LOW CARB DESSERTS
Low carb desserts are becoming more readily available as the industry strives to cater for our sweet tooth. Low carb desserts begin with an understanding of how sugar works. Remember that low carbo desserts should be made with a sugar substitute or sweetener and most of them shouldn’t include fruit, which are often packed with natural sugar. Strawberries and blueberries used sparingly can add natural flavor and healthy nutrients to low carb desserts.
CARBS
Carbohydrates turn into sugar within your body and then your energy crashes, sending you on a search for more carbs. But remember that carbohydrates are extremely important and should not be eliminated or severely restricted from a person’s diet. Thanks to decades of research and trial-and-error by individuals and industry, you can find anything from cookies and cakes to ice cream and cheesecakes to enjoy while on a low carb diet. One method is to use soya flour or a protein mixture and soya cream instead of refined flour and milk-cream.
One of the toughest parts of a low-carb lifestyle has always been having to give up pasta – until now! Miracle Noodles makes a variety of types of lower carb pasta and noodles. Combined with a good low-carb sauce, Miracle Noodles will make you forget you’re even on a low-carb diet! Imagine being able to sink your teeth into meat-and-cheese crammed lasagna, spaghetti, shells and ravioli, along with your other favorite pasta dishes. Your pasta dreams can come true on a carb-restricted diet with Miracle Noodle!

SUGAR
Sucralose is a natural derivative of sugar and in terms of sweet taste, it can be substituted for common sugar without problem or need for converting quantities and measurements. When thinking about low carb desserts, we really have to be aware of refined flours and sugar. These days, there are low-carb sugar replacements that can be used for baking purposes to create tasty desserts that are low in carbohydrates. It makes good sense to purchase these sugar alternatives in bulk to save money. This allows you sweeten up your diet without leaving a sour taste in your mouth when you look at your wallet!
CHOCOLATE
Even chocolate has its place on carb-intake limiting diets and thus makes a good part of Atkins diet desserts or South Beach diet desserts as long as it is semisweet and used in moderate amounts. Chocolate chips can be melted with butter to produce a sauce good for use on sugar-free ice cream. Chocolate is supposed to be good for you – if you can avoid the high sugar found in most chocolate. And today, there are many sugarless chocolate bars on the market. Most taste just as good as the real stuff and scientists are finding nutritional value to dark chocolate. Chocolate as a healthy diet food? YES! In moderation, of course.
EGGS
Eggs and especially egg whites, which you can buy separately, can be used to prepare great low carb desserts! Whip egg whites until they are stiff and then fold in your favorite sweetener and a little low carb chocolate or fruit as a base for your favorite recipe, or make an egg-white omelet with a low carb syrup or chocolate sauce for a taste treat. And, of course, eggs are the basis for many tasty desserts that can be easily converted to carbo friendly by using the appropriate exchanges. Eggs also add oomph to salads, tuna and can be turned into heavenly deviled eggs!
LOW CARB DESSERTS, IN CONCLUSION
These days, many common foods have a lower carbohydrate version, often times made by the same manufacturer as the orginal item. This makes it easier than ever to maintain the low carb lifestyle – and, of course – plenty of low carb desserts!

Betty’s Chocolate Turtle Dessert Pizza Recipe
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a sinfully rich, delightfully decadent dessert, Chocolate Turtle Dessert Pizza. It’s a mixture of everything you love–but it is not light on the calories! Ingredients; 16 oz. Nestle Toll House Brownie Bites cookie dough 1/2 recipe of cream cheese frosting (See Betty’s Fresh Fruit Pizza for the recipe, or used canned frosting.) 8 oz. caramel topping toppings–some combination of any of these: miniature marshmallows, semisweet chocolate chips, chopped pecans, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, maraschino cherries, sliced almonds For garnish: Reddi-Wip stemmed maraschino cherries Separate the squares of brownie mix and place evenly in a pizza pan (or in a circle on a cookie sheet). Use your fingers to press the squares together, forming a complete circle. Place in a 350-degree oven, and bake about 11 to 15 minutes. (Do not over-bake.) Remove from oven and cool completely. (You may speed this up by placing the large brownie circle in a refrigerator, after it has cooled a bit.) When the brownie circle is cool, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top. Next, drizzle the caramel topping over the cream cheese frosting, using about half of the jar. Now, place your toppings on the “pizza.” You may choose from any of the above, as many as you like, and add others that appeal to you. Place each topping in a circle on top of the caramel topping, with the circles getting …
Atkins Diet: Should kids do low carb?
In this long Quick Hits video, I discuss whether kids or teenagers (as my daughter oft reminds me) should follow the Atkins Diet as prescribed or a more moderate low carb or carb conscious plan. I respond by saying that for most teenagers a lower carb approach is probably best, especially not if the choice is not driven by the child themselves. I believe as parents we are called to teach our kids a healthy way of eating, and while acknowledging kids’ environment and choices, we should make and help them choose to eat wisely, which by almost any standard should not include “whites” – refined starches and sugars. There should be no requirement for breading or donuts to be healthy or happy. The challenge with kids and teenagers is therefore school lunch programs and their unhealthy nature. This is by no means a discouragement for teenagers, who may want to try Atkins Diet due to an internal desire to lose weight. I just want them to be aware of what their decision means.
