8. Watch out for those Quest bars

They list themselves as having something like 23 grams of carbs and 17 grams of fiber, leading you to think that of the 23 grams of carbs, 17 are fiber. What they really have, though, is 23 grams of carbs PLUS 17 grams of fiber. That's a lot of carbs. I figured it out after I noticed that Quest bars made my blood sugar skyrocket and did the math.

I've come to the conclusion that a glucose meter is your best friend for losing weight. Don't eat anything that makes your blood sugar go over 140 and you'll manage the insulin resistance that makes you hungry.
