| I really think everyone needs to find the sweeteners that work for her. I get a cephalic response from Splenda, aspartame (this also stalls me or makes me retain water... I was never interested to test it long enough to figure it out exactly Lately I didn't have any sweeteners. Last time I had something artificially sweetened was almost half a year ago. I really can't say I miss them... If I want something sweet I eat things like red/yellow peppers, cherry tomatoes, roasted zucchini (I find the yellow one sweeter) or berries. Anyway, stevia may have carbs depending which brand you use. For example SweetLeaf has none, but Truvia and PureVia do (from sugar alcohols, so they claim we can "ignore" them). But even these stevia sweeteners would be restricted to 3 servings per day, regardless of the carbs in them.

| Thank you for the reply on Stevia, I think I will try switching from Splenda and see if it makes any difference. I only use it occasionally anyway, but I do like a little sweetness in my tea.

| Good that you mentioned tea, because I forgot to add something in my previous post. When I deal with cravings because of my TOM, I often make cinnamon tea. It's sweet enough that it doesn't need any sweetener added to it. Megs posted the recipe a while ago. I'll go search for it and give you the link... Be right back. --- Here it is: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...lly-sweet.html (Cinnamon Tea: Naturally SWEET!)

| My nutritionist/chiropractor restricts the use of any artificial sweetner, except Stevia!! |

| He said the others have too many toxins. Equal and Splenda have been linked to Multiple Sclerosis. Noticed there are more people diagnosed with that lately? I have. The biggest culprit is diet sodas!! |

| Most diet sodas are sweetened with aspartame (Equal under a different name) not Splenda. Diet Rite is one of the only brands I've seen that is sweetened with Splenda. I agree with Georgia about Stevia and the counts...we are allowed 3 sweeteners a day - I use the Sweetleaf occassionally and even though it has no carb count I do count it toward my daily total. Audrey what I've been doing is I fill my cup with decaf in the morning and add a litle cream and 1 packet of Splenda...any additional coffee I have during the day I only have cream in it - the first couple days I didn't care for my after dinner cup because it wasn't "sweet" but now that I've been doing it for a few days I found myself having my 1st cup of the day with only cream in it...no Splenda. I tried adding the Sweetleaf to my after dinner cup but decided I still don't care for the taste of it so I didn't do it again.

| I have been getting used to the taste of stevia (sweetleaf). I think with the cream and 1/2 packet, I will be able to start eliminating it completely. Yesterday I had my 2 eggs with bacon for breakfast, for lunch I had a 2 cups Ceasar Salad with 3 oz steak, I kept 1/2 of the salad and steak for dinner and whipped up 2 scrabbled eggs with 1 oz cheese and 2 pieces of bacon. I felt I did not have enough carb for the day. I had stored some strawberries in the freezer and had abour 6-8 with cream. My sugar was at 90. I feel I should be going up the rung even though I am not moving the scale. I do see a difference in my measurements. I also look thinner. When does that scale move? This stall is getting me down. My fitday is always within the percentages and I am in moderate ketosis each night.
