[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 2198041, member: 48386"] Depends on why you're using them, IMO. If you're triggered to overeat by that kind of food, you might find even "healthier" versions have the same effect on you. Many people who felt they were addicted to carbs seem to feel they are still unable to moderate low carb "re-enactments". If you have a genetic tendency to kidney stones or a previously unknown oxalate sensitivity, you might find health side effects from consuming large amounts of ground nut flours. Nuts tend to be high in oxalate - eating them in small quantities might be fine; but eating them in amounts you're unused to might cause problems. Then there's all the effort involved in deciding/buying the correct artificial sweeteners, etc. They're something that can also cause issues for some people in larger amounts. The big reason for me though, I'm lazy AF so all that faffing with mixing, measuring, etc that baking entails just isn't worth the effort to me. I tried a few things at first in the early days, but rapidly decided the reward wasn't worth the effort. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
