TRUE
Carb Counts in maltitol
sweetened candies
Checking via ketosis and blood sugar
Our sugar free candy
is sweetened
with maltisorb and maltitol, not lactitol or splenda. It tastes just like sugar! From my experience as
a diabetic, the "effective" carbs are much less than the
"rated carbs", because
they pass through the body before absorbing.
Some people say only 1% of "rated carbs" absorb. Others say
30%. I'm a diabetic, not just a low carb dieter, and
take this very seriously. I have NO sugar spike with our candies. My dad eats a few
every night before bed (a bad time) and stays in heavy ketosis.
Don't
overindulge and check your ketosis (or blood sugar if diabetic). See for
yourself. Also, see "eating tip" at bottom of
page. A
candy-maker I know made SWEET fruit pies with lots of maltitol syrup, for her
diabetic friends. They tracked their blood sugar before
and for a few hours after eating it, and had NO
"sugar spike"!
NOTE:
If you choose to order chocolates in the warm months, we'll do all we can to ensure it arrives un-melted. During warm months you must choose 1 or 2 day shipping with ice pack to prevent melting. If you don't, or after it is shipped, it is exposed to high
temperatures, or it is delayed, we aren't responsible for the chocolates melting.
Prices are for a half dozen pieces (unless specified).
Milk chocolate (unless specified). RATING:
the quality found in fine chocolate specialty shops - 5 stars.
HOW
TO ORDER:
Check off which candies you
want, pick the quantity, then click the "add these to my cart"
button at the bottom of the list of candies.
(Eating tip: Many people
have difficulty staying regular on this diet. Chocolates and candy can make the
difference in succeeding or failing. Fortunately for we "low-carb chocolate lovers", excess consumption of
our gourmet chocolates have a mild laxative effect if you eat too many at a
time. Why do I say "fortunately"? Because that
"problem" is also a GREAT excuse to eat them! Eating "the right amount" everyday helps keep you regular
- hey, what a great rationalization to eat chocolate! "It's not just a sinful
indulgence dear, it's a necessary health supplement". Right. Yep. I'm with you!
Anyway, I'm told that eating them on a full
stomach greatly reduces the laxative effect, while eating them on an empty
stomach maximizes it.)
