NEt Carbs

[Prana]

Went protein bar shopping. To fit my daily diet plan, I need a low carb and fat bar. The carb epidemic has become so complicated. The bars I finally bought have 18g's carb (1g net carb) and 1.5 g fat / bar

The 1 g carb will have affect on my insulin levels, and the others are just sugar alcohols which I do not count toward my carb intake?? And I know I count the cals that the carbs count for but just not sure about the carbs and if I should eat the bars in the evening after I have already trained earlier...

I'm not a big bar fan. I don't believe there is any room in a cutting diet for them cuz there's far too much crap in them.
I'd much rather you get your nutrients from whole foods or whey shakes. That's just my opinion though.

Yes they do count towards ur carb intake because at the end of the day they are calories

Bars are loaded with Crap Prana
I'm not a fan of them either
most of the proteinin them is not good and not digestible and forget about label claims!

I posted some long stuff about net carbs somewhere here before

Muay Thai Guy, what a great article!! So the sugar alcohols actually dont spike the insulin AS MUCH AS glucose however it is still running through the blood.. I am wondering what happens to the "non impact carbs" after absorption? I mean the digestion process? are the sugar alcohols stored in the liver then just like glucose? Does the liver have to detoxifiy them first? I want to know exactly how these "non impact carbs" are digested step by step! Im so interested in this scam!!

Anyways, this is my favorite quote from the article":

"Hard core gym-goers are the ultimate in craziness; they read and
study muscle magazines as if the information they
contain is the Holy Grail. They spend hours every day
micro-managing their diets and workout routines, trying
anything to add an extra pound of muscle"

FINALLY, someone understands!! ha ha

Thanks again, that should be a sticky IMO
