The Diabetes Portion Control Plate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this portion plate for my husband as he is a diabetic. Nice glass plate but the black portion markings eventually washed off. You can make out where they were on the plate if you look at it real close. We now pretty much use it for just an extra plate. I also purchased the portion snack bowl which is very useful to him and myself when serving him.

SweetLeaf 100% Natural Stevia Sweetener Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've tried many kinds and brands of stevia, and I have to say, this is absolutely THE BEST. It's easy to use it in any kind of recipe instead of sugar or other sweeteners: 1 pinch sweetens like 2 tsp of sugar. I use it in smoothies, cakes/muffins, homemade ketchup, custard, even sorbet. Not to mention is has inulin, which helps keeping your digestive tract in good shape. This is one of those things that's always good to keep in stock ;)

Atkins - Endulge Peanut Butter Cups, 12 bars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Endulge Peanut Butter Cups are great tasting, diabetic friendly candy that comes very close to the more famous "real thing". I also like that they only have 160 Calories and 2 Net Carbs, so these do not impact my blood sugar levels.
These are a great snack when I need something sweet. Highly Recommended!

Homedics Paraffin Bath Par-300, Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I normally don't review products I purchase, but this has to be said. I suffer from severe Exima. I work in a kitchen evreyday, and constantly washing my hands causes my skin to crack and bleed! I purchased this item to hopefully sooth my dry skin...well the hot wax did wonders for my skin however, the machine is poorly made. The very first time I used this, the hot wax leaked out the bottom of the machine through what appear to be heat vents. I kept using it hoping the leaking would stop, and it didn't. So I called the Homedics help line and got put on hold. I called them a total of three times and never got an answer. I can't imagine the nightmare of trying to get this machine cleaned up enough in order to send it back to Homedics, and I can't even get them on the phone so it looks like I am stuck with a machine that leaks wax all over my floor.....take my advice, spend your money on a more expensive machine. It will be worth it in the long run!

Atkins Endulge Bar Caramel Nut Chew Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a recently diagnosed Type 2, I now read EVERYTHING on every food label and consult with pocket charts and references. I've lost 50 pounds so far, and have another 25 to go. My doctor is pleased, generally, with Atkins products and recommended them--generally. I love these things. They are a small taste of a former life. Careful monitoring allows me to have up to two (2) of these a day. I plan to give my doctor a box and ask for fhis opinion of these, specifically. There are a number of other varieties, but these taste best to me AND they have the best nutrition numbers.

Skinny Cal-0-Rita Margarita Mix - Voted Best Real Sugar Flavor 0 Calorie All Natural Sweetener - No Harmful Aspartame or Sucralose- 1.5 Ltr Bottle - 11 Servings-Healthy-supplements-nutritional-best Price Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love margaritas, but I hate all the calories. Was excited to hear about the new Skinny margarita by Bethenny. Tried it, and UGH--so disappointing. If you like really salty tasting drinks, then you will like it, but it didn't taste like a margaria to me, and it was very salty. Next I tried the skinny cal-o-rita and was so pleasantly surpised! No salty taste--a little tart, but I had mine with lots of ice, used tequila to mix it with, and it was delicious! For such a low calorie yummy cocktail, I am hooked. Am ordering more right now.

Almased Almased Multi-Protein Powder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read the "Turbo Protein Diet" book which heavliy marketed and based its diet on the Almased powder. To give the diet a fair chance, I ordered the Almased. While it appears to be of high quality, thickens up the shake well (I only used water to limit the amount of calories and carbs), and tastes acceptable - it does help you drop pounds as promised in the book. HOWEVER, I am big on getting good deals and getting the most for my money. To this aim I also ordered Spirutein strawberry flavored protein powder. After losing 10 pounds on the Almased, I started flavoring my shakes with the Spirutein. Once I ran out of Almased, I continued the diet using only the Spirutein with the same results. Another 10 pounds lost. My non-scientific conclusion? You can get the same results using Spirutein, save over 30% the expense of Almased, get a better tasting shake and Spriutein also comes in banana, chocolate and other flavors. BTW - Spriutein is also non-GMO, all natural and very comparable to Almased.

ZOIC Nutrition Drink, French Vanilla (Pack of 24) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)~
Here is a comparative of the Nutrition Facts showing ZOIC first on the left and Slim Fast Low Carb second on the right:
Calories: 110 - 190
Calories from Fat: 10 - 80
Saturated Fat: 0.5g - 1.5g
Trans Fat: 0g - 0g
Cholesterol: 5mg - 15mg
Sodium: 230mg - 260mg
Potassium: 230mg - 550mg
Total Carbohydrate: 5g - 6g
Dietary Fiber: 3g - 4g
Sugars: 1g - 1g
"Net Carbs:" 2g - 2g
Protein: 21g - 20g
The vitamins/minerals are somewhat similar in these two drinks and can be found on the Nutrition Facts on the cans. The biggest difference is that Slim Fast Low Carb has about 73% more calories and 70 more Fat calories per drink.
The taste, which I was concerned about when I order my first case of 24 drinks, is similar with the main difference that the Slim Fast Low Carb has a smoother, creamier texture. I experimented with adding about 80 calories of cream to a ZOIC drink and it definitely acquired a smoother, creamier texture. The overall taste of both drinks, in my opinion, is a good taste; but not a great taste. I would give these products a 4.5 rating if I could.
The Slim Fast Low Carb drink with its extra 70 more calories from Fat seems to satisfy my hunger perhaps 30 minutes longer than the ZOIC drink (without any cream added). ZOIC's package states "meal complement & snack replacement" not a meal replacement; in other words, it seems logical that one would add a small portion of other healthful food to make it a meal.
Both drinks refrain from adding any sugar or sugar alcohols (make sure you are comparing Slim Fast "Low Carb" and not other Slim Fast drinks which do have sugar added). Both drinks are free from Trans Fat.
I like to use both drinks to give me variety in taste and calories. The ZOIC drink at only 110 calories is a good choice when I want less calories and less fat calories; perhaps, when a planned meal time has to be pushed back in time by a couple of hours. If I need something to skip a meal, then I will usually choose Slim Fast Low Carb.
Both of these "Low Carb" drinks are good to have on hand in the refrigerator, so you can choose 110 or 190 calories versus some other super-sized 500 plus calorie item that may be in the refrigerator too.

HealthFitCounter Handheld Diet and Exercise Counter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this as a gift to replace a spreadsheet that I had been using at work to track what I had been eating. It is a better way to track caloric intake as I can have it with me all day and it starts you out with a reasonable database of foods.
The unit itself is designed to resemble a PDA with stylus/touchscreen interaction. It is made of plastic and is of lower quality than traditional PDAs, but is a good ergonomic shape/size and simple to use. The touchscreen is effective, although not as sensitive as PDAs I have owned. Both the touchscreen and the unit itself work well for what they are, and the quality of the materials lend to the reasonable price for the unit. There is a thumbwheel on the upper left side which can be used to adjust the screen's contrast, and this feature seemed to work well.
The software/PC link included allows the user to back up their data, as well as more easily add and edit the food database. It installed easily on my Windows XP Home Edition machine without problems, and the link works well if you follow the instructions provided. Data transfer from PC to handheld or handheld to PC involves transeferring all the data, not just updates, so it takes about a minute each time you transfer. It is a very basic program, essentially mirroring the software on the unit itself, but again does the job well.
Overall, I am very pleased with the HealthFitCounter thus far. It has improved my understanding of what I eat by tracking calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, fiber, sugar, and protein (where I only tracked calories and fat previously - I now know I eat WAY too much sugar). It becomes easier/faster to use as you add commonly eaten foods to your "favorites" list and add foods that were not preloaded with the unit. You can also use the preloaded food data to build up a meal when you eat out to approximate the caloric content (i.e. instead of "Chicken dinner at_______", simply select 6 ozs of chicken, add your dinner rolls, vegetables, and pasta, and the unit tallies the approximate calories into your daily totals.)
Overall I like this unit and am very satisfied. It is easy to use, always handy, unobtrusive, and it gets the job done.

DietCalc Diet Nutrition Calculator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had one of these under the Nutri-Counter brand that I used for 4 years before the batteries died, when I decided just to buy a new one rather than replace them. The units are virtually identical, so I think only the name has changed. (In between I tried a CalorieSmart, which I hated and returned because it was too cumbersome and time-consuming to use - for example you have to enter the whole word for a food - and it has a big bump on the back so you can't even lay it down to use it, you have to hold it all the time). But the Dietcalc is flat and compact. It's easy to use in that you can enter one or more letters and it will instantly bring up the first choice beginning with that letter or combination of letters and from there you can scroll through items alphabetically. You can then select the item and change the quantity if necessary. This principle also works when adding new foods, so that if you find something similar to your new item, you can bring it up, enter the name for your new entry, change any or all of the values (calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, sugar, fiber, and protein), press save, and have your new item as a permanent addition. To save time, for meals or snacks I routinely consume, I like to enter all the components, like shreaded wheat, milk, and orange juice for breakfast, write down the totals, then make a new entry such as "BR" with my toal values, so that's all I have to enter every morning. You can also set goals in each catagory and the on-screen value will flash if you go over. And it has a balance button so you can see how many calories, etc., you have remaining before you reach the daily limits you've set. I'm mainly interested in controlling calories, fat, and sodium, and I've found it very helpful as an aid for staying at or under my goals for those. On the downside, you can't review the items you've entered - you only see the running totals for the day.
