*I want something in the afternoon, always have now I use a Natures Plus Keto bar and that seems to satisfy my need. Is it low blood sugar? I'm not hypoglycemic.
Luckily I don't have the mood problems with low carbs. I did used to have energy problems with an over indulgance in carbs. When I ate carbs and or sugar I just wanted to eat more. Now at least I am totally aware of my carb in take.My whole family has mood disorders. I am not sure why but we all feel better when we eat very little carbs. and give up sugar.
Plus Atkins has some of the best recipes I have ever cooked.
I don't go for the chemicals for the sugar replacements. I like the pure white stevia. I wish there could be hunky milk chocolate bars with stevia as the sweetner.
Okay I have gotten side tracked.
