Question

sugar alcohols

I've noticed alot of lollies and chocs around with sugar alcohols intead of 'true' carbs. Apparently, they don't count so even the 'milk chocolate' is only 1g carb per 100g. This seems too good to be true!

I know they can have some, ahem, unpleasant affect on your bowels, but do they also slow weight loss?

Hi Josh, welcome!

Unfortunately for some folk sugar alcohols do indeed slow, or even stop, weight loss.

There have been many, many threads where people discuss this in the main parts of the forum. Try searching "sugar alcohols."

You will find more info about SA's here: http://www.lowcarb.ca/tips/tips010.html
(Found in "Tips" on the green bar at the very top of the screen.)

Cheers,

Roz
