I'm in Ohio and was at Wal-Mart this morning. I definitely noticed their
normal "low-carb" display was much smaller, moved out of the center isle to
a smaller out-of-the-way area, and seemed to be limited to high-carb/high
sugar alcohol items, which I won't buy anyway. Hope they keep their Diet
Rite sodas - they're so much cheaper at Wal-Mart than Krogers. There's
nothing else "low-carb" I will miss from there -- so maybe a high percentage
of low-carbers smartened up about those candy bars and stopped buying
them?!?

The Hoods milk is still at the WMart in my part of Kentucky .
That's the main LC item I buy .
Thanks for the update .

I think this may because the real low carbers realize that much of what
dealers are selling as low-carb is overpriced and that much better low
carb products are available through careful shopping for normal
foods at the supermarket.

Whether or not this is the case, meat and produce will likely never go
out of style.

People seem to forget that anyway.  To me, that is the biggest perk of
LC is that there is simply no need or place for fake foods in the diet.  
I've tried many diets where in order to stick to it you have to have a
shake or a bar and some other expensive gimmick, and it makes me wanna
barf.  The human body isn't designed to have some fake food concocted in
some anonymous lab, with 5 syllable ingredients a mile long.

With this diet, all I need to have handy is a supermarket.  Works for
me.... YMMV

I never shopped that aisle anyway. The Piggy Puffs, Nuts, and Soda Water are
always kept somewhere else. If they had any real food in the lo-carb
section, I would buy it, but it's all bars, powders, and shakes.

I was in Wal-Mart today looking for the Atkins Almond Crunch Cereal. It was
$3.99 here and the rest of the grocery stores had it for $4.99.  I was told
that I missed the clearance ($2.00 a box) and they were discontinuing the
Atkins Cereal products.  The supply of Hood milk was way down too, and had
been moved to a location usually for clearance

It seems that they treat diets as a seasonal item. I joked with the stock
gal that I did like the low carb products, but if your a serious dieter, you
eat less! 1 box of cereal goes a long way!  The only Grocery managers
smiling these days are in the produce,dairy and meat department.

I ended up in my local high priced health food store- She had what I wanted
on sale, and lots of other breakfast cereal options if I wanted to pay the
price. I still horde groceries like a squirrel in September. That, I don't
think will change.

Really?  I just heard they are getting a new line of bake mixes.
It does occur to me that as the stuff becomes available in other
stores, folks don't have to go to Wal-Mart to get it.

Must be regional.. Lowcarb is flying off the shelves at Walmart here.. and each
time I go in there, there are more items.
As always YMMV and this is JMO

Veggies, meat, cheese and eggs at 50-75% off?  WOW!  I'm on the way!

Oh, too bad.  Junk food doesn't stop being junk food just because
someone slaps a low-carb claim on its label.  Doesn't even matter
if the claim is true or false, junk is still junk.  No lose then!

Hola,

I would not say that low carbing is ending, nor that is a
fad.  What I consider a fad are those funky new products
that were "low-carb".  Low carbers have existed for a long
time... what did they do in those times? Order a whopper and
throw the bun, make food home-made with natural food.

I know there are people with limited time to cook and these
products were a heaven for them.  Other then had the "low
fat" mentality. Remember? "It's low fat so I can eat the
whole thing"...  Some of these products were good when time
was limited to cook a meal, but were they healthy? or
processed food as well?

Just my thought...
