Re: Soda W/Splenda???

Hi Gina6908! You are correct. Ideally we would be better off if we did not use any artificial sweeteners. Dr. Atkins allowed for 3 sweeteners per day. He said Splenda (sucralose) was fine because of the low impact on blood sugar, but he said no to aspartame.

Some people get cravings or stall if they consume artificial sweetners. If you don't get cravings and you are still losing then it will probably be ok for you.

Wishing you much success...

Just make sure you check the can/bottle on exactly what the serving size it. Don't forget to count the Splenda carb. As clogger pointed out we are allowed 3 per day.

Hi nu-me33! Diet Rite is made with Splenda. They have cola, white grape, red raspberry, tangerine, and more flavors. I don't know of any other brand that is made with Splenda.

Re: Soda W/Splenda???

I just posted a question asking if Diet Rite was okay during induction...but now that we're talking about Splenda Carb Counting....Does anyone know how many Splenda Carbs would be in 1 can per say? or 1 cup? (of Diet Rite...or any splenda soda)

Thanks!

I've lost 17lbs thus far. Can you consume Nestea Diet Iced Tea while on Atkins. I feel a little weird with it. My stomach felt like it was turning.

Re: Soda W/Splenda???

You *can* consume it - I do at times, but it does have aspartame in it.

Also, I believe Pepsi One is actually the splenda version, no?

Re: Soda W/Splenda???

Yep, Pepsi One is with splenda... and so is Diet Coke.

I have no idea about Nestea Diet, but you could make your own tea, add whatever sweetener you want (I usually do it with splenda... I tried stevia, but it doesn't dissolve properly and it becomes less sweet when it cools) and put it in the fridge for a few hours. It's cheaper and at least you know it's legal.

Re: Soda W/Splenda???

All of the diet versions of Hansen's sodas use Splenda as the sweetener. If you have a Trader Joe's near you they carry them regularly. (I'm partial to the Black Cherry - which for some reason tastes better when it isn't quite so cold - and the Root Beer.)

Cheers!

Re: Soda W/Splenda???

I use the liquid, flavored stevia drops to make my own soda. You can do it with sparkling water, club soda, or seltzer. I love the lemon drop, vanilla creme, root beer, and grape flavors. I've also tried zevia soda which is sweetened with stevia and it's pretty good, I especially like the root beer. I like the taste of the ones I make at home better, but the zevia is good when I'm on the run. Once I got used to making my own, the hansens tastes like sugar syrup to me! LOL
