I have found that If I don't ask for what I want then I don't get what I am asking for. Now that is a no brainer Huh? Well, with that said I read countless questions as to where to find this low carb product and that.
I went to one of my co-workers who heads up the diabetic disease management program at work. She knows I am following Atkins and is following my progress with much encouragement. Knowing my frustration at finding "specialty low carb foods" Her words were "watch for the low carb stores and resturaunts to start taking off." The food industry is aware of the number of Diabetics and Carb sensitve people out here in the real world and we will see more specialty stores in the near future. That said, I have started asking my local grocery stores to look into providing more low carb products. And one said yes we have heard you (people) and have orderd Atkins bake mix, bread mixes etc. They were on the shelf within 2 weeks!
I just wanted to make a suggestion that If we want to be heard we have to speak up. If all of us ask for the foods we want /need we will get them. Strength is in numbers and in $$$$. Jules
