I just got her dessert cookbook, and the recipes look fantastic. There is no carb count that I've seen though. Anyone have experience with this?

What kind of "experience" are you looking for?

Hi ~ Suzanne doesn't list any of the carb counts, etc. because we don't count anything. I've been SSing for 10 months and I'm not sure if this will help you or not (because I don't know about carb counts) but her Level 1 desserts would be the lowest carb. The "almost Level 1" desserts are labeled that because of the caffeine in the chocolate, which we're not allowed to have on level 1 until we're losing steadily. Level 2 desserts are to eat once you've reached your goal. Hope this helps. *Ü*

Jellen,

I use somersizing as well as Atkins and "The Diet Cure" amino acids. It is my understanding that Somersizers are not so much concerned with the amount of carbs but the type of carbs. For example, in a recipe you might use whole wheat flour instead of processed flour. Whole wheat flour contains complex carbs which are broken down more slowly and cause less of a sugar spike. White processed flour is converted more quickly causing a larger spike. Hope this helps.
