If you're a health practitioner, nutritionist or dietician, as you know, sugar can often prove the undoing of many a healthy eating plan. With diabetes on the increase and obesity reaching alarming levels in the UK, firm action needs to be taken.
When trying to manage weight and control sugar in your diet, healthy eating can sometimes be a chore. Which is why low calorie sweeteners, such as Canderel, can help provide the answer.
Good news for those who need to watch their weight
Replacing sugar with a low-calorie sweetener can prove extremely useful in helping your patients maintain a healthy weight. Sweeteners contain very few calories and because they are very sweet, only a tiny amount provides the same sweetness as sugar.
Low calorie sweeteners, such as Canderel, are available in tablet and granulated forms, making them a highly versatile alternative to sugar. They can be used in cooking, baking, sprinkled on cereals, desserts and fruit, as well as in hot drinks. Canderel has less than a third of a calorie per tablet and less than two calories per teaspoon, whereas a teaspoon of sugar contains 20 calories.
Good news for diabetics
Sweeteners such as Canderel are not only low calorie, but because of the tiny amount needed, they don't affect blood glucose levels. This means that they're a great help for diabetics.
Canderel is the UK's favourite sweetener. Its delicious taste means the only thing your patients lose out on is the calories!
