Default i bought low carb food-pasta, bran crisps...etc,

Hey there!
I bought some low carb food today. I got low carb cereal, pasta, marinara
sauce, and bran crispbread. I had been waiting to buy this kind of food for
awhile now. Since I am almost to the maintanance phase, I figured it would
not hurt

There are no sugar alcohols in the foods. I made sure to steer clear of
those.

The bran stuff I got tastes like triscuits. It has 3carbs (3 carbs of
dietary fiber). Anyway, I pretty much devoured the majority of the package,
because I have not had any bread/cracker-type products in a long time.

Will this harm me, since the effective carb count is 0? Yes, I know I have
one lb left, so it may not seem like a big deal, but even with maintanance I
must be wary of these types of foods.

Thanks
Kerri

Kerri,

Brancrisps are labeled using the European method in which the carb count
given has already deducted the fiber. So the 3 gms is the actual carb count
of each cracker.

That said, I love them and have eaten one or two every day throughout my 32+
pound weight loss journey. The fiber is useful and they make a nice
platform for lots of low carb treats.

Finally, now that you are nearing goal, don't get phobic about pushing your
carbs up a ittle. Even if you ate 30 gms of carbs by accident yesterday, it
will not derail your weight loss or your maintenance. I'm at still 138 lbs
this morning and my average daily carb intake for the past month has been 55
gm (after deducting fiber.) There have been a few days when I've eaten as
much as 100 grams. What I am careful about is total calories.

I am finding that keeping calories low is just as significant for
maintaining a lower new weight than carbs. When I up the carbs I will gain
a predictable 2 or 3 pounds of water, but when I cycle back to a lower carb
regimen, they come right off.
