I agree with this.

Atkins pastas....... Unflavored cardboard! No matter how long you cook it, it is still hard and chewy.

I bought the Pesto one and thought I would die after eating 2 bites. I let it sit while I made something else and it just sucked up all of the sauce. I want to try Dreamfield's but I'm scared.

Thumbs up Don't be afraid of Dreamfield's...

I agree... Atkins pasta tastes (and looks) like rubber bands. Dreamfields is like regular pasta in taste, texture and appearance, nothing to worry about there.

Thumbs up Pria Bars

I love Pria Bars, I am a peanut butter and chocolate freak. I try to limit them to 1-3 times per week. I work at Curves and eating "real lc food" is hard. I just nibble on one of these and use them as a snack or bridge to my next meal. Thank you to everyone and the info on all the LC foods. I am new to this whole thing and am trying desperately to grasp the LC lifestyle.

If you cook Atkins pasta past hard and chewy, it morphs into spongy and gritty...bad all the way round!

other yucks..

Cabana Ice beverages, clean me out violently (The turbo lax scene in dumb and dumber comes to mind, only more painfuly!)

Most things from Keto, you'd probably get better taste by eating it with the wrapper on!!!

No fan of almost any LC candy with peanut butter in it, except the Carborite peanut butter cup tastes good, but I think it has trans fats...

Most of the Low Carb salad dressings, blech! I just look for all natural ones that are really low in carbs, and have no sugars or TF's...

Walden farms is oh so good, EXCEPT the chocolate sauce, the veggie dips and the fruit spreads....tasteless goo, the lot of it.

Several of the Low Carb breads (pre sliced stuff), too high in carbs (8 grams a slice??) and some have TF's. (I love the Natural Ovens Carb Control, and 3 grams a slice!)

Most every Low Carb snack or meal replacement bar, especiall those with peanut butter! (I do like Atkins choc decadence and cookies and cream. Both high in fiber and an aquired taste)

Most every low carb snack chip out there! There is one called (NOT JOKING) Girlfriends Booty that is good and Hains Carb Fit Nacho chees twirls are okay.

No good luck with most packages of Low Carb bread and muffin mixes. I have some that I could use for boat anchors, and some I swear walked away under their own power!

I also have to watch SA's. It seems that Sorbitol wants to kill me. I had some Sugar Free Log Cabin syrup on my LC French toast today, and it is trying to eat me alive, extreme gastric Distress I read in someones post here. Well, that would be good compared to what I'm going through! And I only had about 2 teaspoon fulls on mt french toast! Can you imagine if I used the 1/4 cup the label said was one serving???

I've also tried and thrown away, KETO oatmeals, Cheeters crackers/flatbreads, Walden Farms salad dressings, and all LC SlimFast products.
