It doesn’t have to be no carb, just low carb.
I never was much of a sweets eater. I’ve always preferred salty snacks. That was until I was told I was “pre-diabetic” and now I crave chocolate more than ever!
I do find I can substitute veggies for rice or pasta and go lighter on breads with meals and I have managed to keep my A1C in check. Potato chips are still my downfall.

Chips are bad news!

They are cooked in non-food oils like canola, and soy.

“and now I crave chocolate more than ever!”


Try 85% or 90% cocoa chocolate. A bit bitter, but you get used to it. Loaded with anti-oxidants, not much sugar vs. regular chocolate, and a fair amount of fiber.

My wife makes a zero carb fat bomb which is delicious.
