You may notice you suddenly feel exhausted after consuming a yummy treat for dessert. It makes me feel like I'm groggy and slow - like my mind has stopped functioning. This becomes particularly difficult when you are in situations where alertness and presence of mind is required. This is one of many reasons why I decided to try low carb desserts instead.
Low carb desserts are similar in taste to other desserts. They are equally sweet and delicious. However, the main difference is that they are made from low carb recipes. That pretty much negates the presence of sugar and flour. Instead, low carb desserts are usually sweetened with a naturally non-caloric sweetener, such as stevia. This provides the saccharine-sweet flavor that is normally provided by sugar but without the added calories. The flour is often replaced with something like coconut flour, flax meal, or almond meal. This means your dessert will have high fiber content instead of being pumped full of carbohydrates. This fiber will in turn help your digestion and help slow down any glucose from entering your blood. You wouldn't have to worry about experiencing any sugar crash after a meal. So, you will stay alert and awake for longer.
But increased wakefulness is not the only good thing you can get out of this. Eating low carb desserts will also help you lose weight. Instead of sugar, these low carb desserts will be using non-caloric sweeteners that pretty much trashes all those calories you'd normally get from sugars used in normal desserts. There is nothing wrong with zero-calorie sweeteners except our perceptions of them. Many think these sweeteners are not natural at all but, really, can you honestly say sugar is natural, after all the processing it is subjected to? Besides, not all zero-calories sweeteners have been manufactured artificially. A plant has been extracted and this is what is now widely used in many countries and known as Stevia. Japanese people have been using Stevia for decades to fight sugar addiction and excessive consumption.
It is natural for you to be a bit of a skeptic about this. After all, can something with no sugar and no flour really taste good? We could spend hours and hours discussing just how much I love low carb desserts, but you won't have a clear picture of it unless you actually try these desserts yourself. It's easy to get hold of low carb desserts these days. Some you can purchase online, and some you can make yourself.
You can't fail to find low carb dessert recipes since there's so many of them around. I have only recently discovered a recipe for delicious low carb fudge! I just chanced upon the recipe on one of my online forays. They are very easy to make and the ingredients are very few and also easy to find. If it were any other recipe, you will be hard-pressed to look for rare and expensive ingredients. When cooking with these recipes and using ingredients that are unfamiliar to you, make sure you follow the instructions carefully. Also, be discerning when you pick your recipes, because not all of them are as low carb as you might think. There are cases where supposedly low carb recipes actually have very high concentration of carbohydrates.
There's not much more to say about this except that I hope you go out and find some great tasting low carb desserts.
