Low Carb: Diabetic Chocolates
Diabetic chocolates vary tremendously in terms of quality and general taste. It used to be that they would range from gritty and sour, to passable. For the diabetic who enjoys really good chocolate (Im not talking Hersheys bars here) there didnt use to be a lot of options.
You can usually find a number of different types of diabetic chocolates at health food stores, and maybe even a couple at your local grocery store. Diabetic chocolates, for those who dont know, use sugar substitutes as sweeteners. By eliminating the sugar content of chocolate, you eliminate the risk it poses to diabetics.
For people on low carb diets, diabetic chocolates can be a great way to satisfy your chocolate cravings without making Mr. Atkins irate. Oftentimes though, sugar substitutes just dont taste that good. They can make the chocolate taste off. Luckily, there are some new sugar substitutes out there that sweeten like sugar and add a negligible amount of carbs.
Diabetic Chocolates Are a Safe Way To Satisfy a Chocolate Craving
For the diabetic and the non-diabetic alike, finding a source for low carb, sugar free chocolate is a healthy way to wean yourself off of a food source that is high in white sugar. When youre looking for diabetic chocolates, check out the ingredients list. Look for the sugar substitutes oligofructose and erythritol. These two sugar substitutes taste more like sugar and are healthier than other sweetener options.
