LOW CARB PRODUCTS

What are the choices for naturally Low carb foods? Foods that are naturally low in carbohydrates include fish, poultry, meat, eggs, cheeses, and certain varieties of nuts.

There are also manufactured low carb foods which mimic traditionally high carb products in the market. For these low carb foods, starchy and/or sugary ingredients are usually replaced by alternative ingredients such as oat fiber, soy flour, resistant starch, polydextrose and alternative sweeteners so that the resulting product has minimal impact on blood sugar levels. These low carb foods are an integral part of a low carb diet because they add variety to the foods that are allowed. Eating a wide variety of low carb foods and low carb snacks is important to keeping your diet interesting. With more variety, you also benefit from better nutrition and the diet is easier to stick to. This ultimately helps you stay on track to lose weight and keep it off.

Foods such as breads, starchy vegetables and fruits have high carbohydrate content but contain essential vitamins and minerals that are highly recommended by doctors. To ensure healthy weight loss, low carb diets such as Atkins and South Beach Diet recommend that you eat these foods in small quantities and take vitamin supplements to ensure proper nutrition.

Most of us are used to having lots of convenience foods and snacks (such as breakfast cereals, toast, candy bars and crackers) as part of a “regular diet” because they are abundantly available. For people who are always on the go, it can be difficult to stick to a low carb diet that contains only naturally low carb foods (fish, poultry, meats, eggs, cheeses, and nuts) because these foods usually require longer preparation time and special handling. Pre-packaged low carb products and snacks make low carb diet easier.

While low carb snacks and products are readily available in the United States , they are not as common in Canada . The market in Canada is a fraction of that in the US which makes the investment to bringing products here a high risk venture for US manufacturers. Even when these low carb products are available in your local grocery, they are usually hard to identify, not well stocked, have limited variety, and are often difficult to find against a backdrop of thousands of “regular” products that surround them.
