[QUOTE="seadragon, post: 1357224, member: 195124"] Low carb is deftly finding it's way into the supermarkets - Tesco does spiralised courgette and cauliflower rice I believe (though I prefer to make my own - I find grating the cauliflower by hand to be quite therapeutic!). I've tended to avoid the ready meals but have noticed they have some good low carb chicken dishes e.g chicken with bacon leeks and cheese, chicken stuffed with ricotta and spinach. These don't quite tick the high fat box but handy to have with some veggies stir fried in a creme fraiche sauce for an easy meal. The ingredients aren't too bad for ready meals though I did laugh to see the cheese sauce contains both skimmed milk and double cream?????? Seems they haven't quite managed to embrace high fat or they'd have put in whole milk. Carbs are under 4g per serving. I've still had problems finding whole milk on occasion (not in Tesco) and the fat free and low fat stuff is still there in abundance. Noticed a woman shopping today - very overweight, walking stick, looking at labels. Her trolley was piled high with the fat free yoghurts and low fat meals. I so wanted to say something to her but was afraid she might not appreciate it. Not sure what can be done to spread the word more. [/QUOTE]
