The new mixes contain 80% less carbohydrates than their regular versions and are high in protein and fibre.
Stimulated by the emerging epidemic of Type I and Type II diabetes and the ever-growing popularity of the Atkins, The Zone, Sugar Busters, Sommersize and other dietary programmes, the company said that one of the fastest growing trends in the food industry today is in the low carbohydrate food product category.
According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 15.7 million diabetics in the US. Additionally, recent health polls have reported that as many as 30 million people have already started or plan to reduce the number of carbohydrate in their diets.
