Just the Cheese
Well, they've come out with two new flavors - Honey Dijon and Pizza! We have always been fans of this product, but now we're truly pleased! The Honey Dijon reminded me of those honey mustard pretzels I used to snack on back in the old days. As usual, these chips are VERY salty, so those with salt issues, beware. But because I'm a saltaholic, I was in heaven. They're only 1g of carbs per bag! Just the Cheese has also redesigned their baked cheese chip into a wheel shape. It tastes much better. We highly recommend Just the Cheese chips. They make seven different flavors in all: Honey Dijon, Pizza, Herb 'n Garlic, Sour Cream & Onion, White Cheddar, Jalapeno, and Nacho. You can purchase them at
Carbsmart, Low Carb Connoisseur,and Netrition.


Low Carb Kitchen Cinnamon Praline Pecans

Diet Rite Cola
is a fantastic soda alternative. Sweetened with Splenda, this soft drink contains no caffeine, no calories, no sugar, and no carbs !!! I was impressed with how fizzy it remains, and how much it tastes like Pepsi. It's available in many supermarkets around the country and is also available in Orange so you can pretend you're having Crush! A definate must-have for my refrigerator.

Pure Delite Truffles
A great treat when you have that chocolate craving. They vary in carb count depending on flavor, but most range around 1g. They don't taste at all like low-carb... no aftertaste, soft and creamy like a real truffle. They cost around 80 cents each (and are the size of your ordinary Russell Stover truffle candy.) Well worth the money when you're dying for a piece of authentic candy without the guilt. Available online at
Carbsmart, Low Carb Connoisseur, The Low Carb Dieters Page, and Netrition They also sell a box of 70 for those special occasions or addicts!

CarbSense Hot Cereal
For those of us who miss our Cream of Wheat or Oatmeal in the morning. Thanks to the makers, this high-fiber cereal is a terrific solution when you need a snack or a morning jumpstart! I whipped up a bowl of the Cinnamon Spice flavor in just 3 minutes and it was delicious! Since I like it the "Cream of Wheat" way, I added heavy cream and low-carb maple syrup to mine and it was absolutely delicious! CarbSense uses quality, all-natural ingredients (soy, oat, and wheat,) and none of the "hidden carb" stuff. At only 2g effective carbs per bowl! The texture is a mix between oatmeal and cream of wheat... A winner in my book! Available at SynergyDiet, CarbSmart, Low Carb Connoisseur, and Netrition. Additional flavors are also now available.

Better Bread
SynergyDietBetter Bakery has developed some exciting loaves! I tried the SourDough and it was out of this world! Each slice contains only 4.5g of effective carbohydrate, far less than it's high-carb predecessor. Whether you're looking for some toast with your breakfast, or to build a super sandwich, this item should be one of your low-carb staples. Available at SynergyDiet. Not suggested for induction. 

Better Chocolate Donuts.
They're just 2.7g effective carbs each, and surprisingly satisfying. With the same great chewy texture as an Entemann's boxed donut, and a delicious chocolate coating, these donuts will surely have you happy. They've got just enough chcolate to satsify a craving, and unlike most Splenda-sweetened desserts, they have no aftertaste! The response at work from my high-carb friends was one of surprise. Perhaps most of them expected cardboard? Everyone liked these. I think they're the greatest low-carb dessert item I've found yet. Available at SynergyDiet.
