I did not lose weight this week; I accept that. In an attempt to 'get regular' I ate the sugar free chocolates. It did nothing towards that end (no pun intended). Mid-week, I sneaky-weighed and I was up 2 1/2 lbs from that experiment. For me, I have to count the sugar alcohols according to this formula: if sugar alcohols are the only carb in a food and <5 g., it is free. Think sugarless gum. If there are other carbohydrates besides the sugar alcohols then: divide the number of sugar alcohols in half and subtract that number from total carbs, then subtract dietary fiber to arrive at net carbs.
Here's an example:
Hershey's sugar free chocolate miniatures has 24 total carbs, 20 are sugar alcohol, 3 are 'fiber'. So 20/2=10, 24-10=14 14-3=11. So I record 11 net carbs.
(the old calculation just for comparison...sugar alcohols are deducted from total carbs then fiber is deducted. so 24-20=4, 4-3=1. Record 1 net carb)
Bottom line, I will not indulge in sugar alcohols again. (Especially since they were not laxative for me!) I started a probiotic daily pill that helps with ibs-c and I feel like I am returning to normal. Hooray. I will take my weight as it stands and be grateful that I have learned from these lessons.
