Low Carb Snacks
Since low carb diets have exploded into the mainstream, snack food manufactures have released a huge number of low carb snacks in recent years. However before filling your shopping cart to the top with these items it pays to be a little cautious. Just seeing that these snacks state 'low carb' on the packaging, does not necessarily mean they are healthy.
The following are a few points to keep in mind when next shopping for low carb snacks.
Low Carb Snack Bars
There are many varieties of low carb snack bars available in health food shops today. However not all of these bars provide much in terms of 'good nutrition'. In general most low carb snack bars are better used during the maintenance periods of low carb diets. This is as the bars can often contain a large number of calories.
Low Carb Shakes
If you are like me, you may prefer low carb shakes (or weight loss shakes) as a substitute to the meal replacement bars. It is important when taking shakes to read the nutritional information on the labels to get an idea of the content. If you are going into low carb shakes, you ideally need to make sure that the shakes are low on the GI (glycemic index) also.
Bread
One of the most common complaints of those on the low carb diet is removing bread from your mealtimes. There are some low carb breads available however that have added soy flour to their dough. (These breads are not always wheat free or gluten free however.)
