The first and most exciting is Carb Control Yogurt by Dannon. South Beach
includes fruit flavored yogurt in phase 2 and I like yogurt so I thought this would be good. However, I cringe at the sugars included. Carb Control comes in 4oz - 6packs, sweetened with Splenda. I had not seen it until yesterday. Tried the strawberries & cream this morning and it was good. Stats: 60 cal, 3g fat, 3g carbs, 5g protein. It will be a good addition to my mornings. Available in Strawberries & Cream, Peaches & Cream, Raspberries & Cream and Vanilla Cream. Next, for Christmas I got Dana Carpenders 500 low carb recipe book. My hubby says the other day how can chocolate chip cookies be low carb (they are pictured on the front). Rather than tell him all of the "different" ingredients, I bought everything and made them. I chopped up sugar free Hershey's dark chocolate miniatures for the chocolate chunks and followed the recipe. The cookies are... different. Light, and have an after-taste. Do you ever get use to Splenda? I guess I am glad they are not fabulous because then I would be gorging myself on low carb cookies and still not breaking the habits. I will probably take them into work and let the non low carb'er feast unknowingly. Otherwise, I have to say if you don't have a low carb cookbook, get one. Alleviating the boredom of eating the same things every day is my secret to success this time. For instance, yesterday I had a cheese omelet, topped with chili and cheese. Who would have thought. Strange looks from the family, but it was yummy. -- Melisa 203/171.5/140 http://www.users.qwest.net/~ztimm/blog/ |
