And each 8-ounce serving of Carb Countdown has up to 50% more protein than a glass of milk, with more calcium and fewer calories. The Carb Countdown line includes Homogenized, 2% Reduced Fat and Fat Free white varieties, and 2% Reduced Fat Chocolate.

Registered: October 2002 Location: Athens, GA Posts: 1146 Review Date: Sun September 19, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Long Shelf life, Great Taste Cons: Cost OMG, My roomates get a gallon of regular milk and it goes bad in a week. I open a box of Carb count down, and I'm still working on it a week later! I only buy it when it's close to the sell by date (they mark it WAY down) sometimes I only pay $1, but It still lasts forever. I just put an extra box in the freezer. I use it on LC Cereal, Pudding, and I freeze the chocolate to make a Frosty in the blender. EXCELLENT!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: TASTE Cons: NONE I bought the 2% chocolate and skim white milk. Both are fantastic... but the chocolate is EXCEPTIONAL. I can't wait to heat it up and make hot chocolate! The white milk tastes nearly identical to the skim I used to drink. I love it. I really missed milk and now I don't have to! Great product and I highly recommend. LisaM30 Junior LCF Member Registered: September 2004 Location: Tampa, Florida Posts: 3 Review Date: Thu October 28, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: Chocolate tastes like a creamy "sort of" milkshake. Cons: A little bit of an after taste and pricey. I tried a container of the chocolate and a container of the 2% and loved them. I didn't drink the white milk alone yet, I mixed half and half. The chocolate seemed too chocolatey for me. Delicious and you feel like you aren't cheating. My husband and daughter loved it as well. I recommend trying it! yolonda Senior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Snow Country Posts: 223 Review Date: Sun October 31, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $2.94 | Rating: 10    Pros: taste,consistency Cons: none Ilove it, love it ! I have been looking for something that I can use in my coffee/ tea that is low in carbs & this is the one ! I bought the "Whole " carbcountdown.Its creamy & has a good taste.I use it in cereal to.It was $2.94 @ Walmart for half gallon. Little pricey but its worth every penny & I will keep buying it. Love this site. SlimmingSigma Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Chicago Posts: 16 Review Date: Fri December 10, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 3    Pros: Cons: texture and taste I tried the regular and it was just too much. I tried it straight and with a low carb AND regular cereal. It's too thick . . .like it's straight heavy whipping cream with flavoring . . .and the taste is off. If it came in smaller sizes I'd feel better about having to toss it out because I know I'm NOT going to use it all. Maybe the chocolate is better and/or maybe the products work betters as pudding, heated, or as part of a baked good but alone, to me, it's not good at all. KristenT MAJOR LCF POSTER!

Yes | Price you paid?: $2.99 | Rating: 8    Pros: Chocolate is very good! Cons: price I loved the chocolate. It tasted great, but was a little on the thick side. I didn't care for the white milk at all. I used to be a big milk drinker and this tasted nothing like the real thing. cutevic Very Gabby LCF Member!!! Registered: September 2003 Location: Chicago,IL.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Good taste, filling Cons: The chocolate is great. It tastes like chocolate and is very filling. It's almost like a milkshake. 4mrSgrAddict Junior LCF Member Registered: May 2004 Location: WI Posts: 10 Review Date: Sun September 11, 2005 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Cons: This stuff deserves an 11. It's the perfect milk replacement. Taste of the white milk is a little off, it doesn't taste just like milk, but it's the best alternative there is. I even use it to replace cream in some recipes (cuts some of the carbs) and it works quite nicely. jedswife MAJOR LCF POSTER!

Patchwork Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2005 Location: florida Posts: 3 Review Date: Thu November 17, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: ab fab Cons: could overindulge if not careful I actually found this at wal mart and it tastes great and only available until the end of the year according to hood so its worth a try at 1.99 in central florida tastes as good or better than the real thing. carreont Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2006 Posts: 39 Review Date: Fri March 10, 2006 Would you recommend the product?

LibertyJen Senior LCF Member Registered: September 2006 Location: Northern Kentucky / Cincinnati Posts: 535 Review Date: Sun October 29, 2006 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: I use it in cooking, in coffee, in cereal, I love this stuff Cons: Although I am finding it hard to locate in my local stores, I love this product! I use either the WHOLE milk or the 2% (what would be the point in using the SKIM??? and I like to make my own chocolate milk with my own ingredients). This is a staple on my shopping list! acl Junior LCF Member Registered: October 2002 Review Date: Wed January 17, 2007 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $2.99 | Rating: 10    Pros: Only 3 gm carbs and only 45 cal. per cup Cons: Hard to find I drink 2 cups a day of the fat-free variety, saving 70 cal a day. I finally lost those last hard-to-lose pounds when I switched to this milk from regular fat-free milk. If you like regular skim milk CalorieCountdown is a no-brainer.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Cons: I have used the 2% to make SF pudding, Mashers, and I even love it alone. I also love the chocolate!
