Hi there, I've been having a look around the Low Carb Megastore...and there is a lot of enticing no carb sweeties on there! :) :) is this too good to be true? I mean can they really be eaten in addition to ur daily allowance of carbs? And on induction? Cheers x
 
They can but most play havoc with peoples' systems because of the artificial sweeteners they use, like sucralose and malitol - any more than two of the sugar free boiled sweets and I am up all night - and not in a good way! :)
 
And if tummy probs weren't enough - they stall some people. Strongly recommend you avoid fake treats as much as possible. Use in emergency only!
 
Agree with all the statements above!
I am really sensitive to polyols so any of those make me stall! But the Rhubarb and custard certainly hit the spot if i must have something sweet! Even then its only 1 sweet :)

A GI of 36? I dont know what that is, but it sounds bad!
 
a great choc fix is 1 square of 90% choc (melted), spoon into 3 tbs of whipped cream. its my twice a week treat and works for me x
 
Hmmm i'm thinking i might stay away from sweet things for a while....have tried mixing a little cocoa powder with cream, atkins bars, a few sugar free sweets....over the last week (and it's only my 1st week....still having big cravings!) and my loses have stalled :( xx
 
I quite like an oopsie roll, spread with a generous dollop of chocolate creme fresh (which I make by mixing the creme fresh with a spoonful of splenda and half a teaspoon of coca powder).

Its that good it takes me a while to eat it becuase its a bit sickly! lol! Not sure if creme fresh is induction friendly tho, would have to check. But whipped cream would be just as tasty! :)
