What The Heck Are Net Carbs?

What Are Net Carbs?

Since Jason hit his weight loss goal with SOTA earlier this year he’s graduated to their maintenance plan.  They’re still providing nutritional advice and counseling, but he’s on his own with buying protein bars and meal replacement shakes.  He’s kept his weight in the 240s so it seems he’s doing a good enough job, but the other day he noticed something weird on the label of his protein bars.  They list 4-7 net carbs on the front and then a much higher number of total carbs on the back.  So what’s the difference between net carbs and total carbs you ask?  Turns out it may just be flim flam marketing.  After some quick Internet research, we found out that net carbs are the ones your body actually can digest and absorb, so they’re the only ones you’re supposed to care about.

We also found out that if you’re going to heat at up a waffle-flavored protein bar in the microwave you should take off the wrapper even if it’s only for ten seconds. #TheMoreYouKnow

 

Is Deb’s Tree Trash?

In her diary today, Deb wanted to know if her fake Christmas tree was a trash tree because it came from Wal-Mart.  She wanted to go artificial, because her various pets get pine needles all over the house when she’s had a real one.  Deb had seen a bunch of pre-lit trees at Costco that were in the $300 range, so she decided to pick up one from Wal-Mart for cheaper.  However when she opened it up at home it was covered in glitter and now her house looks like stripper convention was held there.  Did she buy a trash tree?

And feel free to send us pictures of your holiday decorations and we’ll put them in up on a photo gallery!

 

I Love You Call

We covered an awesome story about a Florida Woman who was charged with a DUI hours after winning a golf cart from a vodka company, and it sparked a debate about how old you have to be to live in a retirement community.  To settle things we called the very retirement community from the story.
