QVC is going to town with all kinds of wonderous LC food products
today.  Things like chicken parmesan, where the guy explains how they
came up with a special sauce so that an umbreaded chicken breast with
the sauce and cheese comes in at 5g carbs.  Funny, I have lots of jars
of off the shelf sauces that have 4g per half cup carb and that
parmesan looks to have just a fraction of that amount of sauce.  And
you can have the QVC chicken parmesan for about $13 a pound.  What a
deal.

Or a $40 cheese cake that is 4.7g net carb per slice.  Funny how they
fail to mention on TV that it contains 56g of carbs from sugar
alcohol, which is high even for LC products that use sugar alcohols.

I hope people have enough sense to take a closer look at what they are
getting and read the full nutritional info before they buy any of this
stuff.

But don't you know that Bob lost 40 pounds?  LMAO.

It has to be right if Bob says it is.

Yep, they are even selling meat as a low carb product:)

They are selling this stuff, that is the goal. Mentioning details is not a
good selling point.

Like I said, this sh*t sells so some dummies are buying it. Lots of folks
are sucked in because they don't check it out. Mom always said if it sounds
too good to be true....it is.
