Ok, so I know I have talked about Almond milk on here before as being a great substitute for milk with a lower carb count. But I found something even better.


The new Almond Breeze Coconut Almond milk is a great option for carb counters and has a really tasty flavor to it with light hints of coconut in it. I drink this in the mornings with breakfast, and sometimes in the evening I will add a little bit of sugar free chocolate syrup for a real tasty treat. Because of the coconut flavor in the milk it tastes just like an almond joy drink. Anyway, I found this at Walmart. If you like coconut give this a try. I feel way less guilty about this stuff then a glass of milk.

Well, it's now been a couple weeks since I was back on the wagon of a low carb life and things are already starting to change. After my last weigh in a few days ago I was down about 10 pounds, which is great considering what I had put back on.

I definitely notice that I don’t lose the weight as fast as I use to, but I think that’s ok. It's probably more important to me that I regain my lifestyle choices and eating habits. I am not doing this just to shed some pounds, but to get back into a healthy lifestyle for myself.

I am still constantly looking for new things that are low carb. More than anything, snacks. Thinks that I can eat at night when relaxing and not have the guilt about. That’s not easy. Most of the time its cheese or nuts. The problem I have with nuts is that I can very easily eat too much without paying attention to the amount.

I love BBQ Sauce. It's a great way to take your meal to a new place if you need flavor. Problem is a lot of them have extra sugars in them that can cause your carb count to sneak up on you. That's why I was so excited to try this little gem my wife found in our local Target.

Ken Davis Classic 2 Carb BBQ Sauce is just that, a BBQ sauce that promises to keep the sugars and carbs low. It still gives the smoky taste you like with BBQ but the sweetness is not as much. One thing that is cool is if you look on the ingredient list of most sauces one of the first things you usually see is High Fructose Corn Syrup. That's not here at all. This is done a lot more the old fashion way with spices and tomato paste. And while they could have put in sugar alcohols to sweeten it up more, they choose to give more of a smoky sauce with less sweet that is still more natural that others which I think is fine.

Overall it's not an amazing BBQ. The flavor is decent, but does lack that sweetness you might expect. Its good for what it is. Personally if you are someone who really watches every carb and wants to be sure you don't let those hidden carbs sneak into your meal then this is a good choice for you. I sometimes let myself have a little more freedom in the condiment category. If it will help something I am eating have flavor then I usually will excuse it, I just wont use as much.

What do you use for a BBQ sauce? have a recipe of your own you want to share? Let us know.

I received a pretty awesome cookbook in the mail. Its the Primal Low Carb Cookbook by a fellow Low Carb Blogger out there. While I haven't yet tried recipes from it, a lot of them look really tasty and not too difficult to make. I will hopefully give a couple of these a try soon so I can give you a legit review in days to come.

Did they stop making these?!!!! I can't find them anywhere and its killing me. I loved these guys. My Walmart has gotten rid of almost all the Atkins stuff I liked. Ugh!!! Come back to me my sweet!
