Sweetener

[lannerjarv]

has anyone else had any issues with too much sweetener?

sitting here vegging out thinking about what i ate today, and realized i had way more sweetener than usual.

i generally have 1 pkg in my eggnog shake, 1 pkg in my coffee and then 1 in a flax muffin if i make one when i get home.

today i had 6 :-( NOT a normal day thats for sure.

i almost want to try and get myself to eliminate them completely.. but the eggnog shakes are the only breaky i have ever been able to eat on a consistent basis.

Re: Sweetener

You can make the flax muffin without the sweetener.

Re: Sweetener

Good point, J, I never add sweetener to my flax muffin recipe. In fact the last one I made I added an ounce of shredded parmesan cheese to and had half of it with butter for breakfast!

Re: Sweetener

hmm.
i will try it without sweetener then.
thank you

btw.. i should probably not have one every day correct? it's been helping with making my system "work" properly so-to-speak.

Re: Sweetener

You "can" have one every day.

I normally have baked flax muffins and when I have them around I eat one a day.

A lot depends on your system ... if they're "working" for you, then fine.

Re: Sweetener

i quite like them, they agree with me and help me get in a bit of extra fibre.

plus they enable me to eat a smaller dinner!

Can you post the recipe to that eggnog shake? I'm very curious about it...
