Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004on the brink
So.. I'm convinced low-carb is about to change the food industry forever.. In the past few months, low carb food has showed up in our local supermarkets.. in the past few weeks, 7-11 has put up a low carb section, and Subway has their new wraps..I asked the subway working how the wraps were selling, and he said "really well".. 7-11 guy said that they just put up the display on the weekend, and they are selling so well, they're going to expand that section. It's pretty exciting, wouldn't you agree? > So.. I'm convinced low-carb is about to change the food industry > forever..

Yes, but now they can put a low carb label on it and charge you three times more.

I sure do--and that's one reason why I keep running around to see what the stores are up to. Hmmm. There are a couple of markets I haven't been to for a while. I'll have to see if they have jumped onto the band wagon yet. SignatureJean B. > So.. I'm convinced low-carb is about to change the food industry > forever..

There have been the "natural" LC foods, so to speak, all along in our stores, but it's nice to see the low-carb WOE being pushed to the forefront more and more instead of the low-fat diet that likes to focus on pastas, starchy veggies, and breads.

One of the local supermarket fliers this week had some carb counts marked...chicken breasts 0 g/carb, egg salad (from the deli counter) 2 g/carb per serving, and a few others, all of the same sort. (I forget whether this was Shaws or Stop and Shop...)

They had almost a whole page in this weeks circular devoted to 'low carb' sale things. > > One of the local supermarket fliers this week had some carb counts > > marked...chicken breasts 0 g/carb, egg salad (from the deli counter) 2 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Stop and Shop. They had almost a whole page in this weeks circular devoted > to 'low carb' sale things. Again? Last week had lots of items. I was thinking that was it for a while. Now I gotta run down and take a look.... Well, well, well... Stop & Shop: bars and shakes (which I won't comment on), Smart Ones (w/ packages adorned with the new "Truth About Carbs" labels; some 2 for $4; some 99 cents), some Atkins products, Carb Smart ice cream (3.99; not as good as the recent sale, but still a sale), low-carb cookies (are these made in-house--packaging looks that way--all on the front page yet! Inside: Carb Smart bars (1.99), Soy Slender. Shaws: Carb Smart bars and Ice Cream (bars more expemsive than S&S; ice cream less expensive), Smart Ones (4 for $7--oh, these EXCLUDE the low-carb entrees; forget that), a few items in the Wild Harvest section. Market Basket: a whole page of LC items on sale. Various Atkins products; CarbRite bars; sugar-free Jello; Diet apple juice cocktail (hmm, that could be useful); their own light breads; Joseph's Middle East LC Pitas (made with oat bran and WW flour--gonna have to look at those); other breads.... Roche Bros.: Lean Cuisine Cafe Classics (half price; are any of these the LC ones?); Carb Smart bars (2 for $5). Hmmmm. They are apparently producing their own LC multigrain bread (at stores with full bakeries only), so maybe they will be getting more LC items. Too bad it is so cold out. Now I see I'm going to have to look around before these sales end. SignatureJean B. Krogers (big grocery chain) in today's paper mentions a new name brand: Carb Options, and the following low carb products under that name.

(I forget > whether this was Shaws or Stop and Shop...) Oh! Better look at those flyers. I don't think I'm going to go a-looking today though. It's Very cold here again. -10F when I got up. :-( SignatureJean B. |
