Play the “Count the Sugar” Game with Dana Carpender

I’ve come up with the occasional grocery store game. My favorite is “Count The Sugar.” I’ll grab an item generally purported to be healthful and count the varieties of sugar in it. For example, the folks at Metamucil have been touting their Meta Health Bars as a wholesome alternative to candy or cookies, stating outright that they are “heart healthy” and implying – though never actually saying – that they will aid weight loss. So when I saw Meta Health Bars at the cash register on a day when there was a considerable line, I grabbed one and played the Count The Sugar game.

Low Carb Fresh Baked Pizza Shells by LC Foods Review

Andrew DiMino 1,118

It doesn’t matter if you’re Italian (Sicilian actually) like me or just the average American–we all love pizza. Before our dedication to low carb living, I’m sure we all had pizza at least once per week (and more likely 2 or 3 times each week). But all that pizza crust probably was a major contributor to our obesity before low carbing. That’s why when LC Foods asked me to review their Fresh Baked Low Carb Pizza Shells I was ready–boy was I ready.
