RE: How do they make it low-carb?
Honestly, I also avoid the "low carb" foods. Since the SBD is not a low carb diet, I don't even look at the amount of carbs. I just make sure any food meets the criteria:
no added sugars/low in natural sugars
all grains are whole grain
no trans fats
In general, I am trying to avoid most processed foods. But I'm also not struggling to balance raising a child with working outside the home, so I am in no way criticizing those who feel they need them. But I have found that doing advance planning and prep work has gone a LONG way to improving my eating habits!
