What makes chocolate compatible with ketogenic, diabetic, and vegan diets?

Dr. Beata Lerman shares her journey as a cancer survivor seeking a diet that avoids feeding cancer cells. She describes developing Sinless Treats chocolate after not finding sugar-free and additive-free options. 

Testing with continuous glucose monitors showed her chocolates didn't spike blood sugar in keto, diabetic, or healthy individuals. She details replacing traditional milk with organic grass-fed cream to lower carbohydrates and explains why plant-based milks like oat milk may raise blood sugar. All dark chocolates are vegan, and products cater to multiple dietary needs.

Key Takeaways

1. Dr. Beata Lerman shares her personal health journey, including her battle with lymphoma, which led her to adopt a strict ketogenic, sugar-free lifestyle. This prompted her to invent her own healthy chocolate to meet dietary needs unmet by products on the market—laying the foundation for Sinless Treats.

2. The formulation of Sinless Treats chocolate is guided by scientific principles: it’s sugar-free and low-carb to prevent blood sugar spikes. Dr. Lerman recounts her own experiments and third-party lab testing, showing that even large amounts of her chocolate do not impact ketosis or blood sugar, making it suitable for people on ketogenic diets and diabetics.

3. Real-world feedback, including stories from diabetics and people using continuous glucose monitors, confirm that Sinless Treats chocolate can lower or stabilize blood sugar rather than cause spikes. This makes it a unique and safe option for those managing diabetes or metabolic dysfunctions.

4. The company caters not only to keto and diabetic communities, but also to vegans, offering dairy-free dark chocolate. Dr. Lerman educates listeners about why plant-based milk alternatives like oat milk can still spike blood sugar, emphasizing their commitment to honest, health-based ingredients.

5. Dr. Lerman cautions against trusting products heavily marketed as “keto,” especially processed foods, stating that real ketogenic diets are based on whole, unprocessed foods. She urges listeners to be mindful of ingredient quality, focusing on metabolic health over marketing claims.
