Re: diet soda

it's said best by quoting this

if you look in your DANDR chapter 11 and 18 the rules of induction say we should limit our servings of artificial sweetners to 3 servings a day. this rule is never countermanded anywhere in DANDR for any other phase saying we can increase our swetener limits. Sweetners counts are different from carb counts you have to count the carbs from everything that goes in your mouth veggies cheese eggs some seafoods processed meats, herbs spices even drinks and condiments. if you chew gum you count it in both the carb count and the sweetner count. the sweetner servings are based on manufacturers serving size so a 12 ounce can of soda is 1.5 servings.

if you have both whipped cream and jello then you have 2 sweetened products so you got 2 of your 3 servings. ................

Re: diet soda

I am so glad i came along this message. I have been on induction for two weeks and then the last three weeks still doing induction, i have come to a standstill and actually put on a kilo. I have been doing it perfectly except for diet sodas.I was under the impression if it didnt have carbs then it was ok and i have been having about two sodas a day and chewing gum with artificial sweetner and a diet jelly in the evening...I couldnt work out why the weight stall, so thank you so much for this topic and forum.I didnt want to give this diet up but was getting so frustrated. thanks again..more water and an occasional soda for me. ....jacqui

Re: diet soda

Thanks for posting that Jimmie

I forgot to come back to this thread but I finally found the bit that talks about 3 servings of splenda in chapter 18 (the section
titled 'Go!' )

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.)

Re: diet soda

Elizellen - thanks for looking that up. It also says it on the very last page of Ch 11 And away you go: the induction phase.

There is a list of TIPS - the first of which reads:
Limit sweeteners to three packets a day.
