Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I'm definately noticing that Vie -- and I was SUCH a sugar addict. I'm even finding that one packet of Splenda in my morning coffee makes it just toooo sweet. I'm even finding that almonds taste very sweet to me. I ate an orange last night and it was so delicious -- and usually I find them kind of tart-tasting. This diet is wonderful and really shows us how addicted we were to that "sweet" taste.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 · >With all this talk of sugar-free products I thought I'd share my experience so far. I decided to just stay away from anything sweet as much as possible, so I wouldn't end up craving sweet stuff Thanks for bringing this up. I’ve been wondering about this lately. I’m having cravings (and giving in to them unfortunately) and trying to do phase 1 to get back on track. However, I’ve been thinking that just getting the un-natural sweet taste from sugar subs is part of what’s sabotaging me. Maybe I’ll throw out the sugar free chocolate and start Phase 1 again without the sugar subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, for now... having that 'No Sugar Added' fudgsicle at the end of the day, or the sugar free popsicle, is what helps my day to feel complete. Since I was a little girl, I had a sweet treat at the end of the day. My day does not feel complete without it. Now, perhaps one day, I can replace that with an orange or something. But, if having 1 fudgsicle helps me to stick with my new way of eating... I will continue to eat it. FOr me, if I didn't have a sugar sub product at all, this would be so much more difficult and I'd be more likely to quit. And, I have not found that having the fudgsicle at the end of the day makes me crave sweets continually during the day. I just look forward to my nighttime treat! Just my own thoughts, and what helps me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
