Slow Sales For Low Carb Diet Food

Many food manufacturers have jumped on the low carb diet food bandwagon and produced lower carbohydrate versions of everything from juice to ice cream. This has been a boon for low carb dieters who were hard pressed to find variety in their meals. A couple of years ago, the choices were meat, eggs and more meat, but now the grocery isles are packed with enticing packaged foods to help in your diet.

You’d think that with all the interest in low carb dieting, that the demand for these foods would be skyrocketing, but food giants such as Unilever and Nestle are reporting a leveling off in sales this year.

Is low carb just a diet fad that is ending? Are folks losing interest? Or is it that the food doesn’t taste good?

We think the answer is a combination of the above. Certainly, some people just cannot maintain a low carb way of eating. Sooner or later that birthday cake calls your name and you have “just one slice” then another and another…. So there are probably many who tried and gave up.

But there are many others who enjoy the renewed energy and good health that low carb foods bring so they will continue to purchase manufactured food and hopefully, fuel the manufacturers to keep finding ways to create better tasting lower carb (and healthy) foods.

Some foods that have a low carb version that I recently found in my supermarket include:

  • Hood Milk (regular and chocolate!)
  • Hersheys Chocolates
  • Low Carb Wraps
  • Atkins Ice Cream Bars
  • Arnold Whole Wheat Bread

    Another reason for the leveling off in purchasing low carb food is that there is a trend towards healthy eating and many people are avoiding any processed foods and leaning towards fresh meats, fish, poultry, fruits and vegetables. We like this healthy trend and think that this is what low carb eating is all about! But for those occasional times when you want a tasty treat, we hope that food manufacturers keep on making some of the lower carb versions of processed foods.
