 Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Connie. The candy looks fine, of course! As for the flour, any whole grain would be OK – whole wheat is the easiest, but if you need gluten-free, there are whole grain blends around that are prepackaged for convenience. |
 ConnieSides 8 years ago | The candy all use cocoa butter, unsweetened coconut, unsweetened baking chocolate, Swerve, stevia extract powder, tapioca starch, Sugar free chocolate chips, and some call for honey. The bread I am not sure what flour to substitute for plain flour. What would you subject? |
| Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Connie. Good for you! First, whether or not you can eat it comes down to portion size – even the worst things can be enjoyed once in a while in small amounts. Second, the amount you can eat depends on two things: (1) the ingredients – for example, if they are sugar free, what sweeteners are you using? Flours? (i.e., are they whole grain?) What oils? – and (2) what other things are you eating and what are those amounts?
If you would like to outline the typical amounts and types of holiday food you encounter during a typical December day, I would be happy to given you a sample template to work with (with some wiggle room, of course). Note that keeping physically active this type of year is just as important as all of the above. |
| ConnieSides 8 years ago | I enjoy making candy, banana, cherry nut and fruit cake for family and friends at this time of year. If I make them sugar free. Can I eat any of it and if so about how much? I am a diabetic and have family who is also. I have looking for and found some sugar-free recipes. And they use a lot of the same kind ingredents that are used in the TDC. Thank you for all the help. |
