Low carb food

Hi LeeLee, i just had a look at the list & things look still quite high in carbs. I certainly dont have a sweet tooth but let us know what you find 🙂
 
I buy several things from these guys pretty regularly. The low-carb wraps are REALLY good - 7g compared to the usual 30g and make my Mexican cooking a lot less hassle on my BG. This is also a good place to buy shiritake noodles and I tend to also get some of the Simply Delish jellies as snack items.

The Da Vinci syrups look good but I'm not 100% sure on them. I bought the caramel one for my missus as she likes a caramel shot in her coffee and she wants to cut on calories but after one cup of the stuff she won't touch the bottle anymore, although I can't taste the difference. They do also have stock issues - I've been on their waiting list for cherry syrup for over a year as I've wanted to make my own cherry cola and they still don't have any. Avoid the Dreamfields stuff as well, I've heard from others in the States that these claim to be lower carb but don't work out that way on your blood sugar. Also the sweets are terrible - I made the mistake of eating a pack of sugar free cherries and promptly spent the afternoon listening to my stomach sound like an interesting accident in a brewery and in one memorable acheivement, doing a continuous 45-second fart. :D

Delivery also isn't cheap, it's about ?6 even for a small package. But I completely rely on them for the noodles, which I can't say enough good things about. They're amazing.
 
LOL at the sweets Deus - it's usually cos they use sorbitol to sweeten, it's always had that effect !
 
These ones use maltitol - disappointingly, I've also discovered that this affects my blood sugar pretty much in the same way that actual sugar does, so these are doubly no go for me.

Although I have to say I did derive a certain perverse satisfaction from my achievement. It was like deflating a balloon....
 
oh dear god Deus you've just had me in tears from laughter in my office - physically couldn't stop giggling for about 3 minutes continuously (so much so that 2 collegues had to ask if I was ok)!!!!!!

your posts should come with a warning! 🙂

i need to go to the ladies now to fix my face - i probably look like a panda.....
 
Seems like plastic food to me & dont think i will getting any :(
 
The noodles and the wraps aren't any more 'plasticky' than anything else you'd buy - they're just made with alternative flours (konnyaku for the noodles, soybean for the wraps). You're right about the jelly and the atkins stuff thought.
