Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / October 2004Buying low carb foods online??
Has anyone successfully tried any of the low carb foods that are sold online? I live in a small town, and can't find very many products locally. One place that caught my eye was www.nosugardaddy.com .. has anyone tried this place, or can recommend another online vendor to look into? Thanks >Has anyone successfully tried any of the low carb foods that are sold >online? I live in a small town, and can't find very many products >locally.

Most of it is pretty scary stuff loaded with sucralos and soy flower. If you must have bread go with sprouted whole grain/multi grain breads wich are fairly low in carbs and much more healthy than nasty low carb soy flower breads. > > > Has anyone successfully tried any of the low carb foods that are sold > > > online?

I'm type 2, and while I typically use whole grain breads as my carb source in each meal, it's killing me to not be able to put jam on my bread or dressing on my salad. Most of the products on that nosugardaddy.com website use sugar alcohols like maltitol, sorbitol, mannitol, as sweeteners.. are those as bad as sucralose? I know sucralose is a chlorinated carb, but I don't think the sugar alcohols are. > I'm type 2, and while I typically use whole grain breads as my carb > source in each meal, it's killing me to not be able to put jam on my > bread or dressing on my salad. Why no dressing on your salad? There are plenty of very LC salad dressing options. > Most of the products on that > nosugardaddy.com website use sugar alcohols like maltitol, sorbitol, > mannitol, as sweeteners.. are those as bad as sucralose? I know > sucralose is a chlorinated carb, but I don't think the sugar alcohols > are. What's wrong with sucralose in your view? I don't care for the taste, which is why I don't use much of it. I am using less and less of the sugar alcohols because of frequent GI response to them. I like Smuckers reduced sugar jam myself.

I think that's an acquired thing. When I was first diagnosed and ate candy and stuff with the sugar alcohols in it, I didn't have a problem at all.

Sugar alcohols = laxative. If you like dashing to the bathroom, passing gas, having stomach pains, etc., go for it! Personally, I try to avoid that junk.

Maltitol and those sweeteners give me (and other people) diarrhea, which is a good reason to be very careful what you try and when! <snip> > I'm type 2, and while I typically use whole grain breads as my carb > source in each meal, it's killing me to not be able to put jam on my > bread or dressing on my salad. It's been ages since I've had a jam or jelly on my bread. I butter up my toast and put splenda and cinnamon on it and stick it in the microwave for 20 seconds. YUMMY Oil and vinegar for the salad? Stay away from low-fat salad dressings. They have a bunch of sugar added to compensate for the lower taste from the lower fat. Sherry Sugar alcohols are carbs. The most polite thing I can say about the statement "sugar alcohols have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels"-- which you see on a lot of "low net carb" foods--is that it's a gross oversimplification. Different people react differently to sugar alcohols. I almost never have GI problems, but I've never had a problem with glucophage either (usually things that make my system more active are a good thing for me). One the other hand, I have to count the sugar alcohols as plain ordinary carbs. It also depends on which sugar alcohol. Maltitol seems to be the most like regular carbs in terms of raising blood glucose for most people. Other types don't affect BG as much. Ben & Jerry's Carb Karma ice cream has a bunch of sugar alcohols that don't raise my BG much. On the other hand, the one time I ate WAY too much of it, my insides gurgled all night. BG was absolutely flat. It appears that sugar alcohols tend to either: (1) raise your BG, or (2) create GI problems (or some mix of the two). >>>>Has anyone successfully tried any of the low carb foods that are sold >>>>online?

The best online low carb buy I have found is at http://www.worldfoodsco.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=39 They are a bit expensive compared to the low carb tortillas sold at Publix, but they are huge, taste like "normal" flour tortillas, and my family (picky and hate "fibery" foods) loves them. Also, if you buy a case, they freeze really well and help keep shipping costs down. Good luck!

More likely than not, they are fraudulent tortillas. i > More likely than not, they are fraudulent tortillas. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Good name for a band.

But, as I am as completely ignorant of the expertise available on "carb friends" as you are of that available on usenet, I'll call it quits. Cheers, Alan, T2 d&e, Australia.
