Atkins Low Carb Products

I guess that the topic heading just about says it all.

Has anyone seen any Atkins Low Carb products for sale in Bangkok?

Thanks

I'm going to do what I hate (when posters do this) and be completely unhelpful and give you unwanted advice.

Get off that crazy diet!

Hmmm...must say you're correct, unhelpful. Partly my fault as I should have explained a bit more (didn't realise it was necessary for such a simple question, but there you go).

I'm not on a fancy diet, I'm diabetic and on a forced low carb diet to lower my blood glucose levels. I eat all the normal low carb stuff but in one of the diabetic forums I'm a member of the American participants keep mentioning about Atkins Low Carb snacks which would help in the boredom of my low carb diet.

So, that cleared up, anyone seen any Atkins products anywhere in Bangkok?

Cheers

Think I heard about this diet before. It was all the rage a few years ago no?

Again James, I'm not on the Atkins diet. I'm low carb'ing to reduce my blood glucose levels. I'd rather not do it but, as a diabetic, this is one of the most popular ways of reducing BG levels.

Can anyone answer the question without unfounded or unhelpful comments about the Atkins diet?

Sorry mate, don't mean to make light of your condition, just all the hype that was Atkins. Didn't know they sold products, knew about the book though.

Yea, sorry James, maybe I'm getting a bit touchy. On one hand don't want to come across as a fan of fad diets and on the other I thought I could get away with the question without mentioning being a diabetic on a public forum.

Hi Mick, no they are not available in Bkk, you need to import them. You can do this through there website

or through an online chemist in Australia www.chemistdirect.com.au

[bkkmick]

Thanks lensta, I'll give that site a go and see if it's possible. All the best.

Doh! What a jerk I am.

[bkkmick]

Nope, Jim, just a badly phrased question by me. All sorted now. I've placed an order with lensta's suggested website. (See how much I get charged in import duty!)
