Elite sweet doughnuts.



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried these Protein doughnuts. I found them on Amazon? ? They are pretty expensive, but… does anyone know how they figure out the net carbs? I googled it and it’s something about the sugar alcohol they use being subtracted but I’ve never heard of this.

Net carbs are the carbohydrates in food that you can digest and use for energy. To calculate net carbs, take a food's total carbs and subtract: Fiber. Since our body doesn't have the enzymes to break down fiber, it passes through our digestion system unchanged. Lots of items i notice NET CARBS. One i eat currently are flour tortillas that have 4G net carbs. Lowest i could find.

You would also subtract sugar alcohols since they don't have an effect on blood sugar. Beware though, too much sugar alcohol could give you the runs...

Now I'm going to have to try these. I don't keep foods like this around, but for an occasional treat, might be great. The reason I don't keep them around is, even though its all Protein, because of the sweet taste I might over eat them, at the expense of eating healthier stuff. Thats something I am working on.

I was hoping that they freeze well. That trick seems to work for me. If I have to defrost it I only do if I really want it. Whereas if it’s just Sitting right there I may eat more.

Yes, generally sugar alcohols are not included in net carbs, but it might give you tummy troubles. I haven't found that to be an issue for me, but I tend to keep my portions small when eating things with sugar alcohols (better anyway, since these aren't usually the healthiest foods).

I haven't tried the doughnuts, but I did like the Welch's Zero Sugar fruit gummies. I haven't been able to find those again, not even on Amazon!

Ooh i bet those welches ones are good. Have you tried the Albanese brand in the no sugar? I am not a huge Gummy bear fan but I thought they were okay. My husband eats them often. They sometimes carry them at Walmart so you can try just one pack at least. But if you like them they are easier to find on Amazon. Just be careful cause the regular sugar ones look exactly the same it just says no sugar on one corner of the package.

I haven't tried those. I have to be careful because a lot of the zero sugar things are made with stevia and it tastes terrible if not mixed with other sweeteners. Also, I only like red/purple/blue flavors, so I would probably waste half the bag, not like that would be a bad thing!

I tried the SmartSweets Swedish Fish and I didn't care for them, but I might try other flavors of those.

I know I got the Welch's at LAX, and I'll be there in a few weeks, so hopefully I can stock up LOL.

Shoppgirl, I wish the freezer trick worked. Once in awhile I will put something in the freezer and forget about it. But knowing I can just stick it in the microwave for a few seconds is too convenient!.

I just received these doughnuts and apparently they do freeze well cause it says to refrigerate or freeze them right away because there are no preservatives. They are good for 30 days in fridge or 6 months in freezer. As if they will last that long. lol. I just tried one of the cinnamon sugar ones and they are quite tasty in my opinion. I mean it’s not a real doughnut but not bad considering.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
