Russell Stover Mint Patties Question

[tidoublegger]

Hi, I am on Atkins and bought Sugar-Free Russell Stover mint patties. They're not the low carb ones. Are these ok on Atkins? The carb listing on the back is 27g, sugar alcohol 25g. I hope they're not going to throw me off track!!! Any insight would be appreciated!!!!!!

You subtract the sugar alcohol from the total carbs and that equals your net carb if there were fiber grams you'd subtract them too from the carbs. So in the case of the mints its 2net carbs per serving. Be warned some of those SF products give you the runs and/or stall your weight loss.

hope this helps

LOL, they sure do give you the runs. Yikes! But they are tasty, I love the Milk Choc Bars, I always lose an extra 1-2 pounds when I eat these, guess it's cleaning out my system..lol

I really think the SF and the LC are the same. They just charge more for the red LC wrapper LOL. Around here is is $.75 more for a small bag of the LC one. the SF are 1.50 the LC are 2.25
