Low carbs products to purchase at Lawson
Dec 24, 2019
Japan’s staple food is rice, and eating low carbs in Japan is way much difficult compared to Western countries.
Most restaurants and stores offer food with high carb contents like rice, noodles, or pasta.
The snacks sold in Japanese convenience stores are loaded with sugar,
so eating low carbs while traveling in Japan is almost impossible.
The good thing is, ketogenic and low carb diets are gaining their popularity in Japan,
so these days a lot of products were manufactured to be low in sugar and carbs.
This also applies to the products sold at convenience stores,
and Lawson apparently has the most complete low carbs lineup; all marketed as private brands.
Today we’ll introduce three low carb products to purchase at Lawson, which you can use to curb your hunger without gaining too much weight!
Low sugar almond chocolate
Almond chocolate is one of the most popular chocolate snacks in Japan, and at Lawson you can get the low carb version of it.
A bag of low sugar almond chocolate has only around 5 grams of sugar in total. Isn’t it amazing?
The chocolate is not too sweet, and since it’s chocolate covered almond, this snack is also rich in fiber and protein.
Fluffy Japanese style tuna mayo bread
Bread is one of the main carb sources, so most of them usually have high sugar contents.
At Lawson, you can find many different low carb breads, and today we’d like to recommend the Japanese style tuna mayo bread from Lawson.
The carb amount of each bread is around 6 gram, which is pretty low for a piece of bread. Filled with tuna mayo, this fluffy bread is perfect to eat in the morning!
Bran cream sandwich
Our last recommendation is the bran cream sandwich from Lawson.
Made of bran flour, a bag of this only has around 6 grams of sugar. Incredible, isn’t it?
There are four pieces of cream sandwich in a bag; perfect to eat while sipping on a cup of tea or coffee!
Amongst three major convenience stores in Japan, Lawson offers more options for low carb and natural products.
Search for a product package with the “NATURAL LAWSON” logo on it when visiting the store if you want something healthier and better for your body!
