I have been on the LCHF diet for just over 3 months now, the last 6 weeks in Keto ranges so I am doing very well and my blood sugar has dropped below Pre Diabetes now, however I know that if I start to eat the wrong food I will be right back where I started. I know without a doubt that I am not cured but am managing to keep it in check.
I find that recently I am starting to crave a sweet treat but at the moment I am managing to resist falling off the wagon. I have had no sugar or sweetener in coffee or tea since January and want to keep it that way, but I have seen discussions regarding low carb ice cream etc which could possibly be the special treat I am needing occasionally to keep myself going.
I have tried Stevia and threw it all away as it was so bitter it ruined the cocoa drink I was trying to make, I have also heard that many other sweeteners used for cooking are awful, yet most of the ice cream recipes I have seen need a sweetener in them.
Can anyone recommend an acceptable sweetener suitable for a dessert or ice cream that has a decent taste, and also where I can buy it
