Which are fake carbs?

Personally I'm staying away from the whole list except for the jello, pop,
salad dressing, and wings. Yummm, wings. Haven't had any in a while.
Anyway, sugar alcohol does a number on me, so even sugar free mints need to
be consumed in minute quantities (like no more than 1 or 2 mints every 4
days).
HTH!

I minimize the eating of processed foods. I have, however, eaten low carb
tortillas, ketchup, and chocolat milk. For the latter, it goes bad before
I can finish it. Peanut butter is good. The rest, I use very sparingly
and I try to avoid anything with sugar alcohols, particularly maltitol,
which does not get along with me.

Prior to deciding that I would start a low-carb life style, as a diabetic,
all of these foods listed were a god-send for me in order to help control my
BG readings.

It's going to be tough to give them up........So eating some of these
wouldn't amount to what low-carbing is all about? I mean, if after
induction, couldn't some of these be eaten once in while and still lose
weight?

I guess I am one of the lucky ones, sugar alcohols and malitol do not affect
my BG readings or my system.

You're wrong. several of those items listed are REAL low-carb products. The
fake ones are generally those with sugar alcohols or lies on the labels.
the LC version may not taste as good as the high carb version, which is
usually a good sign that is really is LC.

Buy a"good" LC diet book. Stay away from the "bad" or "fake" ones.

It depends on whom you ask, there are a variety of opinions here on these
items. My take on them below:

Eddie Type 2 <[email hidden]> stated
| Are these "good" or "bad" or "fake" carbs?
| Which should we stay away from?
|
| low-carb bread? -- I don't eat any wheat products, only liked my
home made bread so don't eat LC bread
| Atkins low-carb ice cream bars? -- OK in moderation if the SAs don't
bother you
| Atkins low-carb ice cream? -- same
| low-carb milk? -- Hood's is wonderful, tastes great, provides
calcium
| low-carb chocolate milk? -- same except I didn't care for the taste all
that much, prefer regular Hood's with a splash of daVinci Kahlua syrup
| low-carb Special K cereal? -- never was much of a dry cereal eater so
haven't tried this, I like some of the LC hot cereals, KETO and Flax-O-Meal
are ones I recommend
| low-carb Hershey Chocolate Bars? -- OK but the ZCarb bars taste better
| low-carb Atkins shakes? -- never had one
| Smart-carb ice cream bars? -- same

| sugar-free jello? -- can't LC without this, I have it at bedtime every
night, also good to take to potlucks, at Christmas I made a big Jello mold
with SF Jello and frozen triple berry blend (raspberries, blueberries,
blackberries) from Costco, something everyone can eat and you get a nice
desserty treat
| sugar-free pop? -- not a big pop drinker to begin with but I have
discovered Sparkling Ice fruit drinks at Costco and Sam's, they have a
smidgen of juice plus flavoring and Splenda in fizzy water, 8 calories, 2
carbs per bottle, and they are delicious, better than any pop
| low-carb tortillas? never ate tortillas before so don't know but got some
LC tacos, La Tiara brand and even my non LC SO who doesn't much care for

It's so easy to just eat real food especially when you start LC out. Eat
meat, almost any kind, cooked almost any way you like it. Eat green salads,
and some green veggies too. Take a multivitamin. That's really all you nned
to be successful. Feel free to add a few LC treats now and then when you
feel ready.

I'm not an expert, but I'll share my personal opinions with you.

Quoted message said:

low-carb bread?

I've discovered, after some time on low-carb, that I have an intolerance
for wheat. I have also noted that Sara Lee low-carb bread has 9 carbs per
slice. The bread we buy for Crash, for less than half the price of a loaf
of Sara Lee, has 18 carbs for two slices. You do the math.

Quoted message said:

Atkins low-carb ice cream bars?
Atkins low-carb ice cream?

I've never tried either of these, regardless of brand.

Quoted message said:

low-carb milk?
low-carb chocolate milk?

Hood's Carb Countdown "dairy beverage" has only 3 carbs per cup. I find
that they've overcompensated for the lactose they removed by using too much
Splenda. The regular milks are too sweet for me, but the chocolate is
nice.

Quoted message said:

low-carb Special K cereal?

No clue.

Quoted message said:

low-carb Hershey Chocolate Bars?

I can eat them and my blood glucose is virtually unaffected. But I tend to
binge, and I just can't have them around.

Quoted message said:

low-carb Atkins shakes?

In the past, I've had one every morning, and lost 40 pounds in six months
while doing so. To me, they're fast and easy to make. Keto has some good
flavors, as well.

Quoted message said:

Smart-carb ice cream bars?

Haven't tried them.

Quoted message said:

Kraft low-carb salad dressings?

Don't pay extra for the words "low-carb" on the label. Ranch dressing, for
example, is naturally low in carbs. Just read labels, and you'll be fine.

Quoted message said:

low-carb beer?

No clue.

Quoted message said:

low-carb barbeque sauce?

I make my own. Here's where you can find Jenny's recipe:
http://www.geocities.com/jenny_the_bean/recipes.htm
We add a small amount of xanthan gum to thicken the sauce slightly.

Her recipe for hot cocoa is excellent, as well.

Quoted message said:

low-carb ketchup?

I haven't tried it, but I understand that the Heinz version is good.

Quoted message said:

low-carb peanut butter?

Just get a jar of natural peanut butter, with no added sugar.

Quoted message said:

low-carb pasta?

Dreamfileds brand is excellent. Tastes just like regular pasta, and it has
virtually no effect on my blood sugar.

Quoted message said:

sugar-free jello?

I eat it all the time. I put it in four small Pyrex glass bowls. When I
eat it, I pour a tablespoon of heavy cream over the top. I don't care for
the taste of it without the cream.

Quoted message said:

sugar-free pop?

A lot of people swear that their weight loss stops when they drink it.
It's never had that effect on me.

Quoted message said:

low-carb tortillas?

I've only tried the La Tortilla brand. I found them to be gritty and
nasty. To use them up so they're not wasted, I occasionally butter one,
put it into a frying pan, then sprinkle with cinnamon and Splenda.

Quoted message said:

chicken wings with hot sauce?

Unless the wings are breaded, these are usually a safe choice..

You mention induction. Make sure you read the book, and all your questions
on this should be answered. I think he says after induction, you start to
add in carbs, but are no longer restricted to the induction list. So some of
these may probably be OK. YMMV, and all that.

Well, foo! Check at will and see what works for you!

When it is all said and done, if your BG is under control and you're
steadily losing weight at a moderate rate, do whatever the hell you want.
Remember, you can lose weight on a variety of different plans, but LC has
advantages in terms of appetite suppression (for most) and BG control.

That's what I do Roger.........If I eat something totally new, I check after
30 minutes, then at 1hr, then at 1 1/2 hrs then at 2 hrs..............this
gives me a good indication of how it has affected my BG.........I also take
into account if I have exercised right after eating or not. Normally, I
just check my 1hr and 2 hr BG readings after eating.....it helps me stay in
control of my BG and to learn how foods affect me.

I am already seeing the effects of LC, my appetite has already decreased
dramatically after only 6 days!

Thanks for your comments, I sincerely appreciate them.

Well, foo! Check at will and see what works for you!

When it is all said and done, if your BG is under control and you're
steadily losing weight at a moderate rate, do whatever the hell you want.
Remember, you can lose weight on a variety of different plans, but LC has
advantages in terms of appetite suppression (for most) and BG control.
