Guest guest Posted March 13, 1999 Report Share Posted March 13, 1999 Dear Theo, Have you tried the new " Choice " bars from Mean/? I got some to try in the mail. They are very good. I haven't really studied all the ingredients, nor tested after eating. So, I don't want to sound like I'm recommending them. But, they do taste good. There is a phone number for more info: 1-. Has anyone tried " Choice " and tested? -moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 1999 Report Share Posted March 13, 1999 OOps!! I meant Mead/!!! Please don't turn me in!!! The bar I got is Fudge Brownie and it says on it: " for people with diabetes " . -moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 1999 Report Share Posted March 13, 1999 Dear Meenie, It's weird that a candy bar made for diabetics does not have nutrition info on it. Only has the ingredients. Maybe what I got is just a sample. I had some paperwork come with it, but can't put my hands on it right now. When I find the paperwork I'll write more. I just wondered if anyone else got the candy bar? -moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 1999 Report Share Posted March 14, 1999 Well, maybe at least semi-bad hehehe. Still a lot of sugar, I'm afraid.. And I can sympathize, I have a true and deep love of chocolate There is only one real thing that will tell you, and that is how it affects your weight loss ... and also does it create more cravings, cause I know if I tried to eat a few choc. chips, I would end up eating them all Meenie Chocolate Attack From: theoj@... (theo janae) Serious question, when continued existence absolutely depends upon immediate supply of chocolate, what do you do??? I have resorted to eating a few chocolate chips, and hoping that when they say semi-sweet, that means 'not bad'. What do you think???

I eat chocolate all the time Milk chocolate has the least sucrose, but may have lactose, but I think it is still lower in sugar than dark chocolate, even semi-sweet. I have to include the sugar in the chocolate in my carbs. Chocolate has a lot of fat, so that matters too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 1999 Report Share Posted March 14, 1999 Dear, Theo My husband Steve has the same problem he has to have chocolate.

I have resorted to eating a few chocolate chips, and hoping that when they say semi-sweet, that means 'not bad'. What do you think??? Theo I find that every now and then, it's ok to have a choc bar that's high in fat instead of a snack, because the fat will keep your sugar up (as apposed to it going up then shooting down low). I wouldn't advice this for everyday use though! Just when you REALLY GOTTA! Helen :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is ONElist important to you?

It still has plenty of carbs, fat and sugar, What is the advantage of paying more for a special diabetic bar, rather than buying a regular more satisfying bar (once in a great while)?

Guest guest Posted March 15, 1999 Report Share Posted March 15, 1999 The difference is that the Choice Bar is made with more complex carbohydrates. It will not cause the dramatic peak in bg that a candy bar will. I use them when I have had a late evening low, and want to eat something that will help carry me through the night.

In fact, when i lived in the US in 1997 and 1998, i was amazed at the amount of sugar-free stuff you guys have! The only things we have here is carob, diet-cran drink, diet choc topping (which tastes so bad!), um, that's all i can think of! It sux! My sugar cravings come all the time, and i can't do anything about it! It's torture! HELP!!!
