Fruit Snacks/Jelly Beans
Anyone seen these? I've already thrown them away now, so I'm not sure of
the brand, but I bought them in a GNC store or some other big nutrition store. They were either 1 or 0 grams of carbs per serving (well, what impacts your blood sugar anyway). They were actually quiet tasty, not bad at all. I ate the bag (1 serving) of sour fruit chews a short time after breakfast because I was craving something sweet. I later had a salad for lunch and not long after that I had one of the worst cases of the "trots" I've ever had. Not thinking it had anything to do with the candy, I later opened the jelly beans just to try a couple, put the rest up for later, and thats exactly what I did. Well, yet again, I"m in the bathroom, in and out for about an hour to hour and a half, that was last night and I"m not exactly "right" yet. Is this related to the candy? Seems like I read something somewhere about this. I"ve eaten the Atkins bars (chocolate, peanut butter, mint, things) and not had this reaction. Any ideas? (*Sorry for the nature of the post, but I tried to keep it as clean as possible!*) Oh, also, I just finished two weeks, and thought I'd hope on the scales, and was actually a bit disappointed. My scales (a very cheap one at that) says I didn't loose any weight, but when I measured myself, I had lost a couple of inches and that was only in a weeks time (I didn't measure myself at the very beginning). I was happy to see that, but I want to see the scale go down. I don't think its because of any muscle mass being added, I haven't exercised hardly any at all, but oh, well, the clothes are a bit looser none the less! B-Worthey B-Worthey |

Seems like I read something somewhere about this. I"ve eaten the Atkins bars (chocolate, peanut butter, mint, things) and not had this reaction. Any ideas? There are several differen sugar alcohols. You may be more reactive to one kind.

If you are losing inches your body mass *is* changing, it just hasn't shown up on the scale yet. Sometimes the scales lie and you have to stare them down under the hot glare of the interrogation lamp.. eventually they spill the beans though and tell you your 'real' weight. They really can't hold out more than a week. Of course, if you're not losing inches too, then they can hold out forever. revek the whoosh fairy has a rubber hose in her bag |

Any ideas? Sugarfree jelly beans and gummy worms seem to have a much higher concentration of sugar alcohols than sugarfree chocolates and other candies (just as the real ones have a higher percentage of sugar), and tend to cause intestinal distress in smaller amounts than other sugarfree candies. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |
