chocoholicnomore - WHOA, hold on, yes you can bake lots of goodies replacing sugar with sweetener, flour with almond flour or coconut flour or a mixture of them, but best not every single day.
Anyway, here are truffle recipes, they are very easy to do, also have a look in the thread Chocolate Paradise

Marzipan truffles with chocolate coating
500 g ground almonds
250 g Zsweet or to taste/or use your preferreed choice of sweetener
2 egg whites
few drops of lemon juice
vanilla if liked
dark chocolate (at least 70%) to cover
Mix together almonds and sweetener, add egg whites, one at a time, add lemon juice. Please note you might not need the second egg white, maybe you only need half of it, you want a firm paste.Knead the paste well. It may seem a little too dry to begin with, but it soon will aoften.
Let the paste cool a little, then shape into balls. Melt dark chocolate in a bowl placed over a pan with just slightly simmering water, dont overheat! Use toothpicks to dip marzipan balls into the melted chocolate. .
Leave to cool until rhw chocolate is completely set.

Orange Truffles
(you can use other flavours instead of orange, use coffee or cognac, whiskey, any liqueur, cinnamon or even chilli)
200 g dark chocolate (at least 70%)
1 cup whipping cream
finely ground rind from 1/2 or one orange
sweetener of your choice
cocoa powder
Heat the cream and chop the chocolate, add the chocolate to the cream, do not overheat, stir until you have a very smooth mixture, there you are, you have now made ganache.
Grate the peel from an orange. Make sure you only grate the orange. If you get some of the whites you will get an unpleasant bitter taste that you do not want in your truffles. Add orange peel to the chocolate mixture and stir well. Place mixture in refrigerator for a couple hours.
Roll small balls of chocolate mixture and and then roll balls in cocoa powder. This is a really messy job (you are warned). Store covered in a cool, dry place.

As for cakes, you can make muffins, spnonge cakes and ogher goodies by using almond flour, but not doughnuts, you can make cheesecakes, etc, there is no reason to miss out on sweet treats.
Bear in mind that these goodies are meant as treats only, they are low carb, but you need good allr round nutrition, meat, poultry, fish, vegetaboles, eggs, berries, cheese, some dairy products, nuts.
Eating sweet treats every single day wont re-educate a sweet tooth.
