Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Good Morning, I have held back and just read all the messages, I would like to tell you I have had no sugar for years. I use " Stevia " it is a natural plant. no chemicals It has to be bought at a health food store or on line. I have a measuring spoon that says " smidgin " and one of those sweetens my 2 cup coffee cup of coffee in the morning. It only takes a very small amount when my bottle gets low I can buy it bulk at the health food store. 1/2 cup of stevia will last a very long time. and completly chemical free. Thanks to everyone for the really good hints and recipes. I still have 60 pounds to lose, it is going very slow for me.I am a 67 year old widow and have no one to worry about but myself when it comes to cooking. I will stay another week on phase 1, today would be the last day but the weight has not come off yet. Have a Great Day Everyone. Marie-Tx.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I totally hate stevia. It is like......sawdust or something. Or tiny shreds of cloth. It doesn't dissolve well and just really ruins a cup of tea or cereal. The taste is sort of bitter too. Splenda is the best I've ever had. sugar substitute Good Morning, I have held back and just read all the messages, I would like to tell you I have had no sugar for years.
