The "CarbRite Chocolate Brownie Bars" are a good choice for those seeking low carb snacks. Being a type 2 diabetic, I am always looking for low carb products that taste good. Here are my observations:Pros:
+ Good Tasting; these are not candy bars, but they taste much better than most other "low carb" bars I have tried
+ Low Carb; only 2.5 NET carbs, but a lot of the other carbs come from Maltitol (see "Cons", below)
+ High Protein; 21g per bar
+ Very Filling; unlike a lot of other low carb snacks, these bars are actually fairly filling (likely due to the high protein content)
Cons:
- Contains Maltitol, which can cause "gastric distress" in some people - start of with small amounts if you don't know it will affect your system
Misc:
* 190 Calories per bar
* Chewy Consistency
Overall, these bars are a satisfying low carb snack choice that have a good flavor and do not significantly impact my blood sugar levels.
Recommended!

The Doctor's CarbRite Diet Bar will satisfy even the most demanding sweet tooth. So if you are sick of low carb bars that taste like cardboard, we recommend the Doctor's CarbRite Diet Bar. No prescription needed! Aside from conventional carbs, there's another class of unconventional carbs called polyols or sugar alcohols. Not truly a carb, these nutrients are commonly found in sugar-free foods to impart sweetness and texture. Nutrients such as maltitol and glycerine, do not cause a significant rise in insulin levels because the body has a hard time absorbing them. This is good because low carb dieting is all about controlling insulin, the hormone which triggers fat storage. Our products all have very low levels of net impact carbs and are therefore perfect for a low carb dieter like you. High in protein. Sugar free. No hydrogenated oils/ trans fat. No artificial sweeteners. No preservatives. Gluten-free.
