Are there any low carb food selections locally? TIA

Rib eye, wiskey 0 carbs
Perhaps I'm confused about your inquiry, but every grocery store in town sells meat and vegetables. Is there something particular you're looking for?BMo said:
Thanks very much for all the input and I found the thread on keto. I actually meant like stores that sell keto items. I will make note of the posts since I don't eat out much. The low carb requirement is due to Type 2 diabetes.
You don't need special "keto" items. Just eat real food.Quote:

As long as you dont overdo it you can enjoy the many " black" breads available. A great dark rye or a deli swirl has no sugar and only 12-15 grams of " good " carbs. There is also a number of no sugar wheat breads that are excellent. Its the bleached flour stuff that is to be avoided. Even occasional brown fried rice dishes are ok.76Ag said:
I eat low carb every day. Look in the freezer section in the grocery store for "Real Good Foods" brand. they sell low cab pizzas and enchiladas. Must Be Heaven had a Keto quiche the other day that was pretty good. I just stick to meat and non-starchy vegetables. No bread, no rice and no potatoes.
Thanks, this is the kind of info I was looking for. Diabetic since 2011 so have been watching carbs for a while now. Going all in on keto.Justin2010 said:
Wal-Mart actually has a section in its frozen foods with some keto bread items. Very pricey though.
Heb has the best brandof low carb tortillas. They also have great prices on jalapeno poppers.
Atkins bars for dessert, or halo top ice cream. Avoid low carb desserts made with maltitol, as it spikes blood sugar.
Keto here since May '17 and down 60 pounds.
Thanks for this. No bread, rice or potatoes here in many years.76Ag said:

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I'm at a point that bread is not in the cards and part of the reason for going full on keto. I make frittatas at home that are great. I use to buy the pre-made ones but learned that they are very easy to make.The Original AG 76 said:As long as you dont overdo it you can enjoy the many " black" breads available.

BTW....be sure and try out some of the " new" breadless frozen breakfast thingies you can find in the frozen breakfast box. There are frittatas that look and act like muffins that are great. Also some breakfaxt sammichs just came ou tmade from egg based bread like things. I add some good hot sauce, cheese perhaps an extra sausage patty and microzap them. After a few minutes of zap I put em in my Air Fryer ( best and most used item in my kitchen) to crisp up the egg fake bread and top off with some picante......GREAT hearty and varied breakfast. Only about 6 gms of sugar ( meaningless) some good carbs and lots of flavor.
Congrats on the great A1C. Been eating this way for the past several weeks with a little cheating of sugar free stuff and my readings have greatly improved.76Ag said:
I take only one metformin pill a day and my A1C from 8/10/18 was 5.6. I never go outside the lines because I don't want to take more medicine.
I miss those things too. Definitely have to check the labels. Wife and I have gone keto except for a few items that I'll eat because I refuse to throw away good food but they are almost gone. My glucose readings have trended down in an exceptional manner for the past 10 days so I'm happy. Walk 45 minutes, 6 days a week also.76Ag said:
The only things that tempt me are fried chicken, pecan pie, pecan pancakes and ice cream. It's been a long time since I've had any of those. I go by carb count and not calories and "sugar-free" foods usually have substantial carb counts.
