First, I have some experience with keto or low carb diets. In 2021 I lost 30 pounds on this diet and am back on it now. I've lost 20 pounds since Christmas Day.
I posted here last month looking for a low sugar ham glaze. Instead, I gave up and used Kosmos Cherry Apple Habanero rib glaze that has 25 g of carbs per 2 TBS . We've been eating on the ham for the past 3 weeks and both me and my wife continue to lose weight. Has no noticeable effect.
I also smoked some whole spare ribs. I seasoned with S/P but sauced with Franklin original , 8 g of carbs per 2 TBS. I also used the sauce when I ate those ribs while my wife was gone on a quilting retreat and I lost 2 pounds that week. The carbs in the sauce had no noticeable effect.
Two years ago, I used rubs with sugar and we came to the conclusion that there's not enough carbs from the sugar to impact our diet.
So the conclusion from my wife and I is not to worry about carbs in rubs/sauces/glazes. We don't see a need for sugar free. But that's just us. And there's other factors, like we've been skipping breakfast trying intermittent fasting. Past two weeks I've also gotten back on my bicycle.
