I tried the low-carb chocolate milk, Hoods, I think. It was amazing. It was like drinking thin chocolate pudding.
Well worth the price.
I find low carb baked goods/mixes generally unpalatable. I do like the Russell Stower sugar alcohol chocolates/laxatives and “no added sugar” ice cream is delicious.
Not just extra fiber, a lot of the low-carb carbohydrates out there substitute soy flour for some of the wheat, which is higher in protein than wheat. The fiber and soy protein sound like a pretty good idea all around, low-carb or no, but you’re never gonna get the same texture. I don’t plan to try any of 'em, anyway.
Ever since I started this diet, I’ve become a vegetable fanatic. I eat more vegetables in a day most days than I used to do in a month. If I now go more than 2-3 days with few or no vegetables, I start feeling peaky.
Coca-Cola just rolled out Coca-Cola C2 in Japan. It’s a cola that has half the sugar/carbs/calories of regular colas.
It tastes like a mix of Coke and Diet Coke, kind of. Not as sweet as Diet Coke, but with that same chemical sweetener aftertaste. For me, I think it’d be easier to just cut down on cola rather than switch to C2.
I tried the Russell Stovers Low-Carb candy, but it’s definitely lacking something in texture. I’d rather just have an occasional small amount of the real thing.
Out of curiosity – why is this thread in Cafe Society instead of IMHO?
Some low-carb breads use wheat gluten instead of flour. Wheat gluten is the high protein part of the wheat grain.
