Re: Sugar substitutes
I tried a coffee with splenda. One pack was about equal to the sugar I take.
It's not perfect, but i could get used to it.

Re: Sugar substitutes
Actually I need to revisit the whole sugar thing.
First, I need to get more Berberine. Then i need to look at my sweet intake. It's my one weakness and I know it is bad, I consume about 1/4 of the sweets i used to 2 years ago.. but i think i need to get rid of them altogether.
for me, the self control is in the shopping aisle, not at home.
My mother likes to have the odd treat. I think I am going to just get enough for her.
I am doing everything else right.. I should do this as well.

The best scenario is that they never leave the Supermarket Shelves..
Willpower and abstinence is really tested at 8 or 9pm when comfortable in front of the TV… it’s far harder to drive to the Supermarket then as opposed to walk to the pantry..
Re: Sugar substitutes
That is true, leave it on the shelves.
Re: Sugar substitutes
I hear ya. Having it in the house, even if for someone else is a huge temptation.
I usually reach for sweets when i feel stressed. I don't find crunching a carrot does me much good.
But in the last few weeks I have been running right before lunch. That usually sweeps the stress hormonal artifacts out of my blood stream and i have a feeling of contentment. Then the cravings are often gone for the day.

Re: Sugar substitutes
I have heard horror stories about aspartame,but only in an anecdotal sense.
I do know this, i know a lot of very large (obese people) who drink lots of diet coke with aspartame. So it must interact with insulin in a negative way just like sugar.
Sacharin also has a reputation as being carcinogenic.
For that reason I wouldn't use either as substitute.

Yes stay away from the diet sodas. They are poison! Drink good ole fashion H2O. Filtered of course!
