The SavaCentre (Sainsbury's in Collier's Wood, SW London.) has all its Aktins products at half price for clearance. It is in the same section at the gluten free products and health bars etc.
They have a pretty good range actually.

Wonder at the variety: the food AND the prices. Can be pricey, but has a fantastic deli, kosher food, 38 varieties of olives, ready meals, fresh fish, a butcher's, salt-beef bar, and sushi bar. The wine shop is also good if so inclined. Who says LC is austere?



Also if you go to Selfridges and want lunch, try the Food Garden Cafe, it is superb. Fresh salads, soups, steaks, with veggies, berries and cream. I have eaten very well their whilst doing Atkins, with a started tuna salad and steak with broccoli. But it is next to the Haagen Daz cafe, but it is not in you face.
I also love Neal's Yard, a really nice list.

My favourite Low Carb products are:

Covent Garden Chicken Soup

Good French Creme Fraiche - (and alternative to cream but 0.8 carbs but desert spoon and great with berries, if you do not like real cream.)

Mixed leaves salad bags (such a brilliant invention.)

Some of the Tesco Finest ready meals.

Sainsbury's- deli Chicken Tikka Masla or other meat curries, spinich brajis etc.

M&S: Mini pork sausages for 99p, great for a lunch on the run.

M&S: Selection of cold meats with their two for £4 pound deal.

M&S party selection: Salmon and cream cheese roll ups, Chicken Tikka bits and cheese and bacon wraps.

Also; Bousin cheese, now spreadable.


Waitrose:

Boxes of froxen cod fillets

Markeral Pate

Organic Meatballs. (Also Ikea now sell bumper packs of Swedish meatballs and the gravy they use. Great with crisp lettuce, sliced peppers, red onion and little Mayo.)

Duchy Bacon (Expensive but organic for Prince Charles' Farm.)

Pepperami's good for a snack while on the move etc.

Thanks for that info, I will use it, I live on the District Line.

Tesco are selling off LC rolos at 20p per roll - I picked some up last week in Northampton in the sandwich counter.

Wonder if this means they're on their way out?

Probarbly, the press has been savage on LC dieting. Low GI is now in vogue.
Also LC Rolos are pricy normal too, as are the KitKats esp for just two fingers per bar.
Going to have to us the home delivery LC companies soon for low carb products.

I still haven't found LC tortlla wraps in the UK. I see advertised that atkins do one at 3 carbs per wrap.
Anyone seen them?

Tesco sell low carb tortillas in the bread aisle with the rest of the tortillas.
They are 9 carbs each which is quite high if you have a lot to lose and you fancy a couple of them. but are much lower than regular tortillas which have about 26 carbs

Thanks, Nicnoc.
9 carbs is still a bit high for me, but maybe some day.

You can get Tortilla Wraps online. 10 wraps are £2.75 and have 3 carbs each. I don't know if I'm allowed to post links so PM if you want the link!

Hiya!

I wasn't sure if I could post a link!! There are lots of low carb places online. My favourite is www.lowcarbmegastore.com

I've been using them for a few years and am happy with them

Thanks, Pany.
I see p+p is £4.95, so tell me what else you recommend, please?
(I'm on 45 carbs a day.)

P+P is high so I usually place a large order.

What are you interested in?? After nearly 4 years on Atkins, I've tried almost everything!

Hey! I didn't really want to be a nuisance and create a whole new thread for this question, but I wondered if the whipped cream I recently bought is okay to have on induction.

Being lazy, I went for the canned alternative of Anchor Light in Waitrose. The nutrition per 100ml is 45 calories and 1.8g of carbs.

I've only used this once as I treated myself to my first SF jelly today (which was delish!). I wasn't sure as to how accurate 100ml was, so I just squirted a top layer across the whole of my breakfast cereal sized bowl. But I'm thinking this may have been over 100ml?

Anyway, should I switch to whipping my own cream or is what I'm eating acceptable? Thanks in advance.
