[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2142477, member: 400972"] If you’re looking for low carb ones, I can recommend Phd Smart bars or Carb Killas, both available in Tesco. On the face of it the total carb count is high, however they are sweetened with Polyols (sugar alcohols, neither sugar or alcohol though). Most people don’t absorb Polyols so doesn’t affect blood sugars, some posting on this forum do get a spike though. So to work out the ‘impact’ carbs you need to subtract the Polyol carb count from the total carb count. They all have a warning “excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.” I’m lucky that I don’t get a spike or a laxative effect. [/QUOTE]
