Splenda sweetened ice-cream (And it's good!)



Recommended Posts

I did a quick search to see if this had already been posted, my apologies if it has and I missed it...

Anyhoo, for those of you who have a Publix nearby, they have the best splenda sweetened ice-cream! It is their brand, and it comes in a variety of flavors. I asked my doctor if this would be acceptable as a treat every now and again and he said yes.

I love the chocolate. You cannot tell a difference, I swear!

You know what else is good from publix....the sugar free birthday cake! It is better than the real ones, and if you are an avid publix shopper, you know how good their cakes are. Now just to let you know, they are not lowfat, but they sure do taste awsome if you don't mind trading the sugar for fat. Coupled with the splenda ice cream and wow do you got one good sugar free party! Oh, just a warning, don't over do it on a giant slice of this cake, cuz it is sweetened with malitol and/or sorbitol which in essense is a laxitive. And if you eat a big slice you will be on the toilet in a matter of minutes!

Oh man do I know the woes of Splenda!

I was so excited when it came out. Although the taste doesn't bother me, ANYTHING with the sugar alcohols in it make me so sick SO fast!

I envy those of you who can tolerate it.

I am an aspartame girl/addict really. I have also started putting Stevia in hot tea.

I wish Iliked splenda people who cook and bake with it all rave.

There are two chefs on the food channels who have gone lo carb and their recipes make me drool.

Oh that stinks!

I have been loving Splenda since it came out. I make my sweet tea with it and use it as much as I can.

Gives me gas, but not a laxative for me. Actually, it's malitol that the worst in the gas department. I have to sleep in the other bedroom if I eat much of that stuff!

We're heading to Georgia in two weeks to visit son in college (Augusta). I know there is a Publix near him, so we will check it out! There aren't any around here.

No splenda isn't made with those nasty alcohols.

I really have to watch what is in some stuff -because the alcohols - especially sorbitol causes me such trouble.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
