After you get past the withdrawls, things will get a lot easier and you'll feel more in charge and healthier! As to the sugar alcohols... these are in your low carb snack bars and candy... they are "supposed" to cancel out some of your carbs. I personally don't like to buy things with it b/c it has some very uncomfortable side effects. Some people believe that sugar alcohols (also known as polyol or maltitol)are non-impact carbs. For example... the glycemic value of maltitol is like 53... that's pretty high and will spike your blood sugar... leading (in my opinion) you right back to craving sugar all over again. These sugar alcohols are also not absorbed entirely ... leading you to what I mentioned above, the side effects. They have a laxative effect on your system leaving you with cramping, bloatedness, and gas... NOT PRETTY!
