Taste Testing Low Carb Products in a "Blink"

I just finished the book, Blink, by Malcolm Gladwell and it really is thought-provoking. It explains why many snap judgements made by people are actually quite educated and "right on", with some notable exceptions in regards to discrimination and when fear shuts down your body so much it kind of goes into an autistic state. (Actually, it is a good complement to the book, The Gift of Fear, for those of you who have read that.)

However, I am talking about it here because there is a section on the classic Coke versus new Coke debacle and explains how and why it came about. I think there are some lessons for us low carbers.

Pepsi was legitimately beating Coke in blind taste tests. In that "blink" of experiencing both colas, Pepsi came out on top. Coke panicked and created a product that would beat Pepsi in a blind taste test. It was new Coke. The author interviews Carol Dollard, who worked for Pepsi. She says:

I've seen many times when the CLT (Central Location Test where testers take one sip of each product) will give you one result and the home-use test will give you the exact opposite. For example, in a CLT, consumers might taste three or four different products in a row, taking a sip or a couple sips of each. A sip is very different from sitting and drinking a whole beverage on your own. Sometimes a sip tastes good and a whole bottle doesn't. That's why home-use tests give you the best information. The user isn't in an artificial setting.

She goes on to say:

Pepsi, in short, is a drink built to shine in a sip test. Does this mean that the Pepsi Challenge was a fraud? Not at all. It just means that we have two different reactions to colas. We have on reaction after taking a sip, and we have another reaction after drinking a whole can. In order to make sense of people's cola judgements, we need to first decide which of those two reactions most interest us.

Most of us who are old enough know how this story ends. New Coke was a disaster. Classic Coke came back and stayed back.

Now, let's bring this back to low carb products. There are very few low carb products that I consistently buy. I tried a lot of them, but most of them didn't pass the "whole bottle" or "whole bag" taste test. There are others that I have since learned just don't make sense with what I am trying to accomplish with my eating, lose and maintain weight loss without any unpleasant side effects, so out goes maltitol-based products. And some are just too darned expensive to buy on a consistent basis.

A "tipping point" has been reached where the prevailing wisdom that all carbs are good is no longer unchallenged. Unfortunately, for many low carb manufacturers, they didn't pass the "whole can or whole bag" test. This isn't a bad thing for low carbers in the long run. Rather than keeping many of these products on the market, they are destroyed, leaving those resources open for something new. Or, if the demand is great enough, they may come back under another manufacturer's name whose goals are more in tune with low carbers.

In other words, now is not the time to think that low carb is dead. It isn't. It works for too many people. Many product mistakes were made, but the more mistakes you make, the quicker you can recover...

And don't forget to read my low carb discontinued product watch for the latest updates!

Sugar in beer?

While American beer companies and distilled liquor companies strive to reduce calories, carbs, and sugar, in some brand name products, Germans now have to contend with relaxing the beer purity laws so products made with grain, hops and water can also be called beer even though they contain added sugar. I think it is fine as long as it is disclosed on the nutritional label, which isn't the case with American alcohol, even though the prohibition of disclosing nutritional information is gone, few companies do so.

Of course, as we all know, alcohol sharpens brain power in moderate amounts. For those of you who missed it before, here is more on low carb and alcohol.

Weight Loss Surgery & Pregnancy

An excellent article on what you have to watch out for if you are a woman and have weight loss surgery and you want to or could potentially get pregnant. Some important points from the article:

1. The pill might not work:

But birth control can be tricky, since you may not be able to absorb enough of the Pill to make it effective, and diaphragms need continual readjustment as you lose weight. That's why Dr Nease urges patients to use at least two forms of birth control during the first 18 months after surgery.

2. That horrible gestational diabetes test could be a real problem for women who have had weight loss surgery.

Having your weight-loss surgeon on your side also helps you avoid problems your OB/GYN might not know about. For instance, taking the standard glucose tolerance test for gestational diabetes, for instance, can bring on a full spate of "dumping" symptoms for gastric bypass patients: nausea, sweating, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, heart palpitations and other symptoms, says Dr Nease. Ask your OB/GYN to check for gestational diabetes by testing your fasting blood sugar. Similarly, your doctor might prescribe a standard prenatal vitamin, but there are also vitamins created for gastric bypass surgery patients that might be more effective.

Low Carb Discontinued Product Watch

Updated: April 12, 2006 (most recent entries in purple -- scroll down.)

I am going to track what stores are discontinuing good low carb products as a service to readers on a weekly basis. To put products and locations on the list, please write in the comment section below the weekly post. Or, if you email me, please put Product Watch in the email header so I can find them quickly. Please put the complete city and state of the particular chain where you can no longer find the product.

This will also tell us all how good a particular store chains' customer service is. I'll keep a record of when I call to see how quickly they get back to me, if ever.

I have a HUGE backlog of products to update. Email me to get your questions higher up on the list! This week I am trying to follow up on the following products that have been submitted by Low Carb Freedom readers: Carb Options Salad Dressings and Mueller's and Anthony's Reduced Carb Pasta.

Carb Options Salad Dressings: Some Items Discontinued!

According to the telpehone representative, this just happened last week. Unfortunately, the Carb Options French Salad Dressing HAS been discontinued. This was the one unique offering that they had. It was the only low sugar French dressing available in a normal grocery store. If you like it, check out Big Lots or the Christmas Tree Shops to see if they get rid of them. After that, your next bet is to try a low carb specialty store. They also discontinued their Olive Oil and and Blue Cheese salad dressings. This isn't a big deal since there are so many inherently low carb offerings out there.

Mueller's and Anthonly's Reduced Carb Pasta: Discontinued.

Yup, it is gone! While inventory remains, you can get it here:

Premium Products

Toll Free 866-283-1400   

www.premiumproductsllc.com

You might also try the usual places, Big Lots, etc.

You can always get Dreamfield's Pasta here though:

Dreamfield's Pasta REDUCED AVAILABILITY:

If you can't find Dreamfield's near you, don't worry. It is always available at netrition.com.

Multiple reports, including an "Aberdeen" store, that Wal-mart is no longer carrying this item. (Although always available at) I called Wal-mart on 2/22, no response because I did not have the correct name of the specific store. Emailed on 3/8 and received the following response:

Thank you for your message.

Our goal is to forward your message to the proper department.  In order to expedite your message, we must have all the information listed below:

- store or club location you have comments about
- UPC number

Wal-Mart appreciates your business and your correspondence.

Thank you,
Nick
Customer Relations

For further correspondence regarding this issue, please reply to this email.

So, folks, when dealing with Wal-mart, I need your help. You can't just tell me the Aberdeen store. As reader Barbara Vignola says:

Regarding Low Carb discontinued products ....and Dreamfield's Pasta in the Aberdeen store.  It's an absolute necessity for people to not only identify the city, but the state or exact location to be able to determine accurate information.   It's a big world we live in; according to the internet, seems the "Aberdeen" referred to can be in several places:  South Dakota, Maryland, Washington, Scotland, New Jersey, Idaho, North of Hong Kong, North Carolina and Mississippi.

However, having the UPC seems a little much. Kroeger's has much better customer service.

Things do not look good according to reader Jennifer in VA:

I contacted Wal-Mart via the internet and received a personal phone call from the manager of my local Chesapeake, VA store explaining to me that they are no longer carrying Dreamfields' pasta products.  I did find the product a Kroger grocery store in nearby Virginia Beach, VA.

Reader Barbara Norrington has now given me the name and town of a Wal-mart Superstore (Seaford, DE) that has discontinued the Dreamfield's Pasta,; I'm on the case to see if they have discontinued the product chain wide. She says that this is a Superstore. If the Superstores have stopped carrying it, that doesn't bode well for the product for the whole chain because Superstores usually can support a wider selection of products. Again, it is always available at netrition.com.

Post Carbwell Cereal DISCONTINUED BUT REPLACED:

-- The Post Carbwell Cereal is discontinued, and it has been "replaced"by a South Beach version.  But beware, the South Beach Whole Grain Crunch Cereal has more carbs (21g of carbs with 4g of fiber) versus the original Post Carbwell Cereal (14g of carbs and 5g of fiber). One South Beach Cereal flavor, the Toasted Wheat, has a whopping 48 grams of carbs with 8 grams of fiber.

(Interesting note, I have seen Toasted Wheat on clearance at Target. I'm calling to check to see if this carb loaded cereal has been discontinued. What do companies think we are? Stupid?)

Post Carbwell Cereal Bars NOT Discontinued:

-- They have been renamed to the South Beach Diet Cereal Bars. They even have two new flavors, chocolate and maple nut. Make sure you DON'T get the South Beach Meal Replacement bars. Those things are filled with maltitol. Nasty!

(I'm going to have an update on this soon! Changes have happened!)

Low Carb Oreos DISCONTINUED--

The website is incorrect. They may have left the "how to find Low Carb Oreos in your local area" up because the sell by dates of the existing product are not yet expired. This might help existing stores to sell their inventory on the shelf. However, the much spoofed Low Carb Oreos and Chips Ahoy cookies have been discontinued. I bought these occasionally for the kids, but you can still read my review of the Low Carb Carbwell Oreos here.

still listed on their website as available. Try this Low Carb Oreo product link, put in your zip code, check out the stores listed, and then email me with specific information if the stores do not have them in stock. (I don't buy these because of the high maltitol content)

Planter's CarbWell Peanut Bars DISCONTINUED: Email into Planter's for help with availability sent on 3/7. Response on 3/10:

Thanks for visiting our Web site and inquiring about the availability of
PLANTERS Peanut Bar.

It's great to hear from consumers who are looking for our products because it lets us know how much you enjoy them.  The tough part comes when we have to share the news that the product you're trying to find has been discontinued.  If products don't seem to be popular with our consumers, and demand starts to drop, a decision is made to discontinue the item.  Once this decision is made, we stop making the product and the remaining supply is shipped from our warehouse to the grocery stores.

Please add our site to your bookmarks, and visit us again soon!

Kim McMiller
Assoc Director, CRIC Consumer Services (Update: I bought some of these at BigLots in a case without looking at the ingredients list. They are full of maltitol so my husband will be selling them on ebay.)

Keto ice cream bars and Keto Sweet DISCONTINUED.

Keto has gone out of business. More about Keto Low Carb Foods Company here

Keebler Sensible Low Carb Cookies DISCONTINUED: email sent 3/8, response on 3/11.

Katherine,

Thank you for contacting us on-line with your question about Keebler®
Discontinued Cookie Products.

Our company no longer markets this product, since consumer demand does not warrant its continued production.  At this time, there are no plans to reintroduce this product.  We hope you will be able to find another one of our products that suits your needs.

We appreciate your interest and loyalty to our brands and trust that we will continue to meet your needs for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Vanessa Fernandez
Consumer Affairs Department

(It isn't likely that I'll be buying some of their cookie products soon! (grin))

Low Carb Entenmann's Products DISCONTINUED: (email sent 3/8, snail mail returned)

Received snail mail stating that the line is discontinued with coupons attached, including their full carb Boboli line and their regular Entenmann's products. Those will go in the trash. I don't buy that stuff anymore. They also gave a coupon for their regular Thomas' line. There are some low carb products in that line that I will still buy. You can go see for yourself at their improved George Weston website. Their low carb Thomas' bagels, muffins, etc. are listed.

Doritos Edge Tostitos, Cheetos, and Doritos DISCONTINUED:

Please read this post about the Low Carb Edge Products.

Trader Joe's Low Carb Products (some) DISCONTINUED:

Soy Tortilla Chips: Discontinued, although they still have the flaxseed tortilla chips. Low Carb Waffles: Discontinued. Carbsafe Cookies: Discontinued, although they still have Smarter Carb. More here.

Quaker Q-Smart Snack Crisps NOT Discontinued

Ok, Ok, you can tell by my review I didn't like the Quaker Q-Smart Snack Crisps, but if you read the reader's comments, you will see that I am a minority. Surprisingly, Dawn from Quaker told me that these were NOT discontinued. I asked her how my readers could find them and she said that they were available at some Walmarts, Targets, Safeways, and Albertsons. She also said that readers could call 1-800-856-5781 and speak to someone from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. central time for help locating the product near them.

Moove Over Carbs by Stonyfield Farms NOT Discontinued,
renamed to Moove Over Sugar. Now that Atkins Carb Countdown yogurt and Yoplait Carb Monitor have been discontinued (see below),

1. print out this form,
2. check off Moove Over Sugar,
3. and give it to the dairy manager at your local store so he or she can order it.
4. Plus, click here for ecoupons
   

Kraft Carbwell Barbecue Sauce NOT Discontinued,
just reduced availability. (Why the heck don't they just rename THIS to Kraft Low Sugar Barbecue Sauce and keep it the way it is? It is the best low carb barbecue sauce out there.)

Heinz Low Carb Ketchup NOT Discontinued,
renamed to South Beach, seems to be available more now. Ditto to the above. Rename it Low Sugar Ketchup, best low carb Ketchup out there.

Betty Crocker Carb Monitor (SOME ITEMS DISCONTINUED):
Discontinued the Garlic Potatoes, but still producing Carb Monitor Brownies, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Blueberry Muffins

Progresso Carb Monitor Soup (ONE FLAVOR DISCONTINUED):
Discontinued the Chicken Vegetable, still producing Carb Monitor Beef Vegetable, Carb Monitor Tuscan Style Meatball,Carb Monitor Chicken Cheese Enchilada Style, Carb Monitor Roasted Turkey Vegetable (review here)

Dominos Carb Cruncher Pizza DISCONTINUED:
Discontinued Across the US (I won't order from them anymore, even if I'm buying non-carb for people. If you buy three 1-topping pizzas and try to get two plain cheese (common for kids) and one with three toppings, you have to pay for the extra toppings. I don't give them any business anymore. Other places will combine so you don't pay extra.)

Total Protein Cereal DISCONTINUED:
Happened July 3, 2005. May be found at some dollar stores.

Deliciously Slim
OUT OF BUSINESS, no products available any longer. Last batch just donated to a food bank.

Atkins Carb Countdown Yogurt and Smoothies DISCONTINUED:
Stopped being able to order it in August, 2005. Stores selling down their stock. Hood watched the trend and many stores stopped ordering it so they discontinued it. The milk (including chocolate) is not being discontinued at this time. You can buy Dannon Carb Control Yogurt or Moove Over Sugar from Stonyfield. Moove Over Sugar is available at most health food stores, but you can also get it in your area if you push. Stop & Shop carries it, for example.

If you want access to Moove Over Sugar,

1. print out this form,
2. check off Moove Over Sugar,
3. and give it to the dairy manager at your local store so he or she can order it.
4. Plus, click here for ecoupons
   

Yoplait Carb Monitor Yogurt DISCONTINUED
Discontinued the first part of August, 2005. Read the Atkins note above or click here for your other low carb yogurt options.

Hershey's 1g Candy Bars NOT DISCONTINUED -- exactly -- listen to this wording:
Chocolate with Soy Crisp and Peanut Butter Cups are available. All other bars not available for distribution at this time in 2005. They aren't discontinued, discontinued means that they aren't coming back, but they aren't available for distribution. Soooo... I'll translate, they are temporarily discontinued until low carb comes back into fashion. May be found at Target, Wal-mart, Walgreens, Kmarts, and other drugstores.

Sahara Carb Counting Pitas and Wraps
These were produced by George Weston Bakeries (whose website has improved immensely, by the way) and have now been discontinued in 2005. If you can get them, Joseph's low carb pitas, low carb mini-pitas,  low carb wraps, and low carb lavash breads are just wonderful! Joseph's is a New England company with 6 days a week delivery to 650 New England stores, with some in NY. In September they will be expanding to the Wal-mart Super Centers. Their website is coming!

Reader Kris is despairing:

Gone is Carb Options Whipped Dressing (miracle Whip)  Pulled off shelves...I think now that the big companies have driven out the little ones we are doomed...especially now that those same big companies now feel we are not enough to support and are getting out of the business of low carb.  Back to the summer of 2003...when we were stuck with nothing but bark and soy.

I say that we are now going through creative destruction. If we low carb folks don't buy the new/improved/less costly to produce/higher carb versions, we are creating a pent up demand that a smart company will exploit (and thankfully so.) They will create good tasting low carb products with inulin and oligofructose and no maltitol. Bad tasting products have to get out of the product stream for this to happen. We won't go back to just soy and bark, I promise you, Kris!

Sell Your Stock in Maltitol Companies

The tipping point has been reached. Matlitol, with its laxative effects and the prevailing wisdom (not necessarily based on double-blind medical studies) that maltitol prevents weight loss, has doomed it to the remainder bin of low carb products. (Lots of low carb products being discontinued now, many, as I have said, for good reason.)

Many companies are reformulating their products and replacing the sweeteners with inulin, oligofructose, and erthritol. Low Carb Creations is just one of them. Russell Stover should get a run for its money from low carb die hards with ZCarb bars and CHOCOperfection, chocolate alternatives without maltitol. And while Russell Stover has been on the forefront of low carb and no sugar candies, it will have to face a day of reckoning when the low carb dieters, who are more knowledgeable, will view the maltitol based products the same way they view the sugar based products: verboten.

Russell Stover will get away with marketing their existing product (loaded with maltitol) to diabetics who don't frequent newsgroups because most diabetics just follow what the dietitians say and don't do the research that many low carb dieters do... However, all it takes is one more blockbuster book from Atkins or one other diet guru who goes mainstream where it will even penetrate their knowledgebase and the dive that Nutrasweet has taken in comparison to Splenda will be nothing like the dive away from maltitol.

(Note: Actually, most companies that sell maltitol also sell other sweeteners... so it is the manufacturers that still use maltitol that are in danger of losing their customers to upstart rivals. Remember, this is the web, and information travels much faster now.)

Update: A great reader, Lucy, called me to task in the comment section of this post regarding my impression that diabetics follow dietitians advice and low carbers search out more information on the web. In my defense, I specifically excluded diabetics who frequent newsgroups. However, I should go into more detail why I feel this way and base it on some substance.

My first piece of evidence comes from the American Diabetes Association, the place where most diabetics turn to when they are first diagnosed. If you look at the nutrition advice posted on the web, you will see that it is based on the traditional food pyramid where carbs provide the bulk of the sustenance. I regularly scan diabetic books at the checkout counter and they scream "great desserts with only 56g of carbs!" (I actually bought that magazine because of the headline, but I can't put my hands on it right now to quote what issue it was.) I assume that these magazines must sell to regular diabetics because I only bought one of them once because of the crazy headline and there can't be many people like me.

My second piece of evidence comes from the nutritional information of diabetic products: they are filled with carbs. Let's just take one example from memory, Murray sugar free cookies (versus low carb cookies) have a high carb count, and, what is worse is that food manufacturers are moving to no sugar or low sugar forumulations but with plenty of carbs. They are betting that diabetics will still buy them.

I guess diabetics don't have the luxury to be rebels like low carbers do. If diabetics mess up, the consequences are horrendous. It is a much more scary concept to "buck the system" when it could have a real impact on your long-term quality of life. Atkins and others say that low carbing helps, but "the establishment" says that it could hurt you long term.... which way does a diabetic go when a diabetic is praying for that same medical establishment to come up with a cure? Aren't the medical researchers supposed to know what is right? Isn't there a "consensus" around diabetes and shouldn't normal people follow the consensus and not experiment with what works for them because these researchers know better?

Low carbers, on the other hand, don't have those serious concerns. They aren't hoping for the establishment to come up with a "cure". They have already rejected the establishment and gone on a low carb diet despite the "consensus", and if they screw up, well, it is only a matter of a few pounds and not their life. Low carbers are looking to refine something that is already outside the bounds of acceptability. It takes a diabetic with guts to do that. And while there are many out there, I link to a great one my diabetic resource list, there are many more who feel much more comfortable following the "consensus" on what to do -- and I can't blame them. I blame the American Diabetic Association and others who categorically state that a low carb diet like Atkins is not good for diabetics, with no regard for the individual's lifestyle or how they react. "They" have already decided that ketosis is bad and that glucose is specifically needed to fuel the brain and that is that.

It is my fervent wish, hope and prayer that diabetics will someday find a cure so they can have the luxury of bucking the system and living outside the establishment with no thought of the long-term consequences or of being harangued that their chosen diet is dangerous.

I hope this clears things up, and please feel free to comment some more. I don't have diabetes. There could be a huge underground movement outside of the newsgroups that I am unaware of. Educate me.

Alcohol and Low Carbing

A great press release going after some alcohol carbohydrate myths.

1. The liver does not metabolize alcohol into sugar. On the contrary, most people will experience a dip in their blood sugar (glucose) levels when consuming alcohol. Alcohol is eventually broken down by the liver into acetate, and finally into carbon dioxide and water---not sugar. (Editor's note, but it still is burned by the body as fuel before the body burns fat.)

2. Non-alcohol beers do not contain less carbohydrates than regular-brewed beers. In fact, they are all higher in carbs than a typical beer, some almost double in carbohydrate content. Unfortunately, there are too many websites that incorrectly claim that NA beers are both alcohol-free and low in carbohydrates.

3. The glycemic index (GI) of beer, wine, and distilled products is zero. The urban legend that alcoholic beverages have high GIs, has been floating around the diet book circuit for years. If you're on any type of diet or practice a lifestyle that monitors the glycemic index or gycemic load of food and drink, you can still enjoy a libation or two.

4. There are carbohydrates in all wines, even the driest styles, despite what some wine appreciation websites might tell you. The only alcoholic beverages that can possibly have a zero-carb content are distilled products. Fermentation will always leave some residual sugar behind in the form of carbs.

5. There is no sugar in rum. Alcohol is derived from high-carbohydrate fermentables such as sugar, molasses, potatoes, or various grains. If you understand the processes of fermentation and distillation, you'll know that the end result of distillation is ethyl alcohol, a zero-carb liquid. (Editor's note: they are coming out with a lower cal rum, here.)

The author has a book, Low Carb Bartender, that I think I have to check out. Low Carb Cocktails looks like it might be good too.

More on Controlling Blood Sugar

I have written previously regarding Potentially Explosive News for Diabetes, but here is another article with more information about the actual study itself.

It is thought that Salacia oblonga acts in a similar way to diabetes medications by binding to intestinal enzymes called alpha-glucosidases, which are responsible for breaking down carbohydrates into glucose. When the enzyme binds to the herbal extract rather than a carbohydrate, less glucose gets into the blood stream, resulting in lowered blood glucose and insulin levels.

After this report, please be careful about self-dosing. Herbs are not usually regulated like drugs, so I know they are accessible. Just BE CAREFUL if you purchase this stuff online before more studies come out. (There have been a slew of cases of bad botox, and this could follow suit.)

I'm sure the testing of the efficacy won't be that far away since it isn't a drug, and this way they will be able to tell what dose, if any, is best for you. It also gives time for reliable manufacturers to add it to their product list.

I'd wait for it to show up on some reputable vendor sites. I'm assuming if it does prove to work like the initial study that Costco or BJs will carry it. They have some of the best quality vitamins and fish oil pills, and their prices are first rate.

Carbwell Cereal Bars No Longer Have Coupon

For those of you who like Carbwell Cereal Bars (review here), be aware that the coupon that was always available inside the box for $1 off is now being phased out. Marie, a great reader, noticed this and put it into the comments section of my review post.

Now, you can still find some of the "older" boxes with the coupon, but these are not the ones that tout the South Beach connection. The coupon boxes specifically state that there is $1 coupon on the outside of the box. If the box mentions South Beach, then you are out of luck.

I was able to go to my local Market Basket and buy 4 boxes that still contained the coupon at the list price of $2.99. I then used my existing $1 coupons so I bought them for $1.99 for a 5 bar box. This is a great price, but soon gone forever. I may have just "harvested" my last coupons with this act. Sigh. So check your local stores to see if they have some of the older boxes still in stock.

You can also buy the Carbwell Cereal bars in a large box of 24 for $11 something at Costco, although each box comes with 16 peanut butter bars and 8 cinnamon raisin bars. I have one child that will only eat the cinnamon and another child that will only eat the peanut butter, so I have to go out to the regular store and buy more cinnamon bars at some point. However, if you can only buy a 5-bar box for $3.99 at your local store like Marie, then it is definitely worth it to check out Costco.
