I minimize the eating of processed foods. I have, however, eaten low carb
tortillas, ketchup, and chocolat milk. For the latter, it goes bad before
I can finish it. Peanut butter is good. The rest, I use very sparingly
and I try to avoid anything with sugar alcohols, particularly maltitol,
which does not get along with me.

Prior to deciding that I would start a low-carb life style, as a diabetic,
all of these foods listed were a god-send for me in order to help control my
BG readings.

It's going to be tough to give them up........So eating some of these
wouldn't amount to what low-carbing is all about? I mean, if after
induction, couldn't some of these be eaten once in while and still lose
weight?

I guess I am one of the lucky ones, sugar alcohols and malitol do not affect
my BG readings or my system.

All no's.

low-carb milk?

Don't know.

low-carb chocolate milk?
low-carb Special K cereal?
low-carb Hershey Chocolate Bars?
low-carb Atkins shakes?
Smart-carb ice cream bars?

No's.

Kraft low-carb salad dressings?

Most dressings are fine, so I see no point, but I guess okay.

low-carb beer?

All lite beers are low carb beer, but I don't think beer is a good idea on a
regular basis if you really want to lose weight.


low-carb barbeque sauce?
low-carb ketchup?
low-carb peanut butter?

If you must, but I don't.

low-carb pasta?
sugar-free jello?
sugar-free pop?
low-carb tortillas?

No.

chicken wings with hot sauce?

This is fine and I am not sure why it is on the list. Good stuff!

JMHO,
Curt

You're wrong. several of those items listed are REAL low-carb products. The
fake ones are generally those with sugar alcohols or lies on the labels.
the LC version may not taste as good as the high carb version, which is
usually a good sign that is really is LC.
