LC-Foods Chocolate is Not Your Typical Low-Carb Chocolate
Remember the old sugar-free chocolates we used to buy that were full of the sugar alcohol maltitol that gave us horrible gas and caused many of us to suffer from a laxative effect? So did LC-Foods and that’s why their sugar-free chocolate blend includes only a little bit of inulin (chicory root) and a little bit of erythritol as a combined sweetener. Yes, erythritol is technically a sugar alcohol but it is known as natural and to usually not cause stomach distress in most people. LC-Foods only uses a small amount to mix with the inulin. Their blend of sugar-free chocolate tastes great and doesn’t hurt our tummies.
Health Benefits of Almonds for Low-Carb Dieters
Almonds are low in carbs, and high in healthy fats, fiber, protein, and vitamin E. This makes them a perfect choice for diabetics and low-carb dieters. Almonds also have a remarkably high amount of magnesium which can help control blood sugar. Almonds can also help lower cholesterol levels and prevent harmful oxidation of LDL cholesterol. They can also reduce hunger and be incredibly effective in weight loss. Read about all the health benefits of almonds.
As any low-carber can tell you, they also taste great but can be totally addicting! How many times have you tried to eat a couple almonds or maybe even 1 whole ounce and had to stop yourself from over-doing it? This has happened to me more times than I’d care to recount. That’s why a carefully portioned snack of almonds mixed with a sugar-free chocolate can be beneficial to us low carb dieters.
How are Chocolate Chip & Almond LC-Snack Packs?
These snack packs are a no-brainer! The ingredients are simple: unsweetened chocolate, dry roasted almonds, inulin (chicory root), erythritol, cocoa butter, organic soy lecithin, and vanilla extract. No harsh chemicals, no hidden carbs. LC-Foods took their sugar-free, erythritol-sweetened chocolate and combined it with unsalted almonds to get a slightly sweet, nutty treat. Each bag contains two ¼ cup servings with only 2g of net carbs per serving. Take them to work, take them to school, take them wherever you go. They’ll fit well in a purse, backpack or briefcase.
Sweet, simple and delicious, I give this easy-to-carry snack 4.5 stars out of 5. LC-Foods lets you order them individually or in packs of six or twelve. I suggest you buy the 12 pack so you’re less likely to run out. Don’t forget to give some to your low-carb friends and family.
