"Living Off the Fat of the Land - The Low Carb Transformation. Low Carb - Hi-profit!"

"This massive shift in consumer lifestyles is reshaping the food industry as staples, such as bread and orange juice, sales decline, while demand increases for meats and cheeses and low carb versions of pretty much everything. Coca-Cola, ever alert to consumer beverage trends, is introducing a low carb, lo-sugar version of Coke this summer called CokeC2.

Analysts predict that this year alone, low carb products and services sales will hit $25 Billion, a $10 Billion increase from a year ago!"

"Carb Wise: Considering Low Carb Products In Your Company's Brand Portfolio"

"The low carb industry has this year seen a dramatic boost in the range of products available across almost every sector. Even the candy industry has managed to stay current with this new shift in market demand. Hershey's who launched their new 1 Gram Sugar Carb Bars in March, 2004, has decided to invest more in the product after seeing just how successful their line of sugar free Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and chocolate bars were after their first year on the market.

With three different varieties including almond, plain chocolate and soy crisps on the line, carb counters can expect to see carbs fall back to anywhere from 16 to 18 grams per bar. An impressive feat and some other companies such as the Albanese Confectionary Group, have even started remaking the World's Best Gummi Bears as the World's Best Zeros, offering consumers 0 fat, 0 sugar and 0 net carbs.

More and more products we are seeing, ranging from Gummi Bears, to bread to beverages are taking the carb counter's roll back and it appears that more companies are adding something that is low carb to their lists of options to offer the consumer. The beer industry is certainly becoming no stranger to these demands made on lower carb living.

With Michelob Ultra offering us 2.6 carbs per serving as of last September, Miller Lite is also putting up ads claiming that it was the original low carb beer, with just 3.2 carbs per serving. If it's a race to see who has gotten there soonest, its certainly worth examining how these companies are benefiting in this new low carb market."
