Re: Need some Maintenance Friends
I love cyclamates, It's my main sweetener, I prefer it in my coffee as well (i just find splenda too sweet). Up here Sugar twin is made from cyclamates and comes in package, bulk, liquid (carb free) and brown. the other great thing is it's far cheaper than splenda, you can get a box of 100 packets for a couple of dollars, where Splenda is 6 or $7. Like heidi, I like a 1:1 splenda/sugar twin mix for baking.
The liquid is great for baking because it can really bring the carb count down depending on how much sweetener is .
If you have friends going over the border i'd recommend asking them to pick you up a box of packets and some liquid to try. Some grocery stores generic brands are cheaper and are cyclamates too (you need to check the box though to make sure they're not aspartame).
And you guys get saccharine there and that's not sold here, i don't think anyway. funny how the food adminstrations in two countries can have different opinions of whats 'safe' . I ordered a coffee at dunkin donuts when in the states and they put saccarine in it. I thought i was gonna barf.

Becca, it's so nice to meet you! I'm so glad to see some maintenance activity!
Heidi, thanks so much for being here!!! You are a very special lady.
What do you think of cyclametes? I take it you get them in Canada? I'm looking in to some sweetener synergy again and am wondering if they are worth the trouble to get some to me? We are in MN, so we've got friends crossing the border frequently.
I've been around a bit, not as much in here as I'm still where I was when I started this thread. Which is FINE, I'm in no hurry
I'm finding new thin places all the time too, shoe size changed, bone in wrist, need a belt on some pants, that kind of thing.
In a bit of an energy funk actually, and hope some fun summer stuff will pick me up soon here. Talk to you all
Hugs
Denise

it is so stupid they are not sold in the US!
makes me wish I could live someplace with a perpetual summer ...but I can not imagine living anywhere but in this beautiful state so I need to not complain!!
(well ok you can overeat anything I guess) ...I do not limit them if they are not starchy I eat all I want to! I eat usually 9 servings a day of veggies!!!! I do stop when I am content ..but I eat a lot of them!!!
. I had stopped running but started up again in the spring..I'm now running 2.5/3 miles 4x a week, trying to go a bit farther every week..Staying under 35g's carbs..counting calories etc. Not sure what my problem is...
