Just learning about low-carb?

[Guest guest]

Would someone help me out here or head me to a sight that answers this

question. On some labels of low-card processed food it says, " Through

included in the calorie count, fiber and polydextrose have been omitted from

the Total Carbohydrate count because they have negligible effect on insulin,

blood sugar and benign dietary ketosis. " Is this one of those " it works for

some but not for all " things like the " low-carb bars with hidden carbs. I

understand and appreciate the fact that every eater is an individual and

what works for one may not work for the other, but before I dive into some

low-carb pancakes I'd like the benefit of others wiser in the ways of

low-carb than I.

I have realized benefits too numerous to list from my new found approach to

food. A pile of pasta or a bowl of rice actually scares me and I'm kind of

shy of this " not listed carb " thing.

Thanks for any and all help,

Kate

You're right on the money Kate. These products are identifying the fact

that they have used every label loophole possible to reduce the 'effective'

carb count per serving. Whether or not your body will agree is something

that you have to determine for yourself. By all means, experiment and find

out if these products are ok for you. If you are one of the lucky ones,

you'll certainly be able to add variety to your life.

There is no point steering away from potential stallers just on the off

chance that they will be a problem food for you. Most potential stallers

are only a problem for a small segment of low carbers. Just be aware as you

try these products of what effect they are having on your rate of loss.

Subtracting fiber/glycerine on labels is a misleading practice AND against

the FDA labeling laws. They think they can get away with it with these

disclaimers, but I'm not buying it. It is not a global truth. The total

number of carbs is the truth...from whatever sources.
