Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Mass. Residents: Have You Found These Products?
I have been looking for the following things, with no luck: SoBe Lean Beverages--I found ONE stray bottle at Stop & Shop. Otherwise, I just see SoBe and no SoBe Lean. Arizona Tea Diet--in the two fruit flavors I have seen mentioned. I see the Arizona Tea everywhere, but I only see some diet Ginseng variety. (Can you tell I miss my juices? Crystal Light's ruby grapefruit is decent, if you can handle aspartame. Ocean Spray's Light Ruby is good although a bit sweet. Too carby for me to drink on its own, but okay mixed with something else.) The new low-carb magazine--I have only looked at S&S thus far but will try to look at some other stores this afternoon. If it is any good, I want to start with the first issue, which is on the news stand now. Hmmm. Who has a good magazine section???? Other things I have not seen: the new Ragu sauces, the new light and healthy Tropicana OJ (which is still too carby; I just want to see when it gets to this area). I just can't resist looking around for things, even though it can be frustrating. Two of the three 7-Elevens I went to in the last two days have Atkins signs up, but they have very little merchandise, and that seems to vary. I did find a couple of kinds of Z-bars (finally) at one of them and got one of the bars with macadamias. (I don't like milk chocolate.) Another store had At Last bars (by CarboRite (odd on the front it says CarboRite, and on the back it says manufactured by CarboLite). I have enjoyed the two bars I have had, although the flavor is not intense. They are sweetened with erythritol and inulin--but note that the chocolate truffle variety also contains some maltitol. One of the stores also had a new (to me, anyway) AdvantEdge Perfection bar, again sweetened with erythritol and inulin. (Be careful; I may have seen others elsewhere with maltitol in them--I'm not sure about that.) If my daughter in I are in the mood to take a ride tomorrow, I may go back up to the big 7-Eleven in either Methuen, Lawrence, or Andover.

I may not have noticed them when I was looking for Iced Botanicals--esp. since I had not heard of either of the others at that point. I probably hadn't heard of them before my expedition to Wal-Mart either. I would prefer not to buy at Wal-Mart though. SignatureJean B. > > I have been looking for the following things, with no luck: > > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > http://www.arizonabev.com/csr/ > (order online too) Thanks, Preesi. If I can't find them locally, I may resort to that. It's so much nicer to be able to just go to the stores and get stuff though. SignatureJean B. > Thanks, Preesi.

That's a good lead if I ever get down in that direction. SignatureJean B. Jean, I saw an ad for the Dannon low carb yogurt in today's flyer from Price Chopper. It's in VT but I think there are still some Price Choppers in your end of MA. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2.

Went to the Market Basket near there and saw nothing of particular interest but they did have a rather lengthy announcement about various Atkins items being on sale. Also, I will remind people who can consume aspartame that the Cranberry Fruit Refresher that Market Basket carries is excellent. Odd that this fake cranberry beverage tastes so much better than some other thing I tried recently. SignatureJean B. > > Jean, > > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > carries is excellent. Odd that this fake cranberry beverage > tastes so much better than some other thing I tried recently. Some of this stuff is just walking out of the stores as fast as they can stock it. I've had a craving for eggplant parmigian, so I was checking out the spaghetti sauce section of Shaws this afternoon, because people had been talking about the low carb Ragu sauce. Well, they didn't have any. However, they did have a large gap in the shelf where it had been, but it took me a while to notice that!

Hmmm. I don't think there were any holes at Stop & Shop, but there may well have been at Market Basket. I didn't get to Shaw's because the traffic was too heavy. Tomorrow I may get to one. In fact, there's a new one I want to check out. SignatureJean B. Alice, The lowest carb spaghetti sauce I've found is the Barilla Italian Baking Sauce. It is stocked by all the supermarkets, but you have to hunt for it because they put it in the baking sauce section, not the spaghetti sauce section. It is delicious and only has 5 grams of (naturally occuring) sugar per serving. I use it sparingly, because it is 10 grams per serving, but it really perks up eggplant or chicken. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2.

I ended up getting a can of Muir Glen crushed tomatoes (on special, and it seemed to have the least amount of additives) and making my own: one sauteed cut-up onion, 3 cloves crushed garlic, about 1 1/2 tsp mixed Italian herbs (a lagniappe from a Penzey's order), simmered for c. 1 hour (while I was preparing other ingredients). I think I'm going to end up with 6 servings from the tray of eggplant lasagna, which was *heavenly*, and will probably be better reheated. SignatureAF "Non Sequitur U has a really, really lousy debate team." --artyw raises the bar on rec.sport.baseball Alice, I don't think it is possible to get below a certain amount of naturally occuring sugar in a tomato sauce without eliminating the tomatoes. Given the real health benefits of tomatoes, I am willing to stretch things a bit to fit them into my diet. I'd rather eat real tomatoes with the associated carbs than frankenfood "low carb" tomato sauce with something that simulates the tomato flavor without the lycopene etc. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years.

If there's a Victory supermarket near you, they have the Ragu Light No Sugar Added Tomato & Basil, which is about the lowest carb spaghetti sauce I've seen, on sale this week for $1.50 (Not quite as good as last week's Stop & Shop sale for 99 cents, but still pretty good.) The one near me had lots of them on the shelves. It's not specifically labeled "Low Carb". from the Light No Sugar Added Tomato & Basil label: Serving size: 1/2 cup Calories: 50 Total fat: 1.5 g Total carb: 7 g Fiber: 2 g Sugars: 5 g Protein: 2 g (I saw a web site showing a label for the new Ragu that does have some mention of carbs in its name, in big blue letters -- probably costs a lot, but the net carbs were the same as this one, I think!) Also the one of the canned Hunt's versions has a similar carb count (8 total, 3 fiber, 5 net). I forget the exact name -- something like Classic Italian Garlic & Herb. Usually runs about 99 cents; sometimes on sale for 79. Em |
