Low Carb Diets Low Carb Diets Getting Started Health and Nutrition Recipes From Laura Dolson, your Guide to Low Carb Diets The stores are full of candy, and it can be very tempting. "Treat", I guess means "sugar" at this time of year. It doesn't have to be that way, though! Some people find that if they have sugar-free sweets in the house they are less likely to succumb to sugary treats. Have a great weekend - Laura Low-Carb Halloween You've been doing great eating low carb, but what to do when Halloween comes around? Do you have the fortitude to keep your mitts out of the candy bowl? Here are some tips to help you make it through Halloween sugar-free. Easy Sugar-Free Fudge This chocolate-peanut butter fudge is made with no cooking and few ingredients. You can easily vary how sweet it is to your own taste. Chocolate Rum (or non-rum) Balls You can whip these treats up in 5 minutes. Vary the amount and kind of liquor to taste -- if you cut down, just replace the rest with water, or sugar-free flavored syrup. Erythritol: What it is and Where to Get It Anyone who has looked at many of my sugar-free recipes which include chocolate has seen the ingredient "powdered erythritol". What is this? It is the only sugar alcohol that quite reliably has very little impact on blood glucose. I have found that including erythritol as at least some of the sweetener in chocolate recipes really improves the flavor and texture over other sugar substitutes. Note: Get powdered, not granulated!!
