I took some time and researched plenty of low sugar/ and low carb food and sweets that are currently approved for diet. I’m not doing any diet trend; rather, I eat high protein, eat plenty of veggies and limit sugars and carbs. So far, nice success. I’ve been going sturdy for two months.

Each week I analyze many recipes to check what I can make that will keep me curious about feeding healthy. However, usually, these recipes call for ingredients that are not so tasty. Or you find yourself making foods that don’t offer you the satisfaction you’re really accustomed to getting when you eat “bad for you” foods.

One factor I ought to mention is that I wouldn’t say I like utilizing any chemical sweeteners in my recipes. Therefore I don’t purchase or suggest sugar-free anything, no aspartame, sucralose, and other stuff. I like Stevia because it derives from natural sources. However, I discovered something that is even more suitable, Xylitol. This hasn’t become super widespread yet; I assume cause it’s not commercially offered in grocery stores.
