Low Carb Sweets

  Low carb dieters used to have to avoid chocolate and other sweets
  like the plague. But now you can get everything from chocolate bars 
  to pancake syrup with few or no carbohydrates. But are they really 
  low in carbs? and maybe more importantly, are they good for you?

  Just about all sweets are forbidden when you diet because of the carb
  culprit, sugar. A Milky Way bar has 41-grams of carbohydrates, almost
  all from sugar.

  But now you can find so-called low-carb bars with names like Endulge and
  Chocolate Decadence. And the snacks claim to have only have two net
  carbs.

  But a look at the back shows there are actually 25 grams of carbs. So
  what are net carbs? Companies subtract the sugar alcohol carbs from the
  total number of carbs because they say it doesn't impact your blood
  sugar the same way regular sugar does. But, what they don't tell you is
  that sugar alcohol, like regular sugar, has calories.

  Most nutritionists say that to lose weight safely it is necessary to
  reduce calories, not just carbohydrates.
