1. Low Carb cereal.
Some good person here mentioned a low carb cereal,
so I went into a store, looked at its carb data, 15%
versus the normal 60% – 70%. Wow! I bought it to
try. I tried it. Yuk!! (I know that is my personal
taste preferences in action.) It was the least appetising
breakfast cereal I have tasted. I read the list of ingredients
and they did not impress me.
Does anyone know of any nice tasting low carb cereal, or
is that a self contradiction in itself?
I gave up smoking before I really started because it stopped
me fully enjoying the taste of my food.
(Note: The cereal I use has a sugar content of 0.3% versus
2.5% in the low carb one.)
2. Low Carb Milk.
I have read of a low carb milk, but have not seen any.
From what I have seen listed in the nutritional information
on the side of the ordinary milk cartons, it would seem to
me that most, if not all, of the carbs in milk will be sugar.
A chemist once told me removing sugar from milk would
not be a simple matter, so that would suggest to me that
either it may be very difficult to remove the sugar and/or
it may very difficult to produce a low carb milk that has
an appreciably lower carb content.
So can anyone who has seen or used a low carb milk
tell what the carb content and sugar content might be?

In regards to cereal cheerios is low in carbs and colesterol. You might
want to try organic soy milk.

Make sure it is the unsweetened soy milk. The others have sugar and 15
gms of carb!! vs. 2 gms carb unsweetend.

It tastes pretty good to me with some splenda.

You can moderate the carbs by adding protein and oils. For example, I
take a muesli mix (60% carbs) then add chopped mixed roast (unsalted)
nuts, which are mainly protein and fat with some carb, then add psyllium
husk for additional fibre in a 4:2:1 ratio. So the carb content of the
resulting mix is about 35%.
You want low-carb milk? Try using a little pure cream (for taste) with
water (for moisture) on your cereal.

I use 8th Continent Light Soymilk and Carb Countdown. Both are low in
carbs and higher in protein.
Trader Joe’s More & Less cereal is low carb and does not include any
artificial sweetener.
The low carb milk I use is "Carb Countdown" made by Hood. I love it and my
blood sugar loves it too. It has a bit of Splenda in it and more protein
than normal milk. It comes in a 2% version that has low calories and low
carbs and tastes wonderful in things like soup or hot chocolate.

Aside from the % of carbs, how many carbs (& fiber) are there in a serving,
and how big is the serving you are contemplating?
I use cream or 1/2 & 1/2 on my cereal.

I eat a measured 1/2 cup serving of the More & Less cereal. I believe it is
7 grams after subtracting fiber. I have 1/2 cup of the 2% Carb Countdown
milk for another 1.5 grams of carbs.
That works for me.
I make my homemade low carb whey protein powder pancakes as a change. The
stripped down, quickie version I’ve been using lately is:
1 scoop Precision Engineered Vanilla Whey Protein Power
3/4 tsp baking powder.
Stir in a couple tablespoons of water until moistened.
Stir in one egg.
Add a bit more water until it looks like pancake batter.
Fry in a pan like pancakes. Makes two 6 inch pancakes. Tastes so good,
normal people will eat them. That’s 2 grams of carbs total. Serve with
Cozy Cottage sugar free maple syrup (another gram or two).
They’re great with pecans or raspberries too.

Half and Half has some carbs. I use cream (a brand with no additives/carbs)
on cereal, sometimes thinned with water.
For ‘hot chocolate’ I use ‘whey protein isolate’ powder (no additives, no
carbs) and cream.
For ‘milk’ to drink with meals, I mix yogurt and water and cream. The yogurt
may have a little carb/lactose left, but not as much as the label says,
because the yogurt bacteria turn most of the lactose into something else.
