Low Carb Bars
Hello everyone! I am a former Atkins dieter and I am very much used to eating low carb bars as a filling sweet snack that help me get through that 3:00 lull at work.
Are these bars ok? Here are the ingredients:
ATKINS MORNING START BAR CREAMY CINAMON BUN:
Protein Blend (Soy Protein Isolate, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Calcium/Sodium Caseinate, (Whey Protein Isolate) Glycerin, Polydextrose (Fiber), Cocao Butter, Water, NAtural Coconut Oil (Non-Hydrogenated), Cellulose, Olive Oil, Lecithin, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Palm Kernel Oil, Cocoa Powder processed with Alkali, Maltodextrin, Guar Gum, Citric Acid, Vitam B1 (Thiamin), Folic Acid, Vitamin E.
SLIMFAST LOW CARB PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH BAR:
Malitol Syrup, Milk Chocolate Flavored Coating (fractionated palm kernel oil, crythritol inulin, whole mik powder, cocoa, butter oil, partially hydrogenated palm oil, soy lethicin, natural and artificial flavor, vanilla, salt, sucralose, ground roasted peanuts, gum arabick salt, caramel color, maltodextrin, TBHQ and citric acid preservatives
CARBOLITE CHOCOLATE COVERED PEANUTs:
Sugar Free Milk Chocolate (Erythritol, Oligofructose, Coca Butter, Chocolate Liquor, Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Caseinate, Milk Fat, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Soy Lethicin, Maltodextrin, Sucralose, Magnesium Chloride, Zinc Citrate, Chromium Chlorise), Peanuts, Maltitol, Artificial Colors, Gum Arabic, Sorbitol, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Cocunut Origin), citric acid, sorbic acid, carnuba wax, confectioners glaz, sucralose, and traces of other nuts.
Keep in mind I had weight loss surgery about 10 yrs ago so I do not absorb all fats, although I do absorb all sugar (results in weight gain). Are any/all of these OK to have as a snack on SB? If not, do the unapproved ingredients affect weight loss?
Thank you!
