Sugar Free

I think, including my friends, that QVC should sell sugar free cookies, cakes, and other goodies. It would be great for our health and for diabetics!

Many sugar free products are a disaster on the digestive system. Did you know that?

I remember they used to see Asher chocolates in sugar free.

Ifmyoumare looking for low carb or diabetic friendly it is a different subject and may not be easy to clear. I buy sugar free from special providers, but in many cases they make small batches which might be difficult for the size of the QVC audience. Would love to see it but I've been buying and baking sugarfree for 30 years and 'it ain't easy'.

QVC isn't going to sell anything that won't be purchased in largev quanity to make a nice profit. Apparently they've determined that selling sugar-free items is not cost effective.

There are many items people occasionally say they'd like to see sold, in the same category.

@No sugar - Welcome to the forums! QVC does offer sugar free items and other food options catering to those with special diets; there won't ever be as many as there are standard items, but they're there if you look for them. And keep an eye out as we get closer to the beginning of the year—that's when all the low-sugar, low-calorie (etc.) items will be promoted because so many people start diets in the new year. If enough people buy them, perhaps they'll bring in even more as the year goes on.

Sugar free candy, cakes, cookies, etc, only become a problem when consumed in mass/large quantities. Those using them need to practice impulse control.

There was a period of time in my weight loss journey that I would use products that were 'sugar free', 'keto friendly', and kept injesting less and less as time passed.

For me, I am an abstainer...I learned that I have to be. By doing so, all of my carb/sugar cravings are gone. When I would test the waters and have only 1 piece of candy (Lily's chocolate for example), the cravings would come back immediately.

To me, having peace of mind from cravings has so much more value than any sugar/carb treat that would be only seconds to enjoy while eating. I don't ever want to go back. Even though a product is 'sugar-free', the sweetness still ignites the dopamine in the brain - cravings (for most).

In the middle of our lifestyle change/journey, DH and I would share a Lily's chocolate bar once a month. It served the purpose at the time to bridge as I eliminated foods, but the cravings still drove me nuts. Additionally, by checking my blood sugar after that single small piece of candy, it was shocking. I have to stay away from it all totally.

My body became broken - very insulin resistant. DH can injest a few more carbs than me, but not that many. I never had an issue with sugars/carbs and maintained 'normal' weight until I hit my 40's...then I blew up like a balloon.

Some folks can moderate without a problem.

So the only candy I can recommend is Lily's sugar-free chocolate. We used to get the variety 12 pk of the candy bars for a few years through Amazon.

Since DH and I would share 1 bar a month (about 4 yrs ago now), a 12-pk would last us 1 year!
