Queen Anne Chocolate Truffles: Sugar-Free/Diabetic
8 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, finely chopped
2/3 stick sweet butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup brewed coffee, or water
1 vanilla bean, split seeded and hull reserved
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
cup *****, ¥
1 " equal spoonful" sweetener
cups *****, ¥
1 " equal spoonful" sweetener, used as a dusting powder
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder


Put chocolate, butter, coffee or water, egg yolks and vanilla bean into a
microwave safe cooking dish. Mix slightly to moisten chocolate. Microwave
on 50% power for 3-minutes. Stir to dissolve lumps. Please note that
additional time may be used at 20-second intervals on 50 % power if
chocolate needs more time to melt. Stir in "Equal Spoonful" sweetener and
combine well. Spoon onto small pan lined with waxed paper. Spread evenly
and remove vanilla bean. Place in refrigerator until semi-firm. Save the
reserved vanilla bean hull for another recipe.

Prepare dusting powder by combining "Equal Spoonful" sweetener and cocoa
powder in a small bowl. When truffles are firm enough to hold shape, cut
into desired bite sized squares and mold into balls by hand. Roll each
truffle in dusting powder. Serve at room temperature. Refrigerate to
store.

Diet tips

If you enjoy eating, but want to become slim and improve your overall health, among other things you need to commence a carefully designed well-balanced meal plan. Theoretically, this should take in five standard portions of grains and vegetables a day and also contain the optimum mixture of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

In deciding on a meal plan, the important thing is to endeavour to cut back on your ingestion of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.

At the start of a diet, people most certainly concentrate on food store and well known food products claiming to be 'low in fat'. To do this is most certainly a miscalculation, given that a food might be low in fat, but also high in carbohydrates and calories.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Now and then during a busy work day, you have an idea that you want food when actually you might want a pure tumbler of water or juice. The feelings of being thirsty and being hungry are quite alike, but one of them leads to a fat tummy and one does not.

Rather than thinking about those types of food you really should remove from your diet, focus on the good foods that you might want to add to your weight loss program. If one can bring in some nutritious fruit/vegetables into your diet, you will be amazed to find that you feel full and have a far decreased chance of falling prey to those unwholesome mid-day chocolates.
