The shelves had little tags under various food items , announcing "Low Carb! " in big, bold letters. This was regular food, too, not just the Slim-Fast aisle, or the dietetic section . Dozens of items , all marked "Low-Carb! " And people were looking at the tags and buying the stuff.
Three days ago, I stopped at the local pub for a quick bite, and giggled as the man at the next table order, substituting salad for fries and asking for the bun on his sandwich on the side.
( Me? I am chowing down on a rueben with fries and a small beer)
So I smiled at the man, and said :" Oh I know what YOU'RE doing! " and asked him how he liked it.
( Not only do i have terrrible eating habits, I am also a Bad Girl in that I talk to strange men! LOL! )
Anyway, he proudly told me all about how he was still in the fairly early stages of Atkin's, but had lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks.
This Low-Carb stuff works and is a REAL good marketing opportunity. Everybody I know seems to be trying it.
Who knows. I may even give it a whirl myself.
