Is this low carb food easily spotted in the supermarket? I never seen it before.

Our Sainsbury has stopped doing Carb Options now...I used to buy their strawberry breakfast bars, really yummy. Tesco has also stopped selling their own make locarb range as well, not sure why

It does take a bit of getting use to It was funny today at our work staff meeting as everybody was stuffing their faces with crisps, sandwiches, jaffa cakes (I didn't have any) and then they are all taking about how hungry they are about 30 mins later.

Donna yes you can have the cheese, I usually keep some Stilton, Brie and Cheddar in my fridge to snack on

Later on once you have lost the weight if you like cheese and crackers, Carrs do a very nice biscuit, they are called Carrs melts, they are fairly low carb, the cheese melts variety are 2.6g carbs per cracker and are delicious

What about things like yoghurts?

Sorry lots of questions, but just things I still have in my fridge from the low fat option.

Mags I think once the low carb craze had died down a bit the supermarkets weren't selling much of the low carb food. I think personally because a lot of people decided if they ate regular food in moderation they would be ok, I for one have stopped buying low carb products, before in the past I have bought,

Bread
Ketchup
Pasta
Jams
Sweets
Syrups
Breakfast bars
Breakfast cereal
etc etc

Low fat yoghurts will have more sugar in them than the regular stuff, If they have good a good date on them I would eat them as a treat say at the weekend otherwise it is a shame to waste them.

There has been a lot of talk as to whether the carb content in natural yoghurt does affect weight gain, I know a lot of people who low carb who also eat yoghurt (plain) as part of their daily plan and they say it does not affect them at all.

Donna a lot of the carb options food, especially the sauces are higher than some of the own supermarket brands. For currys I buy curry PASTE and add cream, coconut milk, butter, sour cream and it is lower than the carb options stuff.

Their pasta isn't too bad

Website was intersting. I think it is more down to making my own sauces. My kids love spaghetti bolognaise and I would love to still be able to do that so we can all eat similar foods. And what about gravy????????
