Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Extracts, carbs?
I think I asked this before, but reviewing the posts, never found my post or the replies? Do pure extracts (like vanilla, peppermint, almond, etc used in baking) have carbs? Why not add these to decafe coffee with a Splenda? Thx for replies  SignatureOnly Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar and fat. ~Alex Levine ***************************************** Maybe it's true that life begins at fifty. But...everything else starts to wear out, fall out, or spread out. ~Unknown The cardiologist's diet: If it tastes good .. spit it out. ~Unknown Why do you use decaf coffee? Doesn't caffeine enhance the thermogenic effect?

Why not add these to decafe coffee with a Splenda? I do use them a lot for flavoring various liquids. You get a lot of flavor for very little carb.

Other extracts don't, as far as I've seen. Vanilla extract is usually listed as .3g per teaspoon. Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute." |
