Everybody BEWARE of the hidden and the dreaded CARBS....I just noticed this very morning that my Caltrate chews have 7 carbs, and my gummy vits have 4 carbs (and I take two per day) for a grand total of 15, FIFTEEN, carbs!!!!!! Holy weight gain batman! And that doesnt EVEN include any nutrition....SO, I would love to stay under 35 carbs per day, however, I was sabotaging my WL and DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT!!!!

                                            BBBBBEEEEEWWWWAAAARRRRREEEEE
                                                 MUAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you counting NET carbs or just all carbs?

I forgot about the sugars in the vitamins! Not good! But glad you made mention of it, so we can all plan around it.

Exactly why I don't want to take those candy like supplements.  Have you took notice to the sugar content?  They are made with sugar syrups!

Who invented those things?  I can't understand why they can't make them sugar free lower caloried.  Yuck, a poison and nutrition combo bomb!  Choose your poison .

No fiber listed on the nut label, so I'm assuming, STRAIGHT UP CARBS !  


Oh, and a correction, the gummies are 2 per serving, so minus four carbs,,,,,,BUT STILL    ) :

Zee,
  BOMB is exactly right, which is exactly what will happen to my WLS goal if I don't switch (hee hee)... They probably weren't designed for WLS peeps......

LOL....yep I fell into that trap already. I was taking gummie viatmins before surgery. Luckily I was at Costco and I found a sugar free liquid vitamin...by Revia I believe. It actually is really good and does not have an after taste. It has as much fiber as 1 apple....I think it is only 2 net carbs if I remember correctly.

Gotta check all those labels when ever you buy stuff that is processed like that. I look for things that say sugar free and check the carb content. Some are made with sugar alcohols which up the carb content but don't impact the same as regular carbs.
