Ok, I have the Atkins diet infiltrated into my head b/c I tried it so many times so forgive me if I am asking a stupid question. But many of you have said you have eaten "sugar free_____" (candy, chocolate, cookies, pudding, fill in the blank) and it has been fine on P3. But many times those lables still list lots of carbs and very little, if any, fiber. So if not from sugar, where are the carbs coming from and how do they not affect your weight? -

From starches which are a no no in P3. Cookies and cakes are anyway. Not sure about the sugar free candy. Pudding carbs would be from milk which would be okay.

I can share that some things may be "no additional sugar added" - in that case it's natural sugar say from Strawberries in a jelly. I have not focused so much on the carbs, but sugar free has been my focus (I peek at the carbs and typically go for one that is lowest in sugar and carbs. Then for starches, I avoid things like bread, scones, pasta, etc.... -

I was never concered with the carb number, just no starches (bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, etc.) and then the no added sugar. I ate the sf puddings and jello and Russell Stover sf candies and stablized both times on P3. -

Alot use the SF candies, etc, but be careful, because as you know from the atkins diet, many of these have "sugar alcohols" in them. Try them carefully and see if they work for you...they don't work for everyone in p3. Barb -

Natural sugars seem to be okay. Just like fruit has natural sugars. There's no added sugar in milk.

but if you go up on milk, you might have an intolerance to it so just watch your weight! -

amanda- most of those carbs are sugar alcohols. and while they affect the blood sugar less than regular sugar, then do still affect it- so are not as "neutral" as the ads make them out to be. use caution with the sugar-free stuff. most people can tolerate some, but not a lot. what it WILL do, is increase your cravings for more sugar, make you retain water, and give you the runs....
