"I'll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween."                                                                           — Anonymous Our Favorite Items from the News! Low-Carb Meals Could Spell Next Fast-Food Fight From Blimpie's Carb Counter Menu to WalMart, the surge is on! Atkins Approved: Restaurant Rolls Out Low-Carb Margaritas Don Pablos has introduced a low-carbohydrate version of the classic Tex-Mex Margarita, along with a low-carbohydrate fajita dish! The Road to Obesity Is Paved with Carbohydrates America spends $30 billion a year on dieting, and the rising star in the diet sky is the low-carb approach. A huge number of Americans are tossing the old food pyramid aside!                      Our product review team features two (2) "Products Of The Month" — one in each issue of our magazine. These products will be the group consensus of those we find to be the most innovative, healthy, tasty, and/or helpful to the low-carber's daily dietary regime. Judy's Sugar Free Candies If you haven't yet tried the amazing line of scrumptious low carb sugar free brittles, caramels and more from Judy's Sugar Free Candies, you have quite a treat coming!   I'm not sure how they do it, but they are virtually indistinguishable from their high-sugar counterparts. They make several varieties... first up, "brittle rounds" — Coconut Almond Brittle, and Mixed Nut Brittle. These are 4-oz rounds (that's pretty large!) and are wrapped in a decadent sweet coating and made with surprisingly few ingredients. The Coconut Almond Brittle contains only Maltitol syrup, coconut, almonds, water, and vanilla extract. The Mixed Nut Brittle contains Maltitol syrup, cashews, water, almonds, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, butter, pecans, vanilla extract and baking soda. The Coconut Brittle contains only 1 gram of carb (after fiber) per serving, or 4 carbs for the entire "round". The Mixed Nut is 3 carbs per serving. These are extremely rich. But they didn't stop there — they also offer Vanilla Caramels that come in an 8-oz bag and are rich with a creamy buttery taste (which makes sense since they're made with REAL cream and REAL butter!) Each bag contains 10 LARGE caramels coming in at 1 carb per caramel. And not to sound like an infomercial, "But wait... there's more!"   Next up is their super crunchy Peanut Brittle, packed in 8 oz "tubs". Yes, it tastes like real peanut brittle, and each serving is 2 grams of carbs. These candies are amazing, people. Buy them, and enjoy them from Halloween through Christmas! All of the Judy's Sugar Free Candies are available online from The Low Carb Connoisseur or from Castus. Carborite's New... Chocolate Covered Peanuts!
