I love cheddar flavored pork rinds and they're 0 carbs, but I've found that I can't find them everywhere, like at my Mom's in Florida. There are mostly plain pork rinds and spicy ones and I don't care for either!

I also love putting pepperoni on a slice of cheddar cheese and wrap it up for an easy, yummy 0 carb snack!

If you have a microwave close at hand, find some 0 carb roast beef lunch meat, put freshly shredded (by you) cheese on them, roll them up, secure with a toothpick and microwave for about 30 sec. and enjoy a yummy warm snack for 0 carbs!!!  ;D

Hi Thinisin! :)

My favs are almonds, pecans, peanuts, pepperoni sticks, hard boiled eggs, string cheese, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds (to name a few). ;)

OH, NO!!!... :o :o :o :o :o :o
I'm getting low and was about ready to order another case!

I've been enjoying these almost EVERY morning with some cream cheese & low carb PB with my vitamins as long as I can remember.
Not to mention, as a snack with sardines & mustard, as treat with cream cheese and 50-50 LC jelly, etc., etc..

Guess I need to find a good substitute very soon! :'( :'( :'(

I suppose I could make a LC substitute here at home.
But I sure liked the convenience and the high fiber of GG Brancrisps!
They REALLY grow on you over time!

Just got an idea!...  ::)
Maybe taking GG Fiber Sprinkles that are still for sale in the U.S. (for now) and make homemade GGs! ;D

Not sure how I'd do this, though.
Hey Umpa!...  Maybe you would give this a shot!... PLEASE!!! ;D ::) ;D

Amazon sells the gg crackers. Is $25 for 5 boxes good?

What do you guys think of Torani syrups?

All the other snacks you mentioned sound great! Thank you!!! :)

Thanks, Thinisin! :)

I saw them there too. But there much more expensive at Amazon.
Last time I bought these, I got 30 packages (a case) for $69.50 (no tax & including shipping) from GG.

Netrition.com still carries them.
I just placed an order for a case today ($74.99 + $4.95 S&H) while they're still available.

Tony

BTW, Torani SF syrups are really good!!! :) :) :)
And so are Starbucks. ;)

Hi all!  I've discovered to be careful with the syrups though!  I recently stopped in Cost Plus World Market to pick up some Torani and was shocked to find that some of their sugar-frees now list 1 carb!!! AAAHHH!!  I guess 1 carb isn't bad, but I ended up trying some new flavors because of it lol  :D

Also, I bought & tried the La Tortilla garlic & herb tortillas. Y.U.M.!!!! :-D I cut them in half for a snack. A whole one has 4 net carbs. Better than a real tortilla, IMO! :)

Cut those up (I just use a pizza cutter) and bake them (at about 350) for a bit (about 5-10 minutes.....watch so they don't burn)  and you have some yummy chips to enjoy  ;D ;D
