I've been using them for over a year now and haven't encountered any problems. I think that may be an urban legend.Thomaston wrote:I've been working on my weight loss for 2 years now, sporadically. I'm 50 lb less now than I was this time in 2006, but there's more to go (15-20 lb).
I've recently been trying to do Weight Watchers with my wife, and we found out that there is supposedly some chemical in the 100-calorie packs that can make you feel hungry again. And I do find that I tend to have the munchies more if I've been eating those. So, that may be something to be cautious about.
When you think about it, just about every company now makes 100 calorie packs. The likelihood that they would have coordinated on including some substance to increase your munchies is pretty slim.
Hmmm...seems that Weight Watchers has their own brand of reduced-calorie munchies. Marketing at work, perhaps?
