Default Re: uk splenda question

The number of servings of granular Splenda you can have is a bit confusing. Splenda Inc. defines 1 serving of granular Splenda as 1 teaspoon. So if you were to go by what they are saying, you are allowed 3 teaspoons per day.

In terms of carbs however, 1 packet of Splenda is equivalent to 2 teaspoons. In terms of sweetness, 1 packet of Splenda is 2 tsp of sugar, while granular Splenda can be replaced by sugar in 1:1 ratio. So 2 tsp of sugar are 1 individual packet of Splenda and 2 tsp of granular Splenda. In DANDR, Dr. Atkins wrote:

So what Dr. Atkins was referring to is 3 packets of Splenda per day. This is 6 teaspoons of granular Splenda, so 6 servings of granular Splenda as defined by Splenda Inc.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
