A good number of are only marginally less and in some instances still more than a competitors standard brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' does not always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are identical.
* Replace sugar with a low carb substitute such as splenda. Recipes that call for sugar can be modified to make use of a sugar replacement like splenda instead.
