Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / February 2004Atkins Gum
Has anyone tried the Atkins gum? It is sweetened with xylitol, 0 net carbs. >Has anyone tried the Atkins gum? It is sweetened with xylitol, 0 net >carbs. Haven't looked but I would expect a standard sugar-free gum to be a better product and cost much less than anything slapped with a low-carb/Atkins label. (typically LC is twice the cost of non-LC) DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) 350/325/200 Atkins since 1/12/2004 The net carbs game is a scam.  SignatureSomeone on my forum claimed to have gained 30 lbs in 3 months eating 800-1000 calories/day. In the FFID universe, 800 cal can magically cause weight gain. Lyle > Has anyone tried the Atkins gum? It is sweetened with xylitol, 0 net > carbs. Deducting indigestible fiber from Total Carbs makes sense to me. However, deducting Sugar Alcohols seems questionable. Oddly, Sugar Alcohols cause me such a massive session of hours long diarrhea, there must be a negative caloric value. Stopping digestion of everything else may save 1000+ calories. Some anorexics use laxatives to achieve this effect. This only happened once to me, but once was enough. What is "FFID?"

Have you tried the Atkins? The only gums I found with a quick search using zylitol were Trident and Carefree Koolerz. I thought there used to be more. I do know that some dentists recomment chewing gum with zylitol in it. I'm just looking for something to use as an occasional chew. Quitting smoking, ya know. The nicotine gum has glycerine and sorbitol in it, but no nutrional info because it's a med, I guess. I've learned the hard way that anything that says "Atkins" on the label is going to taste like crap and cost twice as much as another product with a very similar ingredient list. The company is run by people with seriously defective tastebuds. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2. Cut the carbs to respond to my email address!
