K_aane 356 Posted March 11, 2017 Am I the only one who absolutely can't stand the taste of that fake sugar? Have tried it again and again and just can't make myself like it or any products I taste with that stuff in it.Try Stevia. It is better than Splenda and it's natural. I can't stand Splenda..it's,a chemical and it's nasty. 1 Em_JW reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno, can I trust a public bathroom destroyer? I kid.. I'll give it a try, I actually saw it in a certain area of the store with a number of other substitutes. I think it was the baking aisle of all things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are great and you will find them an immense help in looking at food differently. HUNGRY FOR CHANGE & food MATTERS. I promise you will enjoy them. Watch Hungry for Change first.

TracyBar 132 Posted March 18, 2017 Anejo for Mexican food in Calgary - they make the guacamole right at your table and it's absolutely the best! That'll be my treat once in a while after my surgery :-) As you probably gathered, I'm in Calgary too. My VSG won't be for another 8-11 months... 1 shan0520 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got used to it after a few months and now I use it in anything I would have used sugar in. Some things I have just gotten used to eating unsweetned, ice tea is one.

I can sympathize with you. I had two months of that thinking. I was not kind to January and February, let me tell you. But I've been doing my low carb for two and a half weeks and lost fifteen pounds...then those delicious little squares happened to me. I'm ashamed. But, tomorrow's a new day and I'll get back on track. I think my calories and carbs have been way too low anyway, so this may not have been such a bad thing. It's good to confuse the body every now and then..keep it guessing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
