How to substitute sugar in atkins diet recipes?
Before we proceed on sweeteners, it is necessary to remember
that the best course of all is to use sweetener as little as possible
in atkins recipe. There are mainly 2 artificial sweeteners:
Aspartame : Aspartame is not recommended for cooking as it does
not hold up to cooking temperature. More importantly, research
has suggested that it may be harmful to the brain. So don't use
it in your atkins recipe
Splenda : A sweetener that tastes good. Do not deteriorate in
heat and most importantly is not a harmful substance. It has been
around for some time in several countries and receives FDA approval
in the United States in 2000.
Fat can have an impact on your atkins diet program. You can use
oil more freely as you may have done in the past. In the atkins
recipes provided here, you can use fat such as butter and olive
oil in greater quantity than you may have in the past.
