FYI- its not only sugar if you are missing rolls, cookies and pie as these take in white flour also.
Have you tired any dark 85% chocolate yet? 
There are recipes for making your own sweets in the kitchen

I don't miss potatoes, corn chips, high-carb veggies, legumes, potatoe chips, pizza, or even bread all that much.

These were my drug of choice.  I'll have a bite once in a while.

They say that after a certain amount of time eating low-carb, you lose your desire for sweets. I don't think that will ever happen for me.

IMO, it doesn't have to happen...it just needs to be modified and kept low sugar.

So I'll head over to the recipe section for sweet things first, which I assume will involve artificial sweeteners. Thus far, I even get excited about eating a Metamucil fiber wafer which is artificially flavored.

If AS don't effect you, good! Many here have issues using them, I don't. 
We each need to find what works best for our individual bodies. It truly is a YMMV kind of thing. There are sweetners like Stevia, which come from a plant. I don't like it as I find it way too sweet.
Have fun in the kitchen!!  |
