[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 150347, member: 1991"] I'm still using artificial sweeteners - I use Splenda in my iced coffee. What I've found with sweeteners - they actually help me wean off sugar. After substituting sweeteners for sugar, if I go back to having sugar I find it tastes too sweet so I use less. So then I use less sweetener, and next time I'm caught without sweeteners, I have less sugar again, and so on. Since going on this diet I've not dared use any sugar if I'm caught without Splenda. I accidentally used too much Splenda in my iced coffee a few days ago, and so I'm cutting back on it and finding I'm still enjoying my coffee. The iced coffee I'm drinking is Greek-style (frappe) - mostly water, with very strong coffee and a splash only of skim milk. I shake it all up and it froths (just from the coffee) and I drink it with a straw. I make about 500 ml at a time, because it's decaf coffee and mostly water, it keeps my fluid intake up. difficult child 3 is permitted to drink cola, but only decaf. The only one we have available is artificially sweetened. He NEEDS the calories, but can only drink the lo-cal stuff because that's all there is. He doesn't seem to have any problems - certainly doesn't seem to have sugar cravings. Marg [/QUOTE]
