I'm annoyed!
I went to see my mum and dad at the weekend, and bless them they thought they were being so thoughtful. They had bought be a back of "Heinz Carb Wise" biscuits / cookies.
Mum was very anti my atkins woe a couple of years back, but I have finally won her over.
Anyway, before I ate a cookie, I checked the nutritional values, and for each biscuit it was 8.4 grams of carbs. I compared them with a standard biscuit that she had elswhere in the house, and the standard one was 8.7 grams of carbs per biscuit.
My mum, without realising it, had fallen for the biggest marketing con in the world! Saying its "carb wise", yet it was only ever so sligfhtly lower. I think its disgusting that these bigger companies are pulling the wool over peopls eyes like this. Ok, so people like me, who know what to look for and have been eating this way for sometime realise and are wary. But what about those poor souls that have only just started out. Absolutely disgusting!!!!!!!
Rant over.
