    Double Stuf Oreos: good or bad?

    DOUBLE GOOD.

    In fact, they're so good, that they make single stuf oreos bad carbs.

    Would single stuff Oreos be considered "diet Oreos" in comparison to double stuff?

    I'm starting to doubt your credentials. Double stuff oreos are an abomination! Regular oreos are perfect. Eat them as God intended!

    The pizookie at BJ's, where does it fall? I plan on getting one this weekend. Yay or nay?

    Which pizookie are we talking about? The list includes:

    chocolate chip
    peanut butter
    white chocolate/macadamia
    oatmeal raisin walnut
    oreo
    red velvet
    raspberry white chocolate almond
    triple chocolate made with Ghirardelli chocolate

    HOW DARE YOU.

    There is chocolate chip, and there are imposters. Choose wisely.

    Someone hasn't had Blue Bunny's triple chocolate cake. I refuse to think that is a bad carb!

    YES. Anything 'DIET' is a bad carb, except for diet pepsi and diet coke. Since they have no carbs, they are good by default.

    Your preaching would be better suited for a private group, not the main forums.

    If it comes from a plant it must be a vegetable....

    warming the carbs up does it count if it's done in the oven? does warming it up by letting it sit out on the counter help build up the good carbs?

    as far as ice cream cakes go would Carvel Ice cream cake with the crunch in the middle be a good carb?

    I don't want to split hairs- however you want to do it is fine. :happy:

    They're actually rather small...however, they do have a family-sized one that's about as big as a large pizza. With that one you have the option of 4 different flavors of cookie and there are 7 scoops of ice cream. I believe it's called the "Diabetic Coma" on the menu; but I could be mistaken...

    Someone on my FL suggested this too- I honestly don't know. More research needs to be done. But frozen cake is still nasty.

    There's a lot of discussion here about good carbs and bad carbs- and how good carbs are OK if you eat them the right way. So, I have decided to clear the air and set the record straight about the RIGHT WAY TO EAT CARBS.

    I'll start with the BAD CARBS, the WRONG WAY:
    1) Cookies do not belong in candy bars. Twix are bad carbs.
    2) Ice cream cake is gross. Who wants frozen cake? Nobody. There's nothing wrong with ice cream along side room temperature or warm cake.
    3) Chocolate chip cookies do not need nuts. Bad carbs.
    4) Chocolate chips turn oatmeal raisin cookies to bad carbs.
    5) Raspberry flavored everything is bad carbs. Let's stick with strawberry, people. Have your raspberries in ketone form the way god intended.
    6) Keep bakery treats out of ice cream. I do not want a cold, soggy brownie or cookie mixed in to my ice cream. See suggestion above re: cake.

    ^^^YOU WILL GET FAT** BY OVERINDULGING* ON THESE BAD CARBS ROUTINELY. ^^^
    *overindulging in this case means eating above TDEE including these carbs
    **get fat means gain weight in this specific usage, no comment intended about body composition

    GOOD CARBS include:
    1) Cakes and cupcakes warmed up or room temperature.
    2) Hot apple pie
    3) Bagels
    4) Pancakes
    5) Waffles
    4) Cinnamon buns
    5) Donuts
    6) Fudge
    7) Cookie dough
    8) Ice Cream - Ice cream should be separate from all the above, but pairs well with any of them. (bagels might be pushing it, but I wouldn't say it's a BAD carb combo, more like neutral) Just don't force icecream to become a hybrid food!

    ^^^YOU WILL NOT GET FAT BY INCLUDING GOOD CARBS 'AS PART OF A BALANCED DIET'*^^
    As part of a balanced diet means that you stay within your calorie and macro limits, and does not apply to those with a specific metabolic condition/disease such as IR, diabetes, PCOS, etc.

    This is a non-inclusive list. Feel free to ask about other specific foods and I will tell you whether they fall under good carbs or bad carbs. It may seem confusing, but I am here to help. :bigsmile:

    you have clearly spent too much time thinking about this subject.

    "bad" carbs have safe words.
    good carbs don't know what a safe word is.
