I have noticed my sweet cravings have been curbed since I have used SweetLeaf Sweetener Stevia.

Hum.........I always thought that splenda was exceptable. I just went shopping and brought lots of jell-o with splenda ugh!

But, everyone is right the cravings will go away.....usually during the first week.

Good Luck!

Splenda is acceptable. You are allowed three servings of sweetener a day. This does not mean every one can have it. I avoid sweeteners on induction as a personal choice. I think that makes it easier for me to do induction and it may make it easier for me to lose.

So what brand of jello did you get? All the jello here has aspartame in it.

I purchased the Jell-o Brand of jello from Wal-mart.

Yippie I can have splenda. Now, I just need to remember that I can only have three severings. However, this should be easy since I am only eating jello once a day.

I am glad you have found a splenda sweetened brand for occasional use!

Remember, Dr Atkins did not suggest we have this every day.

If you look in Chapter 18 of DANDR at his suggested week of menus he only lists a dessert of any kind 3 times, on Monday & Thursday

Gelatin dessert made with sucralose topped with whipped cream

and on Saturday

Almond Cream
