You know, I'm actually glad that we're a bit behind the times in Europe when it comes to dieting. On the other hand, it's terrible how Americans end up being guinea pigs for all sorts of new theories and products. At least by the time low carb convenience food, net carbs and whatnot hit Europe, there's likely to be some proper research on it from America. It's a good thing there are fora such as this where this information overload can be discussed and sorted.
