Hi, does anyone know of a website for decently priced items?? I wanna browse around for some of this stuff - flour, mixes, bars etc... I find that the Atkins stuff at stores in outrageous! Any tips on what to buy and where would be appreciated.

I don't know where to start with the cooking creativeness!!



Thanks!!

A good start might be netrition.com . They have a few banner ads here on the forums (might be one at the top of the screen now.)

From what I see they have a ton of LC products including the Atkins, but also a lot more. As for pricing, I'm not sure how they compare.

Hmmm. my message double posted, and it won't let me delete the duplicate.

Thanks, I'll check that out!

E-bay has quite a few Atkins & other low carb products at decent prices. Search for Atkins, then go to health & beauty. I also use the lowcarb warehouse through Yahoo, & they have decent prices too.

Another great site for goodies is "carbsmart". You have got to try Gram's Gourmet pork rinds!!! To die for!!!

Thanks everyone! Didn't think of Ebay! Sorry, I cannot stand the idea of pork rinds, they gross me out !! LOL!!

Someone beat me to it, but I have to say I've looked around quite a bit on the Internet and I think Netrition has some good prices. At least compared to my local health food store. I have ordered CarboLite candy from them in the past, and it is delicious! (but definitely only a once in a while thing... )

Good luck - let us know if you find anything good!

My advice: Go to the supermarket and buy natural foods; poultry, meat, fish, vegetables, olive oil, cheese, butter, cream. Eat those things cooked simply, with herbs and spices to maximize their flavors. Leave the articifial junk alone, except for perhaps some Thicken/No Starch, to make sauces with. Soy flour works too. You can spend a great deal of money on processed foods of all types and just be wasting carbs and calories. Count your carbs carefully and enjoy each meal.

Good Luck!

I agree in principle that it would be best if I stayed close to unprocessed foods altogether. However, since I'm pretty new, I seem to need to prove to myself that there is a low-carb version of just about anything I could crave, so I have been trying a wide variety of products.
Judy's sugar free (maltitol) nut brittles are exceptional. Greenbeanz online has pretty decent prices on the 10-oz. packages of Judy's coconut deluxe nut brittle and mixed nut brittle. Both kinds are out of this world. It's good to keep my consumption to a minimum, though, because it's easy for me to get more maltitol than my gut thinks is good.
Ditto on the Gram's Gourmet sweet cinnamon butter pork rinds. I was always grossed out at the thought of pork rinds but Gram's turned me around. You can also make them at home with plain pork rinds, cinnamon, Splenda & butter---yum.

Try Vitaglo.com too. They have the best prices on Atkins supplements, but I don't know about the other stuff.

Gram's Gourmet has wonderful Grtanola also :-)

Lowcarboutlet is another place to explore
