Sugar consumption is being criticized. However, this is often done in a rather undifferentiated way. One thing is certain: our brains were only able to develop so complexly in evolution because it had a highly effective fuel available in the form of sugar broken down by cooking. Sugar is the purest of all energy suppliers and is useful for the body in many processes. With the wrong sugars, our blood vessels suffer and the brain is undersupplied with sugar. The resulting cravings force us to consume sugar and carbohydrates. The golden path to health, fitness and staying young is natural sugars that have little effect on blood sugar and insulin levels, such as galactose, trehalose and isomaltulose, as well as their combination with natural sugar substitutes such as erythritol and the plant-based sweetener stevia, which can also be bought in drugstores. They prevent us from falling into the trap of a misguided insulin metabolism. In this book, metabolism expert Dr. Johannes Coy expands the aspects of the low-carb diet to include the part of the correct sugar consumption.

For everyday use, the book offers a recipe section for cakes, sweet snacks and dishes that are ideally combined with low-carb.
