This happens to a lot of people. Try to stay away from these products that are capitalizing on Atkins. Most often, they use creative techniques to advertise a low carb count (eg, "malitol has a negligible effect on blood sugar levels). These ingredients do effect some people, and can quickly sabotage the diet.
When in doubt, use the calorie formula to find the "hidden" carbs: (9 X Fats) + (4 X Carbs) + (4 X Protein) = Total Calories. If you come up short on calories with a "low carb" product, there are probably hidden carbs and creative labeling involved.
