LLVLC On YouTube: Low-Carb Sugar Alternatives (Episode 4)

Popular LivinLaVidaLowCarb.com blogger Jimmy Moore and his adorable wife Christine discuss the sweet stuff you can enjoy on the low-carb lifestyle.

From Diet Rite soda to ChocoPerfection chocolate bars, these two take a hard look at the sugar alternatives and tell you which ones to gravitate to and even which ones to avoid at all costs.

You'll notice the video just kinda abruptly begins and ends...there's a story behind that! Christine and Jimmy got carried away with the time that they went almost THIRTEEN minutes.

Well, YouTube only allows 10-minute videos max, so Jimmy did some creative editing chopping off the front (where he was singing "Sugar, awww, honey honey" to Christine--CUTE!) and the back (where they gave praise for the members of the new LowCarbDiscussion.com forum Jimmy created).

We'll get 'er done better next time! ;) THANKS for watching "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb On YouTube!"

splenda (sucralose) is not good for you either, but of course this vid is 2 years old lol. Stevia is the healthiest and xylitol is ok too.

@Hseegee I agree Splenda's probably not the best in the world, but you could certainly do worse (NASTYTAME!). Stevia and the erythritol/stevia blends are awesome.

Is the lax effect from the Maltitol the only thing bad about it? It does not have that effect on me. So does that make it ok??

[livinlowcarbman]

There may be some glycemic effect on your blood sugar as well.

i can't break my diet soda addiction!!! i have even tried green tea as a replacement. and then bam i get a craving for soda. but...i'mma try hard

[livinlowcarbman]

I still love my diet soda, too. :)

My wife is allergic to Sucralose and all the of "ose" sweeteners. It puts her into anaphalaxis and off to the ER we go. So while it does not bother me, i do not allow it in the house. EVERYTHING... almost... now has sucralose in it. even toothpaste and mouthwash. We have to check labels on anything that might go into the mouth or lips.

Her allergist said that she is starting to see problems from sucralose more often.

That said, great vids you have here thanks for the info.

Publix brand diet sodas are sweetened with splenda.

Great information! I'm still in induction, but already looking forward to the occasional sweet treat that won't break my carbohydrate bank.  I'm heading out now to find Diet Rite soda and Fuze Slenderize.

Thanks again...Jack
