Diet Coke sweetened w/splenda???

[MontanaRebel]

Foxy I am sure we will have the diet coke with splenda soon...we are in the middle of nowhere Montana and things take longer sometimes. lol

Thanks so much for the offer! Very nice of you...

I think we have diet rite but think I will stick to the water through Induction anyways....Johnny :guns

Caffiene can lower your blood sugar and that can make you crave any type of food, not just sugary or carby ones.

Non-caffienated diet sodas are okay. BUT they do not count towards your daily water intake and 1 serving of it counts towards 1 of your 3 artificial sweetener allotments.

There's always some confusion about the artificial sweetener allotments, because some folks think it's just Splenda or splenda sweetened products that are limited to 3 daily. Not so, anything artificially sweetened (Splenda, saccharin, aspartame, Ace-K, the sugar alcohols, stevia) all count towards that daily 3.

So if you eat 2 sugar alcohol sweetened mints, use 1 packet of Splenda in your tea, drink 2 cans of diet soda, you're over the daily 3 limit.

I hope that helps everyone.

Not a problem!! I haven't even heard of diet coke with splenda. I wonder if it will catch on over here!!

Having a bad day today, realised that the snacks i have eaten over the past 5 days have mostly been no go areas! :anger :sadblinky

Am going to percevere though (if that's how you spell it!!). Had some inspiration of a couple of friends and colleagues so am feeling positive now! Start a-fresh tomorrow and see what happens!!! :dancingb:

I also tried the diet coke with splenda. Yuck! Just did not compare to the real diet coke for me.

Ok I am going to have defend my drink here!!! :sadblinky I myself HATE the taste of ANY diet drink and I am very cautious NOT to drink or eat anything with Aspertame in it. :no BUT I figured when they came out with the Splenda flavored I should switch from Regular Dr Pepper to something that wont have such an effect on me weightweiss. :icondance
It does have a wierd first taste but after you bear it (just like diet sodas) you get use to it and I am actually addicted to it now. I pray to God that Coca Cola doesn't pull this from the market!!!! :yikes [/quote]

I didn't like it at first either, but I never like ANY diet soda besides good old diet coke. Once I got used to it, I liked it. I think of it as a different flavor altogether though.

So, what's worse? Diet coke with splenda & caffeine, or caffeine free diet coke with aspartame?

:smackhead For some unknown reason I thought it did...boy do I feel dumb..oh well I still think an occasional one won't hurt. I don't want the caffeine withdrawel headaches. Plus I got 3 boys so yes i do need some caffeine, Thanks for your replys :wave

I had a 12 pack a day dr pepper habit. Well, I made it throught the 3 day headache phase and I have so much more energy. I have 4 girls.
11, 9, 7 and 6 months. They keep me moving. I have so much more energy now and I don't crave the pop anymore. I got addicted to water if that is possible. If I want something with a taste in it i drink Crystal Light. It can be done. I never thought I could do it but I did.
