Typically, one tsp of coconut sugar contains 4 grams of carbohydrates.

Most honey's contain 17 grams of carbohydrates per tsp or more.

You can't cut off all carbs on the Candida diet, or any other diet. Doing so reduces immune function because the red and white blood cells require some carbs to function correctly. We recommend 50 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per day to maintain immune function.

The coconut sugar leaves you room to consume other foods that contains some carbs, the honey does not.

Other good sugar replacements are Stevia and erythritol.

Any other questions let us know.
