 Re: Sweetener question | |
I see no one jumps on this thread, so I'll give it a try. I don't use splenda in general (I prefer stevia), so if I'm wrong someone can smack my hand. :P
Solid splenda has to be counted as 1g per serving because of the filters that are added to it. As far as I know, there are no filters in liquid splenda, so theoretically, it is a "free food". However, if I were you I would still stick to max. 3 servings per day.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
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!"
