Photo of the Week.... God knows I have tried!!!

HAHAHAHA!!! That is my chewable vitamin face! I actually like Truvia...

Good Morning Cecily

OMGosh I barely could swollen pills I can't imagine chewing them

I was gonna say, I do truvia now. My SF white chocolate for my coffee is sweetened with stevia and xylitol. I just keep my dogs away from it...

But I can't get enough of cilantro either!

Hi Rachel SF white chocolate, yum!

5 Sparrows White Chocolate

I'm hooked on Diet Coke, and I tried switching to a stevia cola a few years ago.

I figure-- I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, I wear my seatbelt and my bike helmet, I even eat the occasional green vegetable. I'm allowed to have one vice!!

Hi Julie

Diet coke? Yep you are going to he** Enjoy as life is too short. I use to drink Pepsi from the time I got up to having one at my bedside at night. For some reason after surgery I could not drink pop any longer. Nothing bu****er and tea since

I hadn't used any artificial sweeteners in about 5 years before surgery... they didn't seem to make a difference in my weight, so why bother? use the real stuff...

So transitioning to sweetener was tough for me... I tried everything, and all different brands. I find liquids more palatable then powder and my understanding from the low-carb minions is that if you use a lot per day (whatever that is) you are getting some carbs in. So little in one packet they don't have to claim it...but it adds up.

So I use liquid splenda. For cooking I use Brown Sugar truvia (not totally sugar free-has some molasses in it) and Swerve which is erythritol.

And I do love my flavored syrups... Irish cream in my coffee every morning...
