Great low carb products

February 6 2008 day 118 - Low carb. almond milkImage by DeathByBokeh via Flickr
The South Carolina diet while tasty and lip smacking can be high in carbs and fat and not the healthiest in terms of weight loss. If you live in South Carolina and would like to try buying locally some low carb products, see: Low Carb Connoisseur.
Shop from the Biggest and Best Selection of Low Carb products and Bakery items from the Internet's Premier Low Carb Store! Friendly Staff available to answer your questions toll free 888-339-2477. A low carb lifestyle is a good idea for most people, even those not on a diet. Reducing the amount of sugars and carbs early in life will set up a healthier eating habit for the whole family. Here is a list of products that will help you cut the carbs without sacrificing the flavor.

Steviva Blend- this non sugar sweetener is natural and studies suggest it is a healthier alternative to other sweeteners on the market like Nutra Sweet and Splenda. This product contains stevia. Stevia has been approved by the FDA as a dietary supplement only. Replaces sugar 2 to 1. Low calorie, low carb, low gycemic, gluten free, no maltodextrin, and no gmos. Steviva Blend is ideal to bake and cook with. Steviva Blend has less than 1 calorie and less than 1 carbohydrate per serving making it safe for diabetics. May be used in hot or cold liquids, sprinkled on cereals and fruit, or in any way that you wish to use this revolutionary dietary supplement. If you can't find this in your local grocery store, see www.netrition.com for this product.

Almond flour- A natural flour that is un-blanched, gluten-free and very flavorful. Due to the fact that it's not de-fatted, this low-carb substitute is an excellent source of essential fatty acids that occur naturally in almonds. With Almond Flour, you can add color, texture, richness and flavor to your baked goods as well as everyday meals. Use to coat chicken, beef and fish for a delightful and low-glycemic departure from breadcrumbs and white flour. A great brand to try out is Now and it can be found at many grocery stores and online. See: Almond Flour here

Almond Milk- If you have never tried Almond Milk, I'd have to say you're missing out. When it comes to maintaining a healthy weight, every little calorie counts. Almond milk has a very special place in a lighter lifestyle. At just 60 calories for a serving of our Original flavor, and 90 for a glass of Vanilla, it's a calorie-smart choice that’s easy to love.
Smooth, refreshing and indescribably yummy,  almond milk can be used everywhere milk is used – from cereal to coffee to straight up in a glass – but with fewer calories than 1% milk.* And just like dairy milk, almond milk is an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D. All that, with the subtle, satisfying flavor of real, natural almonds. You can find Almond milk in your local grocery dairy section where regular and soy milk products are sold. A great brand is Silk Almond Milk and Almond Breeze.

Carb Counters Thick It Up Low Carb Thickener- One thing that many people on low carb diets hate is not being able to have many flour based gravies, and sauces. Carb counters thick it up can do this and be used in a wide variety of ways. Great for Soups, Gravies, Sauces, and Fruit Fillings.
Its all natural, with no artificial ingredients and no preservatives.

How to make perfect low carb iced tea

A glass of sweet teaImage via Wikipedia
South Carolinians will be cooking and planning our Easter dinner menus soon. With all the rich and decadent flavors that will be eaten, serving a nice healthy beverage is a good way to feel a little less guilty. This iced tea recipe calls for Splenda, however, you can substitute it for sugar, just reduce the amount by 1/2 cup.


Instructions

Things You'll Need:
* 10 iced tea bags, I like Red Rose but there are plenty of good ones
* 2 herbal fruity tea bags of your choice.
* Dutch Oven
* Ladle for straining
* 2 cups of Granulated Splenda sweetner
* large plastic or tempered glass pitcher. If you do not have a tempered glass pitcher, allow tea to thoroughly cool before adding.

Step 1
Take the 2 liter sized pitcher your tea is going into and fill it almost all the way up with cold water. I usually have mine filled to about 2 inches from the lid. The reason Im not giving you this measurement in cups is because I hate measuring. Once this is done, pour it into your dutch oven.

Step 2
Now take your tea bags and tie them all together and toss them into the pot. Put your stove top setting on high and bring to a boil. Once it is boiling vigorously, turn off the heat and let it steep for about 10 minutes. You basically want a good rich color.

Step 3
Remove your teabags, aren't you glad they were tied together? Add your sweetener or sugar. If using sugar, try the smallest suggested amount first, (1 1/2 cups), if it is not sweet enough you can always add more. stir until sugar/sweetener is fully dissolved.

Step 4
Take your pitcher, and add sliced oranges and lemons, yes I like both. The oranges give the tea a wonderful flavor along with the lemon and both work great. Its all about the fruity flavor of the tea that makes it have a tropical and yummy taste. Pour the tea carefully into your pitcher. If it is not quite full, add a little more water, and enjoy!

Low carb yourself thin

A box of Diet Rite.Image via Wikipedia

 






Start off with little changes. No diet is successful if you can't follow it. Just make small changes, drink more water, and sugared sodas are a no no, I have gotten used to Diet Rite soda, is has nothing in it, and you can get used to them rather quickly. Avoid sugar, there are substitutes out there, I like Splenda but there are many out there now.
