I’m surprised no one in this thread noticed or mentioned it. The new calorie countdown is not the same as the original Carb Countdown. Hoods website would have you believe it is though.
Carb Countdown had 50% more protein in it. This was also written on the box. Had 12g instead of 8. I still got it saved in fitday with the old stats as well.
Bummer that they changed it.

Just this year, when it was Carb Countdown, it only had 8 g of protein. I didn’t buy Hood until this summer, so I’m not sure when they made the switch. I think it was this winter or the past fall.
It surprises me that even beyond all the damage they do to regular milk, such as pasteurization and homogenization that people are still looking for more and more ways to modify and damage it.
We need to learn to leave nature alone!
Taking away some carbs isn’t a bad thing, you know. I can see the argument for homogenization and pasteurization, but filtering out carbs, comeon.
Most people don’t drink milk to get the tiny little bacteria and if they do, they won’t drink Hood or various pasteurized milks.
A while back I tried raw, unpasteurized milk. It was actually pretty damn good. Too bad you can’t find many places to buy it, and most states even ban the sale of it.

Here in Nebraska it can’t be sold in stores, but you can get it off the farm. I found a farm about 15 min. away that sells it. It is simply the best tasting milk that money can buy. I really wish that more states would follow California’s lead and let farmers sell their raw milk in stores.
Also, I agree that going for low-carb milk is just foolish. When you pasturize it, homogenize it, skim it, and take the carbs out of it, at what point does it cease to be “milk” anymore? I mean, what is left? If the answer is protein, surely there are more pleasant was of getting protein than a deformed version of an otherwise fine food.

Why more pleasant? It tastes awesome and has the excellent amino acid profile that milk has. Great for a P + F pre-bed meal with Low-Carb Metabolic Drive and cottage cheese and flax or olive oil for those that follow the carb-fat separation and are looking for a great-tasting pre-bed meal.
Nothing against Calorie Countdown…I use it all the time. I like the 2% myself. It’s just that the raw milk is surprisingly good, if not low-carb.
Here in Florida I could buy it off the farm for “pet consumption only” but my nearest farm is 90 miles away.
Story has it that the founder of the Mayo Clinic had an all-raw milk diet that worked miracles at curing people of strange diseases. I guess it was like a V-Diet using raw milk. Makes you wonder.

The protein decreased from 12 to eight grams prior to the name change.
