Grilled chicken breast with Ina Garten’s summer corn salad. It looks dry, but it wasn’t! I did use half the oil and added some peppers.

No leftovers.

I just want to say that I love all these options you have in the U.S. Here in Australia I haven't managed to find all these great no carb options! You've all inspired me to extend the search!

If you can find the Aldi zero carb bread, I highly recommend it

I actually bought it this weekend and had it today for the first time with avocado and it was delicious!

Cinnamon , vanilla and chocolate cake. banana muffins and burger Buns.

Burger Buns? I've only seen the sweet stuff on their website. This stuff looks indeed good. But yes, you're absolutely right: pretty expensive. :636_money_with_wings:

I think you Aussies (and I have no doubt we Germans as well) will catch up in time. When I think about the desert that was vegan food or gluten free food only several years ago, we have caught up quite well (or so I think, at least I noticed that the aisle with the gluten free products has grown a quite a bit). When it comes to low-carb I don't really pay attention, but my husband does. There are quite a few protein-breads available (that shouldn't be allowed to be labeled as "bread" though IMO) and I've seen low-carb muesli, Protein Bars, chips and the like.

I miss a good dairy-free cheese substitute though one can put on grilled sandwiches, casseroles and pizza. The substitutes I tried so far are all more or less 🤢.

There are a ton of coupon codes out and they do have a special on their imperfect Buns. 24 for $18. It’s still expensive but not as bad. I’m hoping they’re worth it. Only one store carries that brand near me and they are always sold out.

Sooo....question. I saw a lady on another group have a 80 grams Protein Breakfast. All I could think is how the f*** you do that, I struggle to get 15 in one meal. Any suggestions? 😁

Ask her what her meal plans are because now I'm curious 😅

Don’t really want to call this ceviche but I guess a tuna and shrimp salad? Used lemon instead of limes. Oh and the egg doesn’t make sense but I just felt like having one lol

Can't your body only absorb like 30 grams at a time or something? That's just silly.

Running wild on the fusion kitchen (yes, I am using up the stuff in my pantry and fridge before vacation, lol): broccoli with udon noodles, yellow onion, fake grilled chicken and vegan "Pizzaschmelz" on top, greek spice mix.

Really complicated answer but in short, it depends.

I used to keep a digital folder of scholarly journals on this but lost them

Here's a few, dive in!

      IMARC Group’s report titled “Alternative Sweeteners Market Report by Product Type (High Fructose Syrup, High-Intensity Sweeteners, Low-Intensity Sweeteners), Source (Natural, Synthetic), Application (Food, Beverages, and Others), and Region 2024-2032”. The global alternative sweeteners market size reached US$ 4.9 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 7.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.05% during 2024-2032.
      Grab a sample PDF of this report: https://www.imarcgroup.com/alternative-sweeteners-market/requestsample
      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness. Food and beverage companies are responding to these trends by innovating and expanding their product lines to include options sweetened with alternative sweeteners, thereby catering to changing tastes and health concerns of modern consumers.

Various regulatory bodies are approving alternative sweeteners for use, ensuring their safety and efficacy. These approvals provide food and beverage manufacturers with the confidence to incorporate alternative sweeteners into their products. Additionally, initiatives like sugar taxes in several countries are pushing companies to seek healthier alternatives to traditional sugar.
