Swerve
Hey guys! I have been using the sugar substitute Swerve in my recipes and I understand that the carbs are coming from the sugar alcohol Erythritol and isn’t absorbed into the body. My question is... when I input recipes with swerve in it, it counts against my total carbs. How do I input it without it going against my total carbs? Hope this makes sense! :)

I have found Erythrotol is the bomb on sweetners. I tell you what, I don’t have that stevia after taste, and after watching keto connect and their vid on YouTube about testing blood ketones and blood sugars, this is the sweetner for me! Tastes slightly less sweeter than real sugar, no weird after taste. I will not buy anything else. Now I must try to find a liquid form to whip up in my heavy cream!

Even though swerve is touted as the zero calorie zero carb sugar, in truth it is not. If you go to Swerve web site you will in fact find that it does contain calories. I believe those calories are around 44 calories per cup, I'm not sure I can't remember off the top of my head. The website does state that there is less than 5 calories per serving. Which is why it can be called zero calorie. But when you're serving is one teaspoon, that's kind of deceiving
