Product and Low Carb Site Reviews

[Guest guest]

I have recently ordered from 3 different web sites and thought I would

let you all know what I thought of the web sites, and the food

Netrition.com - selection was ok (could be better), prices were really

good, service was great. Ordered on Friday and received on Tuesday.

ordered: Darrell Lea Strawberry chews - my husband says they are

very good

Darrell Lea Carmel chew - my husband says they are

very good

De-lite Milk Chocolate Bar - Very good, I think,

better then Darrel Lea - does anyone know if

it has the same bathroom effect

as Darrel Lea?

Zerocarb.com - great selection, average prices, shipping was good.

Ordered on Tuesday received on Saturday

ordered: Mountain Bread (Oat) - very good, I like to do taco's

with them. Have to watch carb count

Jokin Al Ketchup - very good a must have for meat

loaf

Jokin Al Grape Jelly - I haven't tried it, but the

kids like it

Better Bagels (plain) - I like them, but have to

watch carb count

Optimum Nutrition Shake Strawberry - YUCK, it

tasted like medicine

Optimum Nutrition Shake Chocolate - A little better

(would not buy again), kind of reminded me

of Slim Fast.

Optimum Nutrition Shake Vanilla - Haven't wanted to

try it.

I made the shakes by the directions on the package, is there a different

way that they taste better?

Lowcarbtreats.com - great selection, average prices, shipping was slow

-not the norm from when I used to order

from them. Ordered on Wednesday 5/9 and was just emailed that it shipped

out 5-14 and should be here in 2-5 days.

ordered: Darrell Lea Milk Chocolate Bars - (they offered buy

one get one free, can't pass that up) I have had

them before but I find I like the De-lite ones better.

Darrell Lea Strawberry chews - see netrition

order above

Darrell Lea Carmel chews - see netrition order

above.

Over all I like Netrition.com the best except the selection could be a

little better, maybe I should e-mail them.

Finally has anyone tried the Carbolite Chocolate Cheesecake mix? I

ordered it from netrition to make for my husbands birthday.

I benefit more than anyone from my choices.

Hiya ...

Thanks for the info on the different sites. I agree about netrition - fast

but limited selection (and sometimes their prices aren't as low as some of

the other sites).

Sorry you didn't like the Optimum Nutrition shakes. Were they the 100%

egg/whey protein or the Complete Protein Diet shakes? The Complete Protein

Diet shakes are BY FAR my absolute favorite shakes that I have ever tried

(and I swear I've tried darn near every different kind out there! LoL). In

fact, I just finished drinking my strawberry shake for breakfast. In making

them I crush up 4 ice cubes in the blender then add about 12-15 oz of water

(and blend the two together for about 10 seconds just so the crushed ice

doesn't stick to the sides of the blender) and then add the 2 scoops (or 1

packet) of powder and blend it all together on either the WHIP or the PUREE

setting for about 2 min or so. I used to add 2tbsp of heavy cream before

blending on whip/puree so you might want to try that, just be sure to count

the carbs. You can also add some sugar-free syrups (maybe try strawberry

syrup in your strawberry shake???) and see if that helps to make them more

palatable for you.

>>Did you buy the individual packets to try? I hope you aren't stuck

with a

>>large quantity since you don't like them :-(

Yes, I bought the individual packets. I don't buy anything low carb in

huge quality unless I already know I like it. I only try things that

come in single servings, or smaller packs that aren't too expensive.

I benefit more than anyone from my choices.
