Are you concerned about your weight, but still want your candy?

Sugar Candy or hard candy is a favorite of all small children as well as many grown ups. We like to call these loyal lifetime candy connoisseurs, the "Mob". Let me tell you that hard candy is so universally popular, that you would be hard pressed to find one Mob member who doesn't enjoy at least one flavor or type.

Sugar Candy, also known as "hard candy" in all its tens of thousands or more yummy forms is made by simply taking a thick solution of sugar water and adding tasty and attractive colors or flavors. Many countries outside the United States turn them into what are known as "ice pop candies" by freezing them. The United States hasn't caught up with this trend yet and that is very unfortunate!

The actual widely used term "candy" covers a wide term which includes chocolates, toffees, chocolate based candy bars, chewing gums, liquorice and anything else that you can think of which tastes good and sweet. Many people traditionally refer to candy as confectionery or sweets.

Not that we mob members care about any of that. We love the way it tastes and we all have our favorites and we all try not to feel so guilty for loving it so much.

So I won't lead you astray. There are plenty of ways to enjoy your sweet treats without the guilt. Hard as it is to believe, all sweets are different and should not be looked at as the same diet destroying food. I and many other mob members are health conscious.

A lollipop is referred to as a sugar candy with a stick. As compared to a rich milk chocolate candy bar, a sugar free or low-sugar lollipop or hard candy is much sounder choice if you are trying to maintain a certain weight.

One big reason for this is that you eat overall less food with a little hard candy, but your sweet tooth is more than satisfied. The old stand by Dum Dum little lollipop has experienced steady sales for decades. Products like the Dum Dum or any of it's thousands of cousins can be altered during the creation process to diminish sugar while still maintaining similar taste. Standing alone a lollipop may have a lot of sugar, but it's overall calorie load is limited to it's size. You heard it here: hard candy is a diet tool. Try using it for desert in place of doughy cakes, cookies or pie and fattening ice cream. You will get results that will shock you. As always, let me know what happens!
