Sorry I didn't ping you. Being the carb pro that you are...coach. :-)I thought you would have had these already.

I saw some low carb ketchup somewhere. I don't use it often so it has slipped my mind.

[Miss Marple]

The Akins cook book (which I bought a couple of days ago) sys that many health food stores carry a low-carb (sugar free) ketchup.

[Mr. Mulliner]

Mrs. Mulliner just said that she doesn't think we could make any lower carb peanut butter than what we buy. We have been buying PB with no sugar added for quite a while now so I guess the only carbs come from actual peanuts....and hard to make peanut butter without them.

When I was on Atkins, not just the maintenance phase, we were in Singapore and there weren't many low-carb foods available. I was very pleasantly surprised by some low-carb items when we came back here last summer. But by that time I was into the maintenance phase and didn't pay all that much attention to those items.

I may go back on the induction phase soon. Since quitting the night job where I walked about 8-10 miles every night, I am lacking in exercise and feel myself getting soft. I can't seem to stay on a good maintenance phase diet for more than a couple of days now because we have too many things around here that aren't geared for me and with Mrs. Mulliner working full time now, I'm fending for myself more.
