Do you use any online sites to buy atkins/low carbs products? ive been looking at lowcarbmegastore.com and the products are so appealing but not sure which ones are really legal or not. are there any other websites you use?

If it's not on the acceptable foods list it's not "legal" for induction.....

What type of foods are you looking for?

i was looking at the da vinci syrup and there is a whole section which states no carb products. surely they must be acceptable if they have no carbs and are sugar free?

I have not used this site in years, so I am not sure what they have. I used this site when I did Atkins back in '03. I ate a lot of frankenfood that time.

Anyhoo...it is www.netrition.com

Ohhh..hmmm..you might be looking for something in the UK.

You can find DaVinci syrups at Walmart, at World Market, our local food chain has it --- look in the regular pancake syrup aisle -- if it's not there look in the coffee aisle. I bought 2 large bottles of the maple syrup from Netrition's site and was upset when I went to our local grocery store and could have gotten it there (the same day - not waiting for shipping) for half the price.....check your local area first.

As far as I know, in Europe you can only order Da Vinci syrups online.

For the UK, this is a good site: Atkins Product, bar | Low Carb Megastore, Carbohydrate Diet, shopping, chocolate, diet, food

Check the ingredients or ask around here before buying something you're not sure about.

Hi Georgina, that was the site i was looking at today, there is a section which has zero carbs products, none of the items have ingredients in it, would i be safe if i stuck to the zero carb part? what have you brought on there that you could recommend?

0 carb does not mean safe.
Click on the product info then on the bottom you see a tab that says ingredients - now click and that one and read. These ingredients have to be legal.
The DaVincis are safe.

thanks for that liv, alot of the products i looked at had no ingredients listed which means i cant risk it.

can someone have a look at this for me?
Maltitol syrup, mannitol, hydrogenated vegetable fats, colour: caramel(E150d), flavour, geletine, salt, emulsifiers: E322, E471, sweetener: aspartame (E951).

i think only the aspartame is not good right?

also please :
Egg Whites, Isomalt, Dried Egg White, Alkalized Defatted Cocoa Powder, Inulin (Vegetable Fiber), Tartaric Acid, Sucralose (Splenda Brand). Excessive consumption of Isomalt may have an laxative effect.
