I made the switch and wowsers lol

I went for my monthly post op visit and the only  thing I  really done differently  this month was switched from splenda to stevia do I like it? Not as much lol am I adjusting? yes and the 8lbs lost is awesome I can tell a.difference in my cravings for sweets if you haven't already kick splenda to the curb lol ....at least set.it on a.shelf and try stevia for a month it's worth a shot...I have 2 more months of pre op then I will be on the big girls losers bench :) 

Now that I think about it, I have to agree. I am a voracious splenda fan, but bought stevia packets for work. I am going to switch at home too... once I finish the ginormous costco sized splenda that I have :)

I am a former splenda bulk buyer and made the switch too.  I've found that not all stevia is created equal.  I have tried powder, liquid and in different brands.  The winner so far, liquid by NOW. 

Thanks for the post on that- I am off to search for that brand now!

What brand liquid.do you prefer I'll.try that next lol 

Sorry I didn't see your post, I use NOW brand stevia.  I get it from amazon.

I agree liquid stevia is better. The skinny girl brand is good - I've bought it in Target and Shoprite. Anything in the skinny girl brand is made with Stevia. I also bought the nunaturals brand from Amazon, It is fine, but I don't think it is worth the price. There is also a powdered mix in packets that is a mix of stevia and monkfruit. I really liked it, bought it at a discount store. It is made by the maker of Equal. Equal naturals is the brand I guess. Problem is when I have seen it anywhere else it is expensive.

I've never tried stevia. Does it have an aftertaste? That has always been my draw to splenda. The lack of an aftertaste.

Splenda had the same effect on me, too. Maintenance is a breeze since I switched to Stevia. I got used to it and love it now. On a rare occasion I have Splenda (when I have coffee and there is no Stevia) and it tastes weird to me now.
