Sugar Alcohol Choc Bars

shiNer45 · 01-22-2007, 11:31 AM

hey there, just wanted to share somethings i found for those whose diets allow sugar alcohols in them

anyway we found a chocolate bar at Laura Secord yesterday that tasted amazing, heres the breakdown on the back of package:

Laura Secord Milk Chocolate Flavoured Bar
Serving Size 1/3 (13.3g)

Calories 70
Fat 5g
Saturated Fat 3g
Trans Fat 0g
Cholesterol 5mg
Sodium 10mg
Carbs 7g
Fibre 0g
Sugars 0g
Maltitol 6g
Protein 1g

they come in either milk or dark chocolate, now i havent eaten real chocolate for a few weeks but it tasted just like milk chocolate to me, by far the best one i have found here in canada, anyway minus your sugar alcohols (if you minus them) your looking at 3g per bar

i had half a bar with no side effects , or change in ketosis levels

heres another one from Zehr's (Loblaws for the city folk):
Made by Ross chocolates

No Sugar Added White Chocolate Bar 34g:
serving 1 bar
Calories 180
Fat 13g
Saturated 8g
Trans 0g
Cholesterol 5mg
Sodium 10mg
Carbs 19g
Fibre 0g
Sugar 0g
Maltitol 14g
Protein 2g

so for the whole bar, net count 5g

In the end i would prefer the Laura secord for taste, smoothness, quality etc etc, but my wallet prefers the Ross Bar at $0.74 as compared to the $2.25 pricetag of the Laura Secord one

anyways, wanted to let anyone who wanted a little something extra know

at least the pricetag of the Laura Secord one wont allow me to eat very many, so thats a positive as well!

I like a chocolate now and then. I've been getting my fix from russel stover sugar free chocolate covered caarmel drops. I maybe have one or two candies and that's it for a few day's. It is good to know there is something else out there, that tastes good. I may try one of those thanks for the heads up!

You're doing wonderfully!
