LOW CARB MUFFINS

These Low Carb Muffins have become a staple in our house. I have reached the point that I must reduce the amount of carbs in my life. Hard to do for this self-proclaimed carbaholic! I never realized that sugar was so evil and that fat was not the cause of unwanted weight gain.

The most interesting thing I have found is that if I eat a muffin for breakfast I feel full and not hungry for three hours or so until lunch. If I eat cereal for breakfast I am feeling hungry in about an hour and a half. Finally, the blood sugar dropping thing the experts talk about makes sense – I feel the difference in my body.
