Availability of low carb products
Where would you like to shop for low carb products in the future? Specialist low carb suppliers? Chemists? At the supermarket, along with all your other groceries? Online? Physical shops? What products would you like to be able to buy? What special ingredients would you like to be able to get? |

Re: Availability of low carb products
Hi I am just starting the Atkins diet and have been looking around my local supermarkets for low carb foods but there is not a lot of choice around. I don't mind cooking but don't relish making my own bread and it would lovely to be able to buy low carb bread |

Re: Availability of low carb products
Hi Lorraine For those of us who are in the UK, we're just starting to see 'low carb' bread in the high street shops. I've seen a Nimble version, and just recently I saw a Hovis low carb bread. Whether they are any use to individual low carbers depends of course on what the individual's daily carb limit is. These breads are too high for mine, by the time I've allowed for lots of healthy vegetables etc. No UK manufacturer or supplier has yet brought out a 'real' bread which is only 1 or 2 carbs per slice, though, to my knowledge. However, there are plenty of recipes for 'flatbreads' which you can use to make sandwiches with, or toast etc. These are often made with flaxmeal - there are some recipes for flatbreads in the Low Carb is Easy Cookbook at www.lowcarbiseasy/cookbook.htm. |

Re: Availability of low carb products
being on a low carb diet in the uk is getting better but it still means going to tesco for soya milk and wraps, asda for sweeeties and meat, sainsubury for chocolate, boots for cuppa soups and croissant, holland and barrett for protien powder and soya flour and markies for coleslaw. its expensive and time consuming. i feel it is time low carb dieters make demands on the supermarkets that we are a big consumer group and we want to be catered for just like low carbers in the USA. i am annoyed with my local tesco in particular who started a low carb range only to withdraw the nice things almost immediatly,(a low carb pizza at only 9 grams!! i know it is high for one item but it was such a good treat). they withdrew it within four weeks of introduction at my local store, they say they weren't selling well enough but i didn't see them advertised anywhere... i think lots more people would have bought them had they only known about them... |

Re: Availability of low carb products
I think GCAL makes a good point - places like Tescos bring in 'low carb' products, but don't seem to realise that they need to tell us they are there. Then they have the cheek to tell us the products didn't sell! It doesn't help when they put the products somewhere obscure, such as chocolate bars next to the vitamins - I guess putting 'our' products alongside their 'normal' counterparts is just too radical! I'm sure if lots of individual low carbers bombard Tesco and others with emails they'll start to notice us - equally, if anyone wants to email me with their full name and town/county and a short request for the kind of products you want, then I'll be happy to collect them up, pass them on to the relevant supermarket/store chain and publish any response I get at Low Carb is Easy.com.
