**Question About Low-carb Chocolate**
On Sun, 08 Feb 2004 01:27:04 GMT, Frank Lynch
babbled about **Question About Low-carb Chocolate**: Again, I recommend you try going without chocolate; have some cheese. I agree, cheese is my replacement for chocolate, 3/4 of the month at least. Really good cheese is better than most low-carb chocolates I've tried. I don't mean supermarket stuff, I mean the fancy sort. Triple-creme brie makes a wonderful treat. Atalanta Pendragonne |

**Question About Low-carb Chocolate**
I have some of the Lindt 85% cocoa bars, as well as some Brut 85% cocoa
bars. They are indeed a dark bittersweet, and sucking on one or two squares is very satisfying. I used to be a 'milk chocolate only' fan, but I'm really appreciating these dark bittersweet bars now. Debbie "Frank Lynch" wrote in message If you really MUST have chocolate, what I would recommend is this: Lindt has a bittersweet chocolate bar that's 85% cocoa. A "full serving" (about 40% of a bar) has about 5 grams of effective carbs; |

**Question About Low-carb Chocolate**
I have one of those Lindt bars hidden in the cupboard. Bought it 2 weeks
ago- just don't want it yet Diane "Frank Lynch" wrote in message ... On 6 Feb 2004 18:21:26 -0800, in a clarity of expression resembling Cicero, (*AmBeR*) wrote: Is it allowed in the induction phase? Its only like 2 carbs. I sympathize with how you must feel, but you're trying to change your body's metabolism, and during induction your body will treat sugar alcohols differently than it will later. If you really MUST have chocolate, what I would recommend is this: Lindt has a bittersweet chocolate bar that's 85% cocoa. A "full serving" (about 40% of a bar) has about 5 grams of effective carbs; it is NOT made with sugar alcohols, there is just very little sugar. The chocolate taste is so strong that your chocolate craving might be sated with only 20% of a bar, in which case you're only getting about 2-3 grams of effective carbs. Again, I recommend you try going without chocolate; have some cheese. BUt if you must this is a better alternative than a candy made with sugar alcohols. (BTW, the "70% cocoa" bar has far more sugar. Don't even think about it.) Frank Lynch The Samuel Johnson Sound Bite Page is at: http://www.samueljohnson.com/ |

**Question About Low-carb Chocolate**
Has anyone taken unsweetened chocolate and melted it into sugar free bars?
I'm looking for a recipe- I bought a candy mold, 2 carbs per candy star- but I didn't put enough splenda in it. I've never been a candy maker, but it needs more sweetener and can be softer. I don't want a big recipe. "Debbie Cusick" wrote in message ... I have some of the Lindt 85% cocoa bars, as well as some Brut 85% cocoa bars.
