You can enjoy a wide selection of foods with no danger of overloading your plate with calorie-laden carbohydrates, starches and sugars. Many food brands and manufacturers respect consumer demands for low carbohydrate alternatives. They substitute ingredients that offer similar tastes or textures, add spices to make low carbohydrate foods more appealing and may use artificial sweeteners instead of sugarsn to reduce the number of calories. These changes lower the number of calories and offer alternatives to consumers who have a preference for low carbohydrate foods.
