Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004The Day Has Arrived! (Entenmans)
When I first started this five years ago, I remember that low fat was all the rage. I think the thing that killed my LF diet was when Entenmans cakes came out with those wonderful "zero fat", loaded with sugar goodies. Well THE DAY HAS ARRIVED...... I see tons of Entenmans LOW CARB cakes and cookies in my supermarket. Well they're not exactly low carb, but certainly much better than the regular stuff. That is if you're a believer in the net carb BS. What do you all think?

What do you all think? If all they did was remove sugar/flours and substitute it with sugar alcohols, the stuff will be almost as bad as the regular. I think Jenny pointed out that Maltitol is about 75% glucose, so depending upon the sugar/starch substitution they are making it may be all marketing. The only net I'm counting now is carbs minus fiber. If a low-carb product turns into less than 4cals per gram in the body then I will simply be erring on good side of my carb limit by using them.

They will be as much of a commercial success as SnackWells and other lowfat treats are. carla Carla, Not only will people buy them, but people will believe they are on low carb diets while slugging down 100+ grams of carbs a day. Their weight loss will stall, their cholesterol will shoot up (carbs over 100 g plus a bunch of fat is the prescription for dietary disaster).

That's exactly the reason that I haven't slid back down to where I started (on maintenance for 5 months). I can have my cake and eat it too.

In my opinion, this stuff is just useless calories. SignatureBob in CT Remove ".x" to reply Cookie, We diabetics also notice that even the world's most conservative Diabetes organization, the American Diabetes Association explains that you have to count half of carb grams of a sugar alcohol as real carbs. Counting half of the maltitol in the Entenmann's as real carbs boosts the true carb counts of their products way over 9 grams. The mistake people make is that because they can eat these products and still lose or maintain, they believe the carb counts on these products. In fact, it just means that their bodies can handle more carbs than they realize. I can eat an occasional restaurant dinner roll and still lose or maintain. That doesn't make regular dinner rolls (22 grams a piece) low carb. -- 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!

I prefer Julia Child's way of looking at food: [paraphrasing] There is no such thing as a bad food. It's all about portion size and self-control. Some people know how to master it (or never had to worry about it to begin with); the ones who don't get sick and/or fat.

Surely, you are right. If you can manage to, first, limit your calories while eating junk food, and two, get all necessary nutrients, then all the power to you. A frequent case for fat people, though, is that junk food, ice creams etc, make controlling calories much more difficult. For dieters who have to stay low cal, getting enough vitamins/fiber/whatever becomes also difficult if you eat high calorie low nutrient food. I am one of those people. What I am objecting to is the notion that low carb labeled junk food is somehow much superior to regular junk food, which it is not. i >> Ignoramus28275 <ignoramus28275@NOSPAM.28275.invalid> wrote in >> news:c2shos [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > i I agree -- you might as well eat the regular junk food (although finding any junk food without transfat is hard).

That's because transfats do not go rancid after the product spends a couple of months on store shelves.

I agree. To parrot what at least one other poster said, I'd rather taste a 60g slice of homemade cake than a 40g slice of low-carb processed 'cake' made by Atkins. But that's a personal preference and not everyone needs to agree with me. Some people prefer the taste of processed stuff and wouldn't know a good ganache if they stepped in it. Cate Entenmans is not low carb. SignatureMost of us probably aren't in danger of eating too little. :) Becky P. > When I first started this five years ago, I remember that low fat was all > the rage.

What do you all think? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I hate this stuff. I am JUST getting my dad convinced that this diet will work for him (he needs to lose badly) since he has seen my 74 pounds loss (341 now baby !! from 415) he bought the damned entimans. I said do you know how many carbs this thing is ? he said yeah 9. I was like first thats almost half your allowance and second NO your wrong. it has over 60 something cards. that is PER serving and a serving is VERY VERY SMALL.

It is 9 effective carb grams per serving. One serving is 1/8 of the cake, about 3/4" thick. I've learned to measure it out, wrap each piece individually and refrigerate half, freeze the other half. I like it but I don't love it and I'm able to eat a half slice happily. Like everything else, this isn't for everybody. Generally, if it makes you stumble and binge, don't even have it in the house The Day has also arrived for Low Carb YOGURT!!! you have to pick you passions with all the LC products and not use them to replace everything you once ate that was bad for you - sure this stuff is nice to have around, but the people who have success with this program use these LC products OCCASIONALLY, not every day or every week - its nice to know that when I have company for dinner once in a while I can have a slice of LC poundcake & berrieswhile they eat the regular stuff- but your kidding yourself if you substitute lots of LC products for "real food" on this WOE - > you have to pick you passions with all the LC products and > not use them to replace everything you once ate that was [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > your kidding yourself if you substitute lots of LC products for "real food" > on this WOE - Absolutely! I used the poundcake for strawberry shortcake for my family and company last week. Nobody noticed the difference and I got to enjoy it along with them. It is an occasional thing and should be used as such. Frankly I am usually too full from real food to even want dessert most of the time but I do like it sometimes. > Absolutely!

I agree, I'm sick of the "my way or the hiway food nazis." These LC products have a place when they are used correctly as part of an overall diet. For some reason, some people think that most of us are going to make them the center piece of our diets, instead of using them occasionally in moderation. > > Absolutely! I used the poundcake for strawberry shortcake for my family and > > company last week. Nobody noticed the difference and I got to enjoy it along [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > going to make them the center piece of our diets, instead of using > them occasionally in moderation. Well, some of us don't have the nicest way of putting it, but I'll try to explain my opinion on these low-carb products. Here's an analogy: Imagine you are a freshman in college, and getting good grades is so much harder than it was in highschool. So you work your a.s off and study as much as you can. Your dorm mate, however, has decided to listen to subliminal-message tapes while he sleeps that will impart knowledge into his brain without his needing to study at all during the day. Now, if you imagine yourself in that situation, and if you think you would be a bit skeptical of your dorm mate's chance for success, then you may understand how we feel. "We" being people who don't eat low-carb versions of high-carb foods. It's not just that we're skeptical of these products, it's also that we value the change in mindset that comes from learning to live without certain foods, instead of looking for substitutes. That mindset change is a big part of the WOE for a lot of people. If you look for substitutes for cakes, cookies, candies, etc, then from a "purist's" perspective it looks like you're missing the whole point of changing the way you eat.

For me, I'd rather eat the real stuff. (Although I personally don't consider store-bought, high sugar and trans-fat containing Entenmans the real stuff.) Why eat something that has an ingredient list longer than post pages in a dictionary? Go buy a piece of cake and eat it or make it yourself and freeze portions of it.

That's fine as long as you realize that people can digest sugar alcohols into glucose, affecting blood sugar level, whether you maintain ketosis and are not necessarily free or netted out. Question is, are people proving out to themselves that these products aren't hurting their weight loss or just accepting them barring some horrible and obvious consequence. A good test is to have a siginificant serving of this for a few days in a row and see if you stop losing or gain weight(deterring from previous pattern). I found that a 18g maltitol muffin cut my weight loss in half. A 60g slice of low carb cake might hurt you as much as a 50g slice of real cake. I'd rather have the real stuff if the LC isn't going to help stay the course.

What do you all think? I have a bridge to sell you... i Since I started this thread let me attempt to wrap it up. The point I was making, is how mainstream LC has become when a product like Entenmans makes a splash! Sure it's not exactly a piece of steak, but it's sure a long way from the sugar laden low fat cakes of 5 years ago. I've not had one single piece of bread, cake, pasta, fruit, rice, in 5 years this April. Now I can enjoy a "net carb" 9 gram slice of pound cake, or store bought icecream once in a while. It's great. As to the smug will power comments.... duh.... isn't that the problem we all have? If we could ever look at food as gas for our car, we wouldn't have this problem at all. Unfortunately we love food.... love to eat well, and look forward to our next meal. If you've truly gotten past that, god bless you!

What do you all think? Folks have bad habits that got them fat in the first place. Rather than being willing to change their bad habits, most want a magic bullet. It doesn't matter that no magic bullet exists, if you lie on the label and claim you're selling a magic bullet, you can make enough money to retire before the USDA goes after you for truth in labelling law violations. Magic bullet nonsense zero fat cakes trashed the low fat movement in the popular view. Magic bullet nonsense low carb cakes will trash the low carb movement in the popular view.

It was the chcocolate chip cookies. Ah yes. That one had maltitol as the number one ingredient, IIRC. Do you have any idea how many your sons ate? Maltitol scares me--and I'm sort-of glad it does. I tried a couple of little peanut butter cookies at one point and thought there was something seriously wrong with my stomach. I had a maltitol-sweetened brownie in the freezer for quite a while, then I thought I might eat it, but I ended up tossing it in the trash.
