This is my first time using Atkins. I must first say that the first three days were AWFUL. I really craved sugar! I stumbled on your site just as I was running out of ideas and sick of the same old food - THANKS! I found a recipe on another site, sheilas sugar free for mock pumpking cheesecake. I totaled the carbs by lable and it turned out quite high, but I was careful what I ate that day and used many of my allotted 20 carbs on this "treat". I made the treat and tasted it...not bad. As I was spooning my third mouthful in I noticed with alarm that Splenda has a small spot on this bag that indicates this is a 1/2 splenda mix and 1/2 SUGAR mix! I was so upset. I was in small ketosis by checking the strips, had just beating the horrible carb cravings and now I screwed it up! AND the bag was over $7 bucks! Be careful when buying or using splenda - don't make my mistake. What will this do to my ketosis?
