Sugar-Free Chocolate - Low Carb Diets

If it is a particularly attractive treat for everyone, and fans of the low-carb chocolate is, equally, a sin and a miracle. Sin, by the enormous amount of carbohydrate usually, and miracle, so rich you never know when you usually take sugar.

For these sufferers, has long been on the market unsweetened chocolate (The best known brands are Nestle and value), but is it really appropriate for a low-carb diet?

Let's say your nutritional tables. This is the black unsweetened chocolate Nestlé:

As you can read, both have virtually no sugar. But the information regarding the carbohydrate is not as clear. The Nestle indicates 51.2 per 100 grams, most of them (47.7) polyols, ie, in principle sweeteners do not "count" as carbohydrates. The Value seems to have less, 38.3 per 100 grams, but in this case do not specify what type they are, so do not know if, in addition to sweeteners, has flour, starch or similar.

So it looks like the safest choice for a diet of this type is the black unsweetened chocolate Nestle. You will have to monitor the significant amount of saturated fats that have these chocolates. In any case, moderation, one trusted and shortly feasting is a whole tablet in n time of weakness.
