Polyols???

[sealy27]

Hello All!

I have a question regarding calculating carbs?

I have a pack of WW Butterscotch Drops...

They have per box:

Carbs 36.3g
Of which Sugars 0.2g
Polyols 36.1g

What do I need to count as the carbs??!

Sorry if that sounds like a silly Q - but read somewhere that you deduct the Polyols (and fibre) from the Carb total?

Help!

Thanks for the link Jim...very intereseting read!

I guess i should try and avoid them, but if i do eat them, do they count towards my daily carb count?

Thanks

No love, you can subtract them. Don't sound good do they.

lol...they sound like i should defo be avoiding them! ;o)...but sometimes the sweet cravings are just too much to bare, so atleast i can stay in Ketosis and satisfy those pesky cravings!

Thanks again )

I know love, anything that helps. Be warned, p[olyols can have an extreme laxative effect on some people.
