Smart Ice cream causes a bit more gas than I'm happy with, again lacitol. This new sugar alcohol in the Zcarb bar did neither, which was a pleasant surprise. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2.
