Truvia?

Does truvia effect the carb intake or is it simply a natural sugar? Will it effect the ketosis?

Re: Truvia?

Truvia is stevia that has been altered in a lab. It has 3g carbs per packet, but it's from erythritol, a sugar alcohol.


There are varying opinions on the taste. Stevia can be bitter. The new stuff, Truvia, has a process that takes the bitterness out of stevia by combining Stevia and erythritol together.

It has been known to cause cravings which means it effects blood sugar and 'can' be treated as real carbs by your body.
