Too much sugar substitutes?

It seems everything I have been drinking has Splenda or some other sugar substitue in it.  The milk based shakes are bothering too much.  But I have either burned out my taste buds or something with the ISOPURE drinks and crystal light powders.  I'm having a hard time making myself sip it.  I feel like my throat is saying "NO NO No more".  I feel like my body is saying it cant tolerate any more of it.

Anyone else feeling like this?

I'm starting to get pretty tired of sweet stuff.  I'm not sure if it's the sweetener or not.  I used to chug down Crystal Light and it's hard getting used to sipping it and really tasting it.

OMG, I thought it was just me sick of sweet! I'm totally craving salt!  Regular water kinda hurts going down, so I found something wonderful!!!!  Sonic raspberry unsweet tea!

I asked the people for their nutrition guide and it's no caffeine and like 1 carb but no sugar at all!!  I didn't add sweetner so it was kinda tart but the difference in taste was awesome!

I was never really big on sweets.  I always preferred the savory.  I used to drink plain unsweet tea without any kind of sweetener in it.

I love broth and cream soups are ok.  The cream soups are easy to hide unflavored protein powder in--it's just not as convenient for me as mixing up a protein shake or grabbing a pre-made Atkins shake.

chicken or beef broth is a liquid.  Unjury has a chicken broth that is terrific and has 21 grams of protein.

I just tried the unjury chicken powder.  I mixed it with chicken broth instead of water.  It was pretty good.  I've also tried heating up tomato juice with 1/3c dry nonfat milk powder.  I have definitely been leaning more towards these the last few days.

I haven't tried any decaf teas.  I think I'll look for some today.  Thanks for the Sonic tip.  However, there is no Sonics in Vermont.

Thank you for your responses.  It's nice to know that we are not alone in this.

I agree, too much sweet and I start to crave savory.  Earl Grey Tea is good for that, I mix it 1/2 water and 1/2 steamed milk so it has some semblance of protein.  Green tea is also good for that non sweet, almost bitter taste.

My program doesn't allow me to have caffine to at least two months.  So no coffee or tea unless decaf.
