Well I have just come home with a copy of Low Carb Energy Magazine which I bought (finally) from Smiths. I looked in Waitrose with no luck, but Smiths has such a huge range of magazines, I think I would have been surprised not to see it there. There were plenty there - on a higher shelf at eye level and very easy to spot.
The Magazine costs £2.50 but has approx 115 pages - all glossy and full colour. There is plenty to read - so much that I hardly no where to begin! As its the first proper newsstand magazine I have ever seen to address the low carb lifestyle, my initial reaction is to devour it greedily rather like I would have eaten a Mars Bar in the olden days! But I must remember to make time to do other things this weekend! ;-)
It's published in the UK, based in Essex, although I think that many of the contributors are American. Flicking through it, I see the recipes and advice have all been tailored to UK values - changing cups to grams etc, although I do notice a few little glitches - like telling us not to use fresh, not canned pumpkin in a recipe! Has anybody ever seen canned pumpkin for sale in England?!? Also canned beef broth ... that may be available here, but I think most of us would use an oxo cube.
There is so much in it, that it's too much to mention here. So if you're curiosity is piqued, I'd recommend you go out and buy a copy, if only for the frisson of buying a mainstream glossy magazine which treats low carb as an acceptable lifestyle!
