Has anyone else tried these cookies - Strength Systems USA Perfect
Protein Cookies? I tried all four kinds. Peanut butter chip is the best,
but it's a little high in net-c's. The vanilla chip and chocolate chip
are delicious. The oatmeal raisin needs help.

google alt.support.diet.low-carb for "fake low carb food" "net carb
fraudulent" etc.

Most of these products -- almost all -- are fraudulent in nature and
are not low carb. There is no legal definition of "net carb", so
manufacturers get away with all kinds of lies and deceptions.

For example, they do not count carbs such as sugar alcohols towards
the carb count.

cookies are not low carb.

Stevia belongs to a family called Terpenoids. According to the book
called The Organic Constitutents of Higher Plants by Trevor Robinson,
2nd edition, page 158, "This class of glycosides (terpenoids) often
have physiological effects on mammals and microorganisms." Perhaps the
effect is good, perhaps it is bad; but its molecular structure
resembles a steroid.

There are all kinds of steroids. The point is that plant steroids could
have any number of effect in humans and vice versa

I can count on one hand the number of cookies I have had in 1 year since
starting my WOE plan.

Why do folks *insist* on supplementing/enabling what was obviously a bad
habit for you in the first place. It may be just me, but if I am going
to eat cookies, I'm gonna EAT COOKIES. Real ones. Sweet ones, ones that
are homemade, warm, chewy and totally decadent.
Maybe I'm odd, but I can't stand store bought cookies in the first
place, and secondly.. I really can't stand fake ones. Not saying I'm
superior by any means LCFL (apology to the OP if I sound offensive.)
I just don't grasp the mentality of fake foods.

While I agree with you 100%, it is hard to make any sort of cookies
without transfats if you want them to be able to spend weeks on store
shelves. Without transfats, they would become rancid.
