dark chocolate fucking sucks on its own, once you go past 60-70% dark and dont have anything with it to sweeten the taste (like caramel and salt that is often with "dark chocolate" sweets) you will fucking find it attrocious and gag.

If youre doing keto just stock up on a bunch of turkey and asparagus tbh. Dont try to fuck with low carb alternatives to sweets, youll just regret it.

He's right. That pure cacao shit tastes awful.

You can always try Stevia chocolate. It doesn't taste half bad.

It's what you deserve for buying into carbohydrate fear mongering. Eat your chocolate with sugar like a person without dietary autism. I stuff baking chocolate into dates (a very sugary fruit). Baking chocolate has the potential advantage of having only one ingredient: chocolate. The high stearic acid ratio of the cocoa butter in unprocessed chocolate will make you lose fat and water retention if the absolute amount of fat in the diet is low. Stearic acid opposes edema and estrogenic influences by making the lipid bilayers of cell membranes less permeable and by displacing linoleic acid on the cell membrane so it can leave the body sooner.

Nothing wrong with zero-calorie sweeteners if you care about the quality of your carbs. Sugar is empty calories so I'd rather get my simple carbs from milk, yogurt, and fruit even if it means raw cacao powder + stevia in my jew dust tastes a little less indulgent than cacao + honey crystals or whatever.

I eat 90% dark, it tastes fruity.

I just discovered Xylitol and I am fucking hyped. Tastes infinitely better than Stevia, with no aftertaste. I just used it, almond flour, and cocoa powder to make a chocolate microwave mug cake in two minutes. The whole thing was 5 carbs.

The trick is your body can't absorb Xylitol. So it tastes just like the sugar it is, but it doesn't count against your intake. And almond flour is basically meat.

Your body absorbs xylitol (and erythritol) just fine. You're thinking of sorbitol and maltitol. Xylitol has fewer calories than sugar, but it is still a source of calories/carbs, unlike most other sugar alcohols. If you want a zero calorie sweetener that won't make you shit yourself and actually tastes good get erythritol. Your body absorbs it, but it can't break it down so you just piss it out.

This is like saying that beef that isn't well done isn't edible. Fucking notaste faggots.
