Low Carb Fries

What about those low carb fries they had all over the news in August developed by Randy Blaun. Where are they? Does anyone know when those are supposed to come into the stores? Wouldn't those taste great with some of that low carb ketchup?

This is all bad bad stuff . Low-carb versions of high carb products often rely heavily on sugar-alcohols or other psuedo-carb fillers. For developing good habits and maintaining long term weight loss this stuff is pure poison.

Oh yeah! I miss my ketchup!!!!! i'll have to look for it! Thanks for the "rant". In the end.. we now know it's out there!

NulloModo,

accourding to the label, there ARE no sugar alcohols....just 1g of sugar per Tbsp (no fiber or sugar alcohols.....nothing to deduct)

it's not so hard to believe when you consider the "regular" version only has 4g per Tbsp

they also managed to reduce the sodium by 75% without sacrificing taste and/or thickness, though the color is a tad brighter

as for low carb french fries? doubtful that they are actually "low carb" but probably lowER carb

I remember all the hype Tropicana made about low carb orange juice.........until they released it (i think it has something like 17g)

i can live without potatos but a double bacon cheeseburger just isn't the same without ketchup and a bun (i use Atkins Bagels....they're like kaiser rolls)[/u]

Hehe, I guess I'm just biased, I've always found ketchup in general distasteful. Much more of a mayo and mustard on a burger guy.

I read your post too late!!! I went into GNC tonight to buy my urine strips, and out of desperation purchased Atkins ketchup (for 3.99 - GASP!). Then, I went to Wal-Mart and saw the Heinz for 1.99. I thought to myself that the Atkins would have to be better. After reading your post, I am not even going to open the 3.99 ketchup and return it to GNC. I will pickup Heinz tomorrow. I miss ketchup.....

Well, the Atkins ketchup is much better... but that is mainly because it doesn't taste a whole lot like ketchip .

Atkins ketchup is a little spicy. Nothing like Heinz, but good if you're looking for a mildly spicy tomato flavor.
