    Hi Caroline.... when i spoke to my CDC about the bars she said that the only ones i could have on week 2 were the Peanut and Cranberry as the others where for maintenance stages as they are almost double the carbs... so be careful with those toffee ones.. maybe check with your CDC again or post...
