Artificial sweeteners

Are any ok and how much?

I like Stevia, myself, in the liquid form, is there a number of drops recommended for daily usage during Induction?

Re: Artificial sweeteners

Dr Atkins does give us a limit for granulated Splenda

13. You may use up to three packets of sucralose (Splenda®) daily. (More and more products are being made with Splenda® so if you use any, include those grams in your tally also.)

and here we tend to follow that rule for all kinds of sweetener - so up to three servings of whatever kind you use per day. Of course the liquid sweeteners dont have a carb count as far as I know, so you wouldnt necessarily need to add the carb per serving that we have to do for splenda.

Re: Artificial sweeteners

Thank you for the information. I guess Stevia has no carbs at least not in small amounts. Some doctors suggest it as a supplement rather than a sweetener so I am curious to know how much does not cause a reaction at the Induction phase.

I was just wondering is that a covered motorcycle behind you, Ellizellen? BTW, I wrote another post but it didn't get on the forum so far.

Re: Artificial sweeteners

I think the reason it is suggested as a 'supplement' is that at least in UK (and maybe in Canda too) is that it is not recognised or legalised as being a sweetener! In fact in UK you can only buy it at health food shops!

No I am not standing by a m/bike in that photo in spite of wearing leathers - I do own one though, a classic Velocette Vogue which is in the garage awaiting my husband being fit enough after his back surgery to get out there and finish the rewiring he started a year ago. Once that is up and running I can return to being a 'biker babe'.
