Ok...just found out about coconut palm sugar that is suppose to be an alternative to sugar, low-glycemic index so safe for diabetics and of course it's coconut so it has vitamins, minerals and potassium. 1:1 ratio as sugar for cooking. The label I saw on netrition is 5 carbs for 2 teaspoons. That would really add up in a recipe but since it's low-glycemic is it too much? I would think too much for a newbie but someone maintaining might could swing it?
Yeah or Nay?
What say ye Doug/Umpa?

Howdy,
Buford here, I just finished cruising the internet. Seems like the jury is
still out on this product. Before I dove into a hole sale move to it, I would
wait until the folks without a money interest in it have spoken up.
Seems like it has a lot of fructose in it which backs me off as a diabetic.
Better safe than sorry, I say wait a little longer.
Our Best to You and Yours,
Buford and the Girls

It is way too high in carbs for me, Izzet.
-
I think there are better choices Izzet. ;) a couple carbs here and there add up quickly.

I'd be worried that it would trigger sugar cravings. The glycemic index doesn't factor that in.

Andrea 70 pounds??!! I am so happy for you!!! ;D

I'm happy for me, too, except that I HATE to shop and I need one more set of transitional clothes before I get to my goal. I'm trying out internet shopping and plan to get to know the UPS guy.

I did go to a thrift store for the first round of smaller clothes. It's still shopping. I'm getting one pair of jeans and two pairs of dress slacks. My co-workers don't seem to mind seeing me in the same 5 outfits every week. It's all for a great cause: ME.

Hi Izzet! :)
I agree... 5 net carbs for only two teaspoons is VERY high.
It's about 1/2 the carbs of refined cane (table) sugar!

That's what I've been doing too Umpa. Save a lot on clothing expenses.

yeah I figured it was too high but just wanted to see what ya'll thought...playing devils advocate as I often do. :D They were advertising that it was low-glycemic and safe for diabetics.
