When looking for a dressing for your plate of yard clippings look no farther than the Ken's steakhouse brand. Pay close attention to the lables and you will be surprised to find 1 and 0 carbs salad dressings that taste no different than the regular dressings.

We have tried nearly every flavor of dressing and so far like very single one.

Most of the light dressings (check the lables) come in at 1 carb. The ceasar dressing has 0 carbs and does not have an anchovie paste after taste.

Try the Ken's. Your carbs are counting on you.

The Heinz tastes just like regular ketchup only maybe like a cheaper brand. That is not to short change this product.

1 tablespoon of the Heinz is 1 carb. Not too shabby for the feel and taste of one of the most favorite condiments for meat.

There really isn't much more to say about it other than it earns itself 5 fatladdy jiggles.

Colby is a ketchup eater. This diet has wrecked her eating habits as far as having meats with ketchup.

When I saw the Walden Farms brand listed as 0 calaries and 0 carbs I felt it was worth try. The cost of the bottle at over $5 almost made me change my mind but I didn't. I am trying to help her not make her stumble.

We have tried some of the Walden Farm items in the past and while they have promise they often come up short on y expectations. They actually perpetuate the notion that diet food tastes like fake and rubbery sustitutes for the real thing. I tried to keep an open mind this time as I always do when trying something new for the first time.

Initially tasting the product I didn't expect alot. I wasn't too let down in that reguard. It tasted more like cocktail sauce to me than ketchup.

For supper I had cooked steak and shrimp. With the beef the sauce did not taste at all like real ketchup. With the shrimp it didn't really taste like cocktail sauce. Adding grated horseradish made it a fairly good cocktail sauce.

For ketchup it is a loser. For cocktail sauce it is a winner. A double winner at no calories and no carbs.

I purchased a 4 pack of the chocolate fudge flavor for under $4. I like this drink much better than the Atkins equivalent. The chocolate taste is better and in general the price is lower.

Later I went back and picked up the strawberry and the french vanilla flavors. Both 4 packs for the same clearanced price of $4.

The strawberry is sort of like drinking strawberry quick. It has a pleasant taste and little aftertaste.

Not true with the vanilla. The vanilla tastes like water that has had vanilla extract dumped in. I do not care for the vanilla at all. However, Colby likes it just fine.

I was thrilled with the fact that I could drink this shake in place of lunch and only consume 1 carb. That is major for an 11oz drink.

Imagine my surprise when we picked up a new package of the advant Edge shakes and found they had change the formula.

I thought I had mistaken the carb count. I dug through the garbage for an old container so that I could compare it to a new one. I was right! The fuzzy brain syndrome of ketosis was not making me think I had lost it. The new drinks are 2carbs and 110 calories.

I do not understand at all why they would boost the carbs. 1 carbs is sacrificed for 2 extra grams of protein and an added 10 calories. It makes no sense.

While this shake in the chocolate flavor is my drink of preference I can no longer judge it against the Atkins Advantage Shake.

They both have 2 carbs now. The hike in carbs is a blow to my grading system. Due to this change I can only give them 4 fatlady jiggles.

I took that tag line to heart and ordered the brownie mix claiming 1 carb per serving - 1 2inch x 2inch brownie.

To bake the mix I needed 2 oz of bitter unsweetened chocolate, 1 stick butter, 1/3 cup heavt whipping cream, 2 eggs for thick brownies or 3 eggs for more cake like brownies. Bake at 325 for exactly 12 minutes.

I used 2 eggs and the brownies came out like cake anyway.

The pan came out and it certainly looked like brownies.

They taste like, well, nothing. They don't have much of a taste at all but they do have the bitter undertone of dark unsweetened chocolate.

This was a $4 and change experiment that wasn't successful. We will eat these, 1 carb at a time.

However I will not buy this mix again.

**Update!

Having sat on the counter and 'cured" for several hours the brownie flavor has changed. They taste more like dark chocolate cake without icing. I might be tempted to buy this mix to make a chocolate cake if I could find something for icing.

The Atkins drinks also cost $1-3 more/4-pack than other drinks that are offered in the low carb catagory for protein drinks.

If I had to drink them I would. They aren't that bad. The chocolate and strawberry flavors are the better of the offerings. They are not that great of a flavor though compared to the same flavors in the Advant Edge line of shakes.

The major flaw is the carb content. These drinks have 2 impact carbs. That may not seem like a lot but when you are counting carbs it is a giant amount. Every single carb counts. I won't drink 2 carbs when I know I could be drinking a drink with only 1 nest carb (and paying less to do so).

The Atkins Advantage shakes come in designer flavors: Strawberry Supreme Shake, Creamy Vanilla Shake, Chocolate Delight Shake, Café Mocha Shake, Chocolate Royale Shake, Vanilla Caramel Creme Shake. I have tried all the flavors and they all have the same undertone of taste. I really don't like them all that much.

These shakes do the job of filling you up. They are low carb, high protein but more expensive than I am comfortable paying.

Based on price, after taste and that extra carb I am giving them 3 fatlady jiggles.

This is the third in the line up of milk products. And it is CHOCOLATE!

My discussion of this product is limited due to the fact that it is chocolate milk on a low carb scale and it is really good. Although it is really thick too. It is rich. And it is delicious.

I find it a bit too thick for my likes so I use the fat free milk and thin it out, half fat free and half chocolate. It does not alter the rich chocolatey flavor in any way.

4 net carbs! Can you believe it?

Hood is getting 4 fatlady jiggles for this product. I withhold 1 because it is a thick drink and I do not like thick drinks unless it is a real milkshake made with icecream and gives me brain freeze.

My favorite is the fat free milk dairy beverage.

I am a drinker of milk. Normally I buy 2% milk for the kids and I find that at times it is too thick for my liking. When I buy skim milk it is just too watery. With the Carb Countdown Fat Free it seems to be just right.

This is not exactly like drinking a big glass of cold cow milk. It is not like drinking a big glass of soy milk either. I love vanilla soy milk with its silky smooth texture. The carb countdown is somewhere in between.

The taste isn't the best but it isn't bad either. When you want a sandwich and a nice cold glass of milk this is the answer for the low carb lifestyle.

Because it is not exactly like milk and it doesn't tastes exacly like milk I am giving it 4 fatlady jiggles. It passes my lips and I don't mind it going down.

Fatlady Jiggles:

The first is a 2% low fat milk.

There isn't much to tell. It has the flavor of skim milk.

For my taste it is too thick. I usually buy the fat free variety. when it is not available I buy the 2% choice. When I drink this milk product I cut it by half with water. The only way I can even begin to explain my definition of 'thick' is to say it is like drinking a thin set pudding or jello that is not gelled. Get the idea?

It tastes fine. It is low carb.

Because I do not like thick drinks (I even cut orange juice by half with water) I am giving the 2% dairy beverage only 3 fatlady jiggles.

I have been eating this bread since I was pregnant with my son. I have made sandwiches and served it as breakfast toast. On every occassion this is a perfect slice of bread. It doesn't have an odd lingering flavor. It doesn't taste like cardboard. It is almost a perfect slice of bread.

When I think of bread I think of Little Miss Sunbeam Old Fashion Round Top bread. The softest most perfect sliced bread for pb&j sandwiches. Sunbeam is a 5 star bread and then some. It is sunbeam that I compare the Arnold's to.

Arnold's bread is soft, smells heavenly and keeps well on the kitchen counter (doesn't need refrigerating). It is moist but the one thing that stands out is it is not as tender as the full carb bread. It is just a bit tough. Not so much that most people would notice. My husband surely would not see any difference whatsoever in Arnold's and a full carb whole wheat bread.

Based on the fact that a person can be on a low carb lifestyle and still eat bread is amazing. The food manufacturing industry has come a long way, baby, from the diet days of 20 years ago. The only difference is (other than the whole grain) is the tenderness of the bread.

Each slice of Arnold's whole wheat and multigrain bread is 6 net carbs. 12 carbs total for a sandwich. Regular bread is 42grams or more of carbs. Arnold's isn't that super thin bread that seems as if you get a half slice stretched to full size.

Product: Arnold's Carb Counting Bread
Serving Size: 1 slice
Calories per serving: 60
Total NET Carbs: 6g
Price: $2.19/ loaf

I give this bread 4 fat ladies. I am withholding 1 fatlady because the bread has a bit of toughness to it.
